Viral Video: Are Iron Man and Batman Begins the Same Movie? Dan Koelsch, February 11, 2010 College Humor is known for their videos that showcase how two movies are extremely similar. The call the series “Deja View”, and they’ve done some great ones in the past, including Star Trek vs. Star Wars, and Dude Where’s My Car? vs. The Hangover. A similarly themed video mashed up Avatar and Fern Gully. Their latest “Deja View” pits Iron Man and Batman Begins against each other.
