His characters are consistent. It's like he has this magic wardrobe, and every garment is a different character, and as long as he wears that garment he is that character. Or something.
I seriously think the batshit crazy helps. Maybe he just doesn't have a good enough grasp on who exactly RDJr. is, or something, and that allows him to do the mad acts of genius (and also contributes to his addiction issues).
(Please note: I am not saying one must be a tortured soul to be a genius artist. I just think it helps in this case.)

Well, he's a dude playing a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

Helen Mirren (so young!) and Diana Rigg from 1968 production of Midsummer Night's Dream.
I remember that production! they showed it on PBS when I was a tween. Also, note the very young David Warner.
Beau and I just watched The Fall and I have to say that I enjoyed it more than Pan's Labyrinth. I think I just typed heresy, but I'm putting it out there. Tarsem isn't exactly my favorite director, I found The Cell to be beautiful, but a broken movie. I liked The Fall a lot better. It isn't wonderful, but I found it enjoyable - and needing maybe an additional scene or 2. Lee Pace was excellent.
For a movie about twelve dudes stuck in a room yelling at each other,
12 Angry Men
sure is good.
Now I'm sad you saw Veronica Mars first. The episode where she has jury duty is a total tribute.
