Tony Stark (Batman) vs Bruce Wayne (Iron Man)

Both lose Round 1

Guys.... Batman is a master martial artist who has developed his own fighting style and his suit is meant to complement him. Stark isn't a martial artist and his armor makes up for that but he will lose badly in the batsuit, while Bruce wayne can quickly figure out the armor if he doesn't have to hack it, and I feel he will kinda strip it down to allow for more mobility...

I'm sure Stark has security built into his suits that allow only him to use them. Bats wouldn't last any longer than Tony.

Wayne might clear but Stark definitely loses too Talia

QFT

Doesn't Tony have Jarvis or something in the suit? Easy peasy stuff to grasp with help.. For Batman.

Bruce can clear. Tony stops at one.

@tony_shark: Your funny , saying these guys are Batman/Bruce Wayne fanboys, that must make you an Iron Man/Tony Stark fanboy.

I think I have only seen 3 good posts in this thread. D:

I think Bruce will have it easier to handle the armor, than stark to fight without it but still tony has received martial training by cap and I think he has hold his own without the armor before. He can overcome freeze and firefly simply because more or less cry out their power with their outfits so I doubt tiny will get surprised by what they are capable off. Tonys best chance against talia would be his charms and against ras his chances are slim. Bane and deathstroke are simply to much. Batman will not master the armor easily but he will be able to use it good enough to come to crimson dynamo but I think that's where he stops.

Stark will die in round 3...

Tony as Batman? Bruce as Iron Man. First off, tony couldn't be batman. he isn't a master fighter like batman.

D³

Neither of them are clearing this.

@web_flotsam:

Yeah.

How can people actually pee/poo inside their latex suits?

—

Anyways, Wayne can stop at 6, and Stark (while wearing bat's suit) stops at 3-4

@fuzysliperz: All pro-Wayne arguments are invalid because Wayne doesn't use guns and the Ironman armor can't be truly used without using guns.

With Tony Stark: The suit makes the man

With Bruce Wayne: The man makes the suit.

Switch up the suits and what do you get.

Now since I settled this debate now for a NEW vs.! Who gets more babes BRUCE or TONY?!

Neither of them clears.

BATGOD WINS!

PRAISE BE TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!!!

Sorry to bring up an old topic but this one pissed me off. This is spite against Stark. What makes anyone think that Tony Stark could beat anyone with standard Bat-suit? He has no idea how to throw batarangs (Batman trained for years to perfect these skills) he has no stealth skills whatsoever (Tony Stark is one of the most eye-catching superheroes there are.) and while he has trained with Cap, plaintively, he stillsucks at H2H compared to Steve. Nowhere close. Plus Stark's an alcoholic-ish person who's physical stats aren't too impressive. Batman is not an inventor? Who makes the antidotes for all the toxin his enemies use? Definitely not an inventor, huh? Batman is incredibly smart. Yes. Albert Einstein is incredibly smart. Yes. But while Einstein has 160-ish IQ Batman has over 180. Batman can't use the suits? Dubious, because Taskmaster stole and used a suit so Batman should be able too. Tony Stark has no stealth, speed, or skill in a batsuit, but the Iron Man suits give everything to Wayne. So Wayne clears, and Stark dies. Honestly, IDK if Stark could even beat Jobbercroc. Oh yeah, you say Bane isn't a martial arts master? Go read Knightfall. Bane made his own martial arts, not satisfied with learning ones already in use. What were you saying?

I dunno if Batman would clear, but he'd definitely make it further than Tony

Yea Bruce easily clears, stark dies round 1

I could see batman using tony's stealth armor while tony's modifying the bat mobile to an armor both of them would probably clear . . . batman is the kind of hero that exploit someone's weakness while tony is the kind of hero that do something about his weakness

This is very interesting and I like the OP. Anyway, knowing Tony he will build the bat suit into something that he can use and vice versa for Bruce. They will utilize and make do with what they have and since they're both geniuses I think they both make it through. Tony will have more trouble because hes not a strategist like Bruce and yes Bruce is way more versatile and a better fighter and survivor but I still think both heroes make it through.

Okay first apologies if I'm necroing, entirely new to this and all; don't yet know the proper procedures.

1. Which versions of Batman and Iron Man are these?

Batman - Bruce has "access" to the pre-Extremis Armor but there lies a problem. J.A.R.V.I.S or which ever A.I, Tony set up for Security can and probably will lock him the suit if or before Bruce gets in it. That would mean Bruce is out before he can even start his battles. If Bruce manages to find a way to out maneuver said A.I security measures. I am almost positive the rest of the Avengers would have been alerted or at least S.H.I.E.L.D and Bruce would be in custody by evening.

If Bruce is given access to the suit and is able to fight NO ONE is going to underestimate Iron Man because of the reputation he's built up World Wide. Bruce will be thrown in the burner 1st battle. Sure his own physical prowess, and tactics accompanied by a helpful A.I and the suit's armory and enhancements would give him the upper hand. However his unwillingness to kill would limit which weapons he would favor during the fight. Either way I don't see things ending well for Bruce.

Iron Man - You gave Tony access to the entire Bat Cave.

That Batmobile is getting re purposed into a Iron Man suit with or without a bat-theme. Tony will probably be able to hack Bruce's computers to see what sort of situation he's stuck in (meaning he would be prepared since Bruce keeps files on everyone). None of the rogues and villains in Gotham would expect anything Tony brings out especially if he's had time of prepare for any challenge marked "high priority" on Bruce's Bat Cave computers. Other then Dr. Freeze, and Deathstroke none of them should give Tony any problems. Tony Stark after all has no problems with morality when it comes to finishing a villain.

Or this could end up like Bruce's fail scenario where Alfred/Bat Kids comes upon Tony trying to hack into the Bat Cave's computer and knocks Tony out with the serving tray.

Results.

Tony Stark (Batman) - Clears all 7 with Gotham burning.

Bruce Wayne (Iron Man) - Manages to capture a few. They break out, team up and Bruce ends up in hospital.

I haven't seen one valid argument as to how Stark beats Mr. Freeze. He gets attacked immediately. He can't make up his own tech. Even in an hour w/o expecting it there is no way he beats Freeze. Not to mention it's infinitely easier to go from doing things on your own to doing them with tech than the reverse.

As far as I can tell, strategy wise? Tony would just try to reason with Victor if possible if not bombard the location before escaping for a back up tactic? I mean He has built a Arctic Armor before and faced off against Blizzard, who even if not as smart as Victor specializes in cryogenics.

As for your scenario where Victor Freeze suddenly shows up at Tony's location where he's singled out immediately (for what ever reason). Well yea unless there is loose material around where he can make something on the fly powered by his arc reactor; No way Tony wins empty handed.

I think that I heard somewhere he used his own Arc Reactor as a makeshift defibrillator, maybe he can convert that to a super taser?

@manoftin: It's not my scenario, it's the OP's.

True having Mr. Freeze on the start is a bit unfair for Tony, but I doubt he'd just rush out immediately to save Gotham. First of all he has no actual connections and logic and rationality would dictate he first prepare himself. I'm sure he can fix something up to take down Freeze in under the hour.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the psychological aspect & the detective that Batman's had to use to beat the Joker. If Joker killed Rhodes with a crowbar then Iron Man would kill him out of rage then revert to being a drunk but would have to find him. Joker's no idiot & the reason Batman can defeat is cause Bruce Wayne lost his parents & faceed his darkest fears is psychologically prepared. Even if Iron Man manages to win he still wouldnt win cause I don't see him not being a drunk if Joker does to Potts what he did to Barbera & Dick. As far as Batman goes he's trained himself psychologicaly, intectelectually, physically, & mentality to adapt I say 2 rounds in & he becomes a "Superior" Iron Man combined with he's detective skills & prep Batman is "invincible" I'm sure Tony's has a database somewhere of knowledge on his enemies & Batman with a little time get the password with that being said a week of going over that & Batman's becomes efficiently more effective all around a better Iron Man then Iron Man himself.

I'd say whoever kidnapped and relocated Tony and Bruce is the true badass.

@immortal777: Wrong

@theamazingbatman: Because he had time to learn

Tony can most certainly come up with something. He'll he could make a gun and just shoot all the bad guys. He's not above killing. Bruce on the other hand...He can't even FIT into the Iron Man armors, he's too big. Even if he could he is INCAPABLE. Of powering them. The arc reactor in still in Tony's chest.

I believe all of Tony's mentioned foes are still alive, so not sure why so many are using Bruce's "no kill" rule against him in this one.

I believe that Bruce can pass all if he can hook up to the Iron Man suit and Jarvis without the arc reactor (or maybe there is another in Tony's shop). If Bruce can't use the suit for above reason I'm sure he can make a decent suit with the Stark tech to still be a badass Batman since Bruce is making the suit in the Batman case anyhow and the same can not be said for Tony (War Machine is a pretty good Iron Man equivalent for example). Bruce is still a beast without a complex armor.

Tony can most likely make some decent stuff in one hour with the Wayne tech in the cave (he first has to find the cave as well, so he won't have a full hour of engineering if he finds the cave at all that is - he's no detective mind you).

That being said I don't think Tony can do wonders in such a short timespan to be able to match Batman's toughest foes - because say what you will, but Tony without epic tech is no match for these guys.

Hence:

Bruce goes farther than Tony.

Winner: BRUCE
