Poll Would Iron Man Vs Batman make sense for a Battle of the Week? (89 votes)

Yes 24%
No 73%

I, and many other viners would like to see a match up of Iron Man vs Batman as an official battle here on the vine. The idea has generally been dismissed because some people consider Iron Man too powerful, although I think that is nonsense. There are enough incarnations and settings for both characters that numerous fair matches can be made. It would be interesting to see the staff give their opinion, and for such a battle featured on the main page.

These two characters are among the most popular in all of comicdom and have quite a lot in common, which I think makes for an interesting matchup.

The poll is pretty simple - vote yes if you would like to see it and/or think it's a good idea, or vote no if otherwise.

Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn are also among the most popular in all of comicdom and have quite a lot in common, that doesn't mean a matchup between the two would be a good and fair one for the same reasons why a Iron Man vs Batman one wouldn't be.

This.

Put simply,they are not in the same league. An EMP is barely even an option anymore, and that was Batman's best hope. Unless winner is by "last 2 seconds- Batman is halfway around the world",then yeah,I guess you can say that those are conditions that Batman can win.

I guess you guys missed the part about there being multiple incarnations of both characters that can make it a fair fight.

No. Believe it or not, Batman isn't able to pull something out his a** for any opponent on any given day.

Batman would lose but I guess you could say it makes sense. But he said its a topical battle and iron man wouldn't really fit as topical anymore.

Of course not, that's an awful idea.

Can you imagine the unholy stomp that would ensue if that was battle of the week?

I mean, I would hate for so many Iron Man fans to go home crying after Bruce demolished him...

With his Anti-Iron Man Repellent BatSpray of course!

I can't quote an example, but I don't think that is always the case. If it has, I don't think it would have to be the case.

@comicdude360 said:

Yeah, you're right. I'd seen enough other discussion where it was favorably mentioned that I had thought there would be enough people interested. Most don't seem to realize the format is extensible and there are many ways to have a fair fight.

Look at all the different incarnations of Batman, look at all the different incarnations of Iron Man, do people actually think there are no two that could be evenly matched? From the movies, comics, animated series and video games?

Will be interesting if it becomes more even if the poll is open for longer, although based on replies so far I wouldn't expect it.

No. The only way I could see Batman winning would be through some aspect of manipulation. Which is meaningless without a plot. Otherwise, Stark stomps hard.

Every time we have had this thread over my seven years on the vine, Stark uses Wayne as his personal punching bag, no.

Right. Because out of Batman 1 Million, Batman Beyond or even Kingdom Come Batman wouldn't h ave a chance against even MCU Iron Man right? Sigh.

Still, seems like about a quarter would want to see the fight. Which may be more than who wanted to see some of the other battle match-ups.

So just over a quarter voted yes. I would guess this is more than who would vote to see Batman v Shredder.

I wonder how much would be needed to make it happen?

Not at all. Your poor usage of grammar and spelling makes you seem uneducated. Your refusal to see the value of grammar and spelling makes you seem ignorant.

I'm afraid with these negative traits weighing you down you will never be the best there is at anything other than overestimating your own importance :D

So I can honestly say that bats wouldn't really stand a chance against ironman... Ironmans weapons seem more advanced then bats standard weapons... I don't see batman stealh having and advantage ,nor will his cqc. Emp won't work due to ironman suite being impervious to them, Batarangs useless, grappling hook useless... I like batman over a lot of characters in both dc and marvel but he pales in comparison to the man who has a suit for any occasion , shit even iron spidey would shit on bats.
