I think Bruce is the better hand to hand fighter, but Stark is smarter.

Iron Man would jump into the the fight, and Batman would plan it out for days like a game of chess changing weapo...... Ok, the more I think about it, Batman would win in a fight. Damn

He would probably just pull out his Iron Man suit.

Let me preface this by saying that I've never read any comics for either character, but I don't see how that's possible given the respective movies for each (and what other info I know about them). Iron Man's suit is way overpowered for a fight with Batman. How would Batman even hope to hurt him? Throw batarangs at him? Try to fist fight that armor suit that apparently Thor and his hammer can't even break?

This is incredibly nerdy, but I was on a comic forum the other day and got linked to a site that ranked comic heroes and villains by power level. Iron Man was ranked 100 with Silver Surfer and some other super badasses. Batman and Spiderman were both ranked at a level of 10

What the frick is batman gonna do to Iron Man punch him to death? hit him in the chest with a batarang? I like batman more than Iron Man but its no contest on who would win in a fight.

If it wasnt for little arm spikes that shoot out batman would have lost in a hand to hand fight with the joker and had trouble with dogs.

Iron Man had trouble NOT blowing up fighter jets.

The movies aren't good representations since Nolan has gone somewhere different with Batman. Something that works well on film, but it isn't a comic book world, and Bale's Batman has a lot of limitations.

That's ranking them with an esoteric term like "power level." Of course Batman isn't going to rank high on that. In a fight though, Batman holds his own.

I'm not even a Batman fanboy, see the avatar, but Batman has proven himself over and over again in the comics. Against more dangerous foes than Iron Man has fought. He's "beaten" Superman, however you want to look at that. He'd find a way to win, because, well, that's Batman.

In the case of that pure list, Iron Man would get stomped by quite a few people, including the Surfer.

How though without some out like Bruce Wayne figuring out how to disable Stark's suit ahead of time?

So if Iron Man gets the jump on Wayne? Sure, that might tip the scales, but that's inserting favorable winds one way or the other, not a way to decide it.

I'm sure that in hand to hand combat, with no suits and armors and weapons, that Bruce Wayne could whip Tony Stark's arse.


But when the suits, armor, and weaponry come into play, it's no contest in Iron Man's favor.

That wouldn't even be fair for Stark

True, but when the gadgets come into play, it's not a fair fight the other way either.

You're saying if Batman has no time to prepare, aka, Stark gets the jump. Yeah, that's something favoring IM. Flip it the other way and Batman wins easily.

That's no way to decide this.

Actually no, that's basically a fair fight. Batman has all kinds of gadgets, suits, etc. And it would come down to resourcefulness, and no one is better at that than Batman.

Tony Stark keeps his suit with him at all times. Unless Bruce is planning on fighting Tony with no suits, then no amount of pre-planning or sneak attack is going to stop Iron Man from whipping Batman's arse. It's jut not going to happen man.

Two better more even match-ups would be Thor vs. Superman or Thor vs. Green Lantern. Now if you want to get into intrasquad match-ups then you can have Hulk vs. Wolverine, Batman vs. Nite Owl, Superman vs. Green Lantern vs. Dr. Manhattan, and the match-up everyone wants to see: Black Widow vs. Silk Spectre.

Now those are some match-ups right there.

I'm just being straight up with you. Batarangs and kevlar don't do shite when the guy has a suit of iron and has lasers and missiles and shite shooting off of him. Hell, all Iron Man would have to do is get a tight grip on him, fly up a few hundred feet and let him go. Game over.

No, I didn't say that at all. I basically said that I don't see any possible way Batman can win unless we assume that he finds a way to disable the suit ahead of time, which is kind of an easy out for him IMO. Why are you automatically assuming that given time and planning he'd be able to do that? Not giving Batman that benefit of the doubt is favoring Iron Man or giving him an unfair advantage?

eta: My initial thought in this thread was that if the two just ran into each other the way that Iron Man and Thor did in the Avengers it would be an arse kicking on the scale of what the Hulk did to Loki

Yup. It's pretty easy to understand really. No weapons/suits/armor then Wayne wins. With all the gadgets, Iron Man wins. Pretty cut and dry there and no legit argument otherwise.

Batarangs and kevlar


Wayne may not be AS smart as Stark, but he has far more than Batarangs and Kevlar. See the "Tower of Babel" for how he works. It's just funny that Iron_Man gets his arsenal and Batman is limited to Batarangs and Kevlar. SO yes, it's being stacked in favor of one.
