Bruce Wayne willingly trained himself for fricking years under Ra's Ll Ghul's tutelage to make himself the hero he was. Tony Used his Dad's resources and tech to build his suit



So, you're saying he would be just as effective being batman in sweatpants, out of a studio apartment, while driving a 98' Corolla?

Or does being heir to the Wayne Family fortune help a little?

Yes.

He doesn't even have superpowers so I'm not sure why he's even classified as a super hero... all he has are tools/weapons someone else made for him.


And it has little to do with his superpowers. The whole plot device/dossier thing. His grumpy attitude (there's a reason Batman:TAS might be one of the best versions of Batman).

The Lego Batman stuff is spot on was to why Batman is just a completely boring and annoying character.





That's why Dick Grayson > Bruce Wayne.

Iron Man is closer to a superhero than Batman.

That doesn't make him a super hero by definition because he won't have super powers no matter he does. It just makes a genius.

Also, Batman lives on his villains as he does have the best stable of villains of any superhero.

That much is true.

enjoy the regular Batman vs regular villain stories. Juiced up Batman vs actual superheroes like Superman is silly.



Yeah it does get a little out of hand when Batman had an interesting time taking down two-face and then turns around and holds his own against aliens the next week.

That's why Nolan/Arkham series/animated series are the best Batmen. Smaller stories with excellent villains.

Yeah, because getting bitten by a spider is fricking hardcore. You know there's more to the story that just his parents dying.

Considering you resorted to basically calling me gay, I'll take this as a victory

Yeah Batman definitely ripped off Iron Fist...

Batman first appeared in comics 1939

Iron Fist first appeared in comics 1974

Of course it does, I never said it didnt. The OP was saying that Batman shouldn't even be a super hero, I'm saying that if Iron man is, then so is Batman.

I realize the context of my post made it seem like I was saying that Batman is better(more of a superhero) than Iron man, but that was a direct response to the OP giving validity to iron man, and not batman.

He's talking bout the League of Assassins, which didn't appear until the 60's, and I don't think Batman was retconned as a member of LoA until Batman: Year One which was the 80's...post Iron Fist. I could be wrong on that though.

Batman's original origin has nothing to do with the League.

Spiderman's villain stable gives him a legit run for his money. I still give it to Batman based on the strength of the Joker alone. Take him out of the equation I don't think it's such a clear victory.

If being gay is a victory for you, celebrate away. But insulting you wasn't the point. My point was to illustrate how bland his origin really is
