Batman vs. Iron Man - FIGHT!

[Dannyalcatraz]

Bat's hand to hand skills don't matter if Stark is in armor, no. He knows better than to punch and kick metal.

Batman wouldn't be thinking about taking a fully kitted out Iron Man down with his mixed martial arts prowess. Those skills would only take the fore if he had either disabled the armor somehow, or was going after an unarmored Tony Stark.

(My guess is he'd use an EMP to disable him for @10sec- an eternity when facing a foe who is your intellectual peer and insane enough to prep for combatting every known super being...just in case.)

Now, if it is BOX OFFICE, it could be equal all the way. Only Spider-Man's worldwide average is better.

Spider-Man: 4 Movies: AVERAGE Worldwide: $812.1 -- AVERAGE Domestic / %: $344.0 42.4% -- Overseas / %: $468.2 57.6%
Batman: 7 Movies: AVERAGE Worldwide: $530.4 -- AVERAGE Domestic / %: $270.3 51.0% -- Overseas / %: $260.1 49.0%
Iron Man: 3 Movies: AVERAGE Worldwide: $469.2 -- AVERAGE Domestic / %: $210.3 44.8% -- Overseas / %: $258.9 55.2% (Iron man 3 was release last week overseas)

I'm a huge Marvel geek, but if Tony is outside the armor..

As with any Batman fight, it comes down to preparation.
If they just bumped into each other Iron Man would win. Hands down. His arsenal is just too potent. But if Batman has access to his Cave and knows he's fighting Iron Man he'll kitbash a gadget that fries the armour. Even given half-an-hour and some assorted supplies he'll be able to MacGyver together some defence.

A better fight would be Bruce Wayne versus Tony Stark to see who gets the supermodel.

Of course, BatMan has his own Powered Armor. We only got to see it in action in one ep of Batman:Beyond.

Heh.

Tony and Bruce walk into a party from opposite sides. Where do the eyes turn (and I don't mean just those of the women)?

For all of these discussions, I always fall back to the fact that Batman's preparedness IS his super power. I don't know if I'd be willing to consider "surprising Batman" to be one of Iron Man's.

Furthermore, have you ever noticed that you never see Iron Man and Bruce Wayne together at the same time?

Batman is prepared to take on every other super being he is aware of. He is NOT prepared to take on every other super being he is aware of at all times.

If Superman woke up evil one day, and decided to redirect a meteor to target the Batcave, Batman's best chance is not being home. If he survives, Supes better watch his back.

Ditto Iron Man and similar types. He has the ability to strike- lethally- from beyond Batman's ability to detect the threat. If they strike when Bats has no reason to suspect the attack, its over.

I have to say, I get the urge to play a supers RPG every time one of these threads pops up. I just wish someone in my group besides me ran supers campaigns...

I could SO run a Green Lantern/Iron Man fusion right now...

 

[Hand of Evil]

I am kind of surprised that there is not stats for the two for a game like Mutants & Masterminds. Then we could Danger Room them.
