I'm a fan of both, but when it comes down to it Batman's superpower is that he ALWAYS wins, so in the end it'd go to him. I mean the dude beat Superman to death and Ironman's got nothing on him.

So after seeing the new Iron Man movie, and with the Dark Knight not too far behind us, my friends and I got into a discussion. Who would win in a fight, Batman or Iron Man. I am siding with Iron Man, mainly because of the super suit. However, if you cut it right down, they are almost the same person, Batman just needs to upgrade his suit. So I now turn to you Escapist goers, who would win?

on a side note, this is my first thread, and could not find anything relating to this. So to the MODS/people who care. If this is somehow breaking the rules, please take action.
Batman seems to focus on being a detective whereas Iron man seems to focus on kickass. So it depends really what the situation is. They are largely the same but with greater bounds of pseudoscience I'd say Iron man definitely has the upper hand.

A fine point was brought up; are we talking movie or comic versions?

Comic Batman vs comic Iron Man, I'd honestly place my money on Batman. Rich and smart as Tony Stark is, Bruce Wayne has manhandled pretty much every superhero in the DC universe...most of whom could could crush Iron Man like an empty beer can. If Batman was blindsided, I'd be inclined to side with Iron Man...but odds are Bats would pull a deux ex machina out of his ass and win regardless. He's the goddamn Batman, after all.

However, the movie versions are much different. Robert Downey, Jr. would shrug off anything Christian Bale could throw at him, blow up the batmobile, systematically disable his gear, and leave him dangling naked from a flagpole with a "I'm Batman" sign around his neck. There's simply no comparison between the two heroes in the movies; for all the awesome that is the Batman movies in terms of story, Iron Man wins in power and intelligence. There wouldn't be any way for Christian Bale's Batman to defeat Robert Downey, Jr.'s Iron Man.

I remember hearing somewhere that "Iron man is what Batman would be if Bruce decided to fuck, drink, have fun, and not be such a whiny little *****."
I'm paraphrasing of course, but 'whiny little *****' is straight quoted from the source. Therefore, my vote's for Iron man.

(The 2nd Iron man movie though...coulda been another 30 minutes longer, if just to give a more epic finish. Final fight seemed rather anticlimactic, amirite?)

I see BATMAN hiding in the dark just above Ironman.... I see Ironman activate his nightvision.

I see that BATMAN really CAN fly!... After being hit by one of Ironman's flight stabilisers...

Or his wrist rocket... Or the shoulder canons.... Or the fucking awesome cutting lazor!




Still... Flash Gordon would woop both their asses! Even better, Flesh Gordon!


On the other hand... Its all in the theme-song.
AC-DC vs. Queen?

Ah, the Flash. One of the few super heroes who can be defeated by a bag of caltrops or a bunch of glue bought from the hardware store.

Maybe even an oil slick if you're feeling expensive.
Haha just go down to the gulf Coast

OT:Iron Man would beat the fuck out of Batman unless he used a EMP thing like Captain America (My favorite) did in the Civil War

What did we tell you about versus threads?
Huh? They're bad. Versus threads gives people cancer!
Only when not endorsed by the Escapist staff, apparently.

Depends which version of Batman we're talking about really. I mean, the latest ones haven't displayed his bat-flyer-thing as far as I know. That's probably quite important since Iron Man can fly and all.
Yeah i find that hypocrisy kind of amusing, i mean that whole march mayhem thing was nothing but a series of pointless Vs threads and everyone went mad for it so some people just need to step down from their ivory towers and if you don't like Vs threads then no one is making you read it.....

I think Iron man would probably win despite the fact i prefer batman as having a seemingly indestructible suit kind of puts him with an advantage, although with that said just get Adam west on the case and he just might have some anti-Ironman spray handy, that ought to do the trick!!

Iron man easily. I mean come on, its iron man, he's got stuff that shoots out lasers and a punch from that suit would hurt like hell.

As long as they're not about politics , religion , Halo vs CoD .
Leave the guy alone.
OT: Batman. Just because

Whos voting for Ironman?

I'm sure that batman would have some kind of anti-ironman device on his belt.
Of course, the 'anti-ironman suit spray'. It's right next to his 'anti-shark' spray.

As a rule in any fight with batman always loses in the first round. Then in the second and third round Batman comes back and beats the hell out of the opponent which in this case if Iron Man.
After he develops his bat anti-iron man spray, am I right? Although to be fair, it's just shark repellent with a different label.

Edit:AAAHHH joke ninja'd.

The fact of the matter is that theres nothing Bateman can really do to Ironman. Ironman on the other hand can do lots to Bateman.

Has everyone forgotten that Batman has the Batwing?

Why are so many people saying that Batman isn't Batman if he has to get a new suit to fight Iron Man? Of course he is still Batman! Why should a man who is fully capable of adapting to a situation not be allowed to do so? It's practically his whole schtick!

Take away Batmans ability to overcome great odds and you might as well take away Tony Starks suit.
