I have this toy of Batman in a shining silver armour. Is this a fake Batman?
If not, what version of Batman is it and would he stand a chance against Iron Man?
EDIT: He also has a shield. Like a knight. (Probably had a sword too but I must have lost that part.)
Sounds like an "Else Worlds" Batman: a series that took familiar characters and placed them in alternate continuities.
He may have had a sword in Kingdom Come. I know Wonder Woman did and cut off part of his wing...hmmmmmmmm. He also had armor of a sort in Batman vs. Predator. It was good stuff. He took on Superman in a Bat-Ironman suit of armor in Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns book 4. No sword.
None of these forms of armor appeared to be in the same league with Iron Man's. Heck, in the Dark Knight, it was only good enough to slow Supes down while Supes got hammered from numerous sides to try to keep Batman from getting killed (Supe's thinks, "Bruce this is silly, you're just meat and bone" then rips his metal cowl off Batman's head with one hand, just before breaking Batman's ribs with a single punch to Batman's armored mid-section)

That is from Kingdom Come, and he is holding a sort of Bat-Lance.
The way Ironman is handled, I think he is supposed to be in Superman's league.
