Batman VS Ironman (Fantasy Fight)

My favourite of the two is definitely Batman, but I do think Iron Man would get the better of him. World's Greatest Detective against the World's Greatest Genius? Intellectually they are most likely on the same level. Physically, Bruce Wayne is obviously much stronger than Tony Stark, but then you bring in the Iron Man armour and well, yeah. Iron Man becomes the strongest, physically. Already Iron Man has the advantage because his intelligence probably matches Batman, but then he is also physically stronger than Batman.

Now let's bring their gadgets into the equasion.

Iron Man's primary 'gadgets' are all pretty much used to fly around and blow things up.

Batman's primary gadgets are more useful in espionage. His Batarangs are used to disable opponents, his grapple is used for mobility, his suit does act as a form of armour, but I highly doubt it would withstand the sort of firepower Iron Man has at his disposal. Iron Man's armour was designed to take one hell of a beating, so there's no way Batman could stand a chance fighting hand to hand, and his Batarangs wouldn't be very effective unless he got a lucky shot at some weak point. Batman's best bet would be to use the explosive gel featured in the Arkham games.

If Batman was to find a way of winning, he would most likely find some way of disabling Iron Man and then removing the Arc Reactor that keeps him powered/alive.

But then, Iron Man isn't some mindless brawler. He has insane amounts of firepower at his disposal, he can fly and is generally stronger than Batman. He's also smart enough to have some sort of plan on how to tackle Batman.

I'm not saying this would be a one-sided fight, but Iron Man does have a much greater advantage here.

Although, I do think that the outcome of such a fight would actually be settled with a coin toss between Marvel and DC. ;)

Iron Man would win the initial battle. However, if the fight were in Marvel's pre super hero registration Batman would use his dective skills to learn Iron Man's true identity and reveal it to the world thus completly defeating Iron Man.

Post registration Batman would destroy Iron Man in the second fight because he would have had time to plan.

Neither of these options would matter, however, because Batman's utility belt has a gadget for every possibility. Plus as everyone who has read the "War Games" story line of Batman knows; he has a plan for every possibility and is always creating more.

So when all is said and done:

Batman WINS!!!!

If iron man wins the initial battle, that means Batman is dead. That's the problem with Batman. He was traumatized as a child and wants to eliminate violence from the world, even if that means taking mercy on an enemy who wants to kill him. He doesn't equip himself with inherently lethal weaponry. Iron Man, however, doesn't seem to have any qualms about completely destroying, maiming, and killing his enemies with his suit, which is equipped to do as much damage as possible when the need arises. Iron Man would win because of Batman's pacifism.

Ironman, because if worse comes to worse, hes willing to kill. That and unless your talking about batman beyond batman who has an armored suit, batman has no real protection to speak of in comparison to the Iron Man armor. The iron man system is a weapon of destruction, both precise or grand, batman is a detective and ninja essentially, in a direct conflict of that sense hes completely out of his element.
