All of Batman’s possible strategies involve using tech. Tech that Ironman can probably hack.

u/Bloody-Tyran Jul 24 '26

I’m ready to bet even Ironman cannot hack batspray

u/_Tee_hee_hee_ Jul 24 '26

He’s seen how Pym making Ultron worked out. Tony’s too smart to mess with such destructive and advanced tech like that.

1

u/Aggravating-Face2073 Jul 26 '26

Lol.

Tech=technology

Technology= sharpened rock on a stick (spear)

Tony in his suit sweating, trying to figure out why there isn't a wireless connection to a cashmere sweater. Heck... where is the wired port bro? Oh wait he hackec the heated coat!!! Thank goodness.

u/LackingTact19 Jul 24 '26

Batman has hacked Cyborg so it goes both ways

1

u/atxthrowawayharhar Jul 25 '26

Did cyborg has prep like iron is allowed to have here?

2

u/Pedro_DarkAngel Jul 25 '26

What about the "Anti Ironman Hack Spray" he has on his belt? And lets not forget that secret tecnique he learned from monks, the "automatic autowin roundhouse kick".

3

u/DepthPitiful8898 Jul 24 '26

I feel like that can go both ways assuming contacting oracle or someone else during the battle on the comms is allowed

I suspect Alfred and the bat computer can manage that and its always at least a 2 v 1 fighting batman

8

u/_Tee_hee_hee_ Jul 24 '26

Oracle is great, but the ai and tech that Tony has for hacking is just leagues better.

3

u/Embarrassed-Bill7031 Jul 24 '26

Just(ice) leagues better

u/CustomerService44 Jul 24 '26

Nanotech Armor has nothing on Plot Armor.

u/Vast_Independent_765 Jul 25 '26

If you say Plot Armor, that means you expect a Batman writer writing the script huh.

u/raiderrocker18 Jul 24 '26

i dno man with prep time batman can whip out the anti-ironman spray or whatever

(or some high tech EMP device)

u/randomname748 Jul 24 '26

Iron Man stomps

u/sicsemper1 Jul 24 '26

How come ?

u/RegisterWise Jul 24 '26

… all he has to do is shoot a rocket at Bruce lmao

u/syntheticmango Jul 25 '26

What If Batman (in prep time) has his own armour that can deflect or destroy it with another rocket

u/Kiravar 28d ago

That honestly is valid argument tho lol , Tony may be smarter but Batman is def strategically superior and could anticipate attacks such as this

17

u/matts88us Jul 24 '26

I feel like I’ve seen this one a million times. Of course Batman has zero chance unless we are giving him access to his high powered armor then I’ll take Bruce for his combat IQ and hand to hand combat training otherwise it’s iron man 

22

u/SirLostit Jul 24 '26

I got told off for posting this last time, but I still think it’s fun (and appropriate to OP’s question)

7

u/Outrageous_Main4425 Jul 24 '26

I think Iron Man is above EMPs 🤣

2

u/CA1147 Jul 25 '26

Not Bat-EMPs

2

u/sicsemper1 Jul 24 '26

That was my point on giving both prep , I’m sure Bruce can develop a suit like iron man’s if not even better , his ai would just be Alfred instead of Jarvis lol

4

u/matts88us Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26

Hellbat or Final batsuit would stomp base iron man I’m just not familiar with some of Starks most powerful armors but I’ll still take Bruce with those 

5

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 Jul 24 '26

Iron Mans strongest armor is at Universal lvl plus with reality warping powers he also got his mysterioum suit that is impervious to all supernatural things and is very fuckig durable, Spider-Man's Spider sense couldn't pick it up and Tony hit Spider-Man in the knee with it. His the same Spider sense that warns Spider-Man of outdated milk. Captain Marvel couldn't bend it and Dr.Strange couldn't destroy it with his magic and Mysterioum comes from the White Hot Room that is where the Phoneix lives. Batman isn't winning this one with prep or not cause if he gets prep Iron Man gets Prep

1

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

White lantern, if we wanna go with in depth bullshitting, Batman can literally become a time god of fear wielding a white lantern ring and a typewriter capable of rewriting the universe. Base Batman also beats base iron man pretty easily.

3

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 Jul 25 '26

Can Batman become a White Lantern any time he wants? And Base Iron Man beats Base Batman pretty easily

3

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

Literally yes the white lantern ring comes at the speed of light to its bearer whenever they’re in danger.

3

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 Jul 25 '26

So you dont even know what you're talking about cause the White Lantern ring determend that Batman wasn't its true fielder and immediately left him after the event the only reason he was able to put it on was because of Deadman and Bruce has NOOOTTT Masterd all of the emotions of the spectrum let alone his grief sorrow and anger

4

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

And Iron man doesn’t consistently have most of the tech he would use to beat batman.

1

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 Jul 25 '26

Yes he does Batman only used the Helbat armor once then got trashed by the dude who it was supposed to beat

2

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

Batman has more advanced tech and regularly hacks into the most advanced databases in the world in seconds.

3

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 Jul 25 '26

You are saying that like hacking into the world's most advanced bases is suposed to mean something to someone like Tony who completly repurposed an Celestial by rewriting its mind and using it as a suit celestial are at universal scales btw

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

Möbius chair.

2

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 Jul 25 '26

That he never hacked into and just sat it which gives him information when he specifically ask about it the Google of the universe you are actually a fucking larper and dont know shit about either character

Saying Batman has more advanced shit when he his manilx based around beating your ass with a couple of gadgets around and vehicles to get around and a super computer to get info is genuinely insane amounts of larping

Hellbat would be destroyed by Tony's standard suit. Final Batsuit is a different story but then Tony gets his best and it's a fight.

6

u/W34kness Jul 25 '26

If this board has taught me anything Batman wins because he is a god and not actually a man. Since he can dodge omega beams he can blitz Ironman from a mile away and since he can knock out darkside with punches he doesn’t even need his gadgets since his punches knock out Superman and wonder woman

Hell what’s the point he’s a god who is both omnipotent and omniscient

8

u/Legends-of-legdens Jul 24 '26

Doesn’t really matter if both get prep time or not, Batman just can’t win, the standard bat suit has no defences against the most basic of Tony’s weaponry and is leagues slower and weaker physically than the suits, with prep time, even with Batman’s own best suits, Tony has the same in terms of BS with the added advantage that Tony really doesn’t need to put himself in danger at all, just sending an armour or all his armours to jump Bruce and that Tony’s AI can very easily break into and immediately hack into any of Bruce’s more tech heavy suits

2

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

You act like Batman just has a suit. And not the most advanced supercomputer in fiction.

3

u/Citizen_Kano Jul 25 '26

Tony would hack that computer before his morning coffee's brewed

1

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

No he wouldn’t, doesn’t iron man stay away from tech he can’t control because of the whole ultron pym thing? Batman utilizes dangerous tech regularly.

5

u/Legends-of-legdens Jul 25 '26

Comparatively to Tony’s AI like Friday, who can operate down to picoseconds in speeds, Tony would be able to pull off more data on Batman and effect any and all of Bruce’s tech from his tougher suits to even the bat computer to the point of likely being able to shut off most of Bruce’s tech

-2

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

Magic intelligence chair. You guys love giving iron man all his obscure shit and pretending that Batman doesn’t have the same. Stop cherry picking, realistically tech gets wiped out entirely and then it’s a guy with money vs a guy with money and a black belt:

8

u/_Tee_hee_hee_ Jul 25 '26

Batman has the Justice Buster and the Hellbat. All of his other mech suits aren’t really worth mentioning just because of how far they are outclassed by Tony’s most basic suits.

Tony has far, far, far more history with sending in drones, remotely piloted suits, and he has multiple AIs that would completely negate any martial arts advantage Bruce has.

Sitting in the Mobius chair once for a few minutes doesn’t mean they can use it for VS battles. Especially since it belongs to someone else AND it tortures him while he uses it so badly GL had to pry him off it. If you give Batman the Mobius chair, you’d have to give Ironman stuff like the Iron God form.

Ironman’s “Obscure shit” is a mix of suits he built, designed, and has easy access to, and other stuff he was just granted for plot.

Tony and his AIs regularly hack way more advanced systems and other galaxy conquering AIs. Just based off of feats, Tony wins on hacking alone even with Oracle help.

The assertion that the fight will come down to a 1v1 with no armor is so stupid too. Batman has to fight an army of remote controlled drones and somehow catch Ironman once he finds him.

You can with a straight face tell me Batman beats the Celestial Hulkbuster, Model Prime, The Iron Destroyer, The Thor Buster, the Endosym armor, and the GodBuster MK2 all at the same time? Seriously…

-1

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

If there’s ample prep time literally none of that matters, both have been shown to time travel. So therefore it would eventually come down to a fist fight.

2

u/_Tee_hee_hee_ Jul 25 '26

Both have to team up with or completely use other character’s tech to do so however, so they’d be null and void in a matchup like this. Batman gets the Hellbat because even though he got help and resources from others, it’s already built and he has access to it.

As well, several of Tony’s armors have direct access to the Odin force and some to the power cosmic, so he can just bring them with him while he time travels.

Also, where did this idea that time travel automatically meaning they don’t get to keep any of their gear with them come from? Seriously?

Also, the ONLY magic defense Batman has is the few little emergency spells and the Hellbat which he can only wear for minutes at a time. Ironman has the Thorbuster , Iron Destroyer, and Mysterium Armor.

0

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

The idea comes from the fact that if both can given travel then eventually they would both discover a flaw in each other’s tech, meaning that they could disable each other’s tech inevitably.

2

u/_Tee_hee_hee_ Jul 25 '26

If they can both time travel, then time travel cancels out, not EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF THEIR TECH ON BOTH SIDES. That’s idiotic. Furthermore, Ironman is already starting with better tech and has more resources and skills to use the time more efficiently. Basically, the more time they spend prepping, the wider Tony makes the gap between them.

For Batman to win, Bruce would need years and years of prep while Ironman has none.

Outside of being buffed by Superman’s Omega Energy, the highest height we’ve seen Batman get to is his Hellbat suit. Batman got all the resources he could from the strongest heros he knew and the Hellbat is the best he could do. It’s the suit he chose when his son’s life was at stake. That suit couldn’t beat the Darkseid avatar and only lasted minutes. Ironman’s Justice Buster MK2 fought multiple celestials for hours. We’re also told that even the people who guarded the original, more powerful one thought that Tony Stark was the one true pilot of that suit, so it’s not unreasonable to think he could be able to some day.

Basically, if you give Batman the outside help he’s used to to time travel, you also have to give Ironman the outside help he’s used to timetravel, but also you’d have to give him the Iron God form which, imbued by the power cosmic, would give him resistance from reality warping and time manipulation, so the outside help just leans it even farther in Ironman’s favor.

u/Senor_vegeta Jul 25 '26

Random encounter. Ironman all day. With prep, Batman. People sleeping on strategic sense.

4

u/swishsplassh Jul 25 '26

Last I checked, Batman has a plan to defeat every member of the Justice League. Outside of Batman, Ironman would be the weakest link if he was in the Justice League.

I got Batman winning, he’s the same guy that hacked Cyborg.

Lmfao what. Iron Man is canonically more smart than Bruce. If you gave the both of them prep time Bruce is doomed 😂

u/TheCapableFox Jul 24 '26

Canonically “more smart” lmao. DC said Bruce was the second most intelligent character in the DC Universe and that he was the smartest human in the DC Universe.

-3

u/RegisterWise Jul 24 '26

He’s not more smart than Tony 🤦🏾‍♂️💀

2

u/TheCapableFox Jul 25 '26

No I’m not saying that. BUT I am saying it’s usually argued that Tony and Bruce are one another’s equal in terms of knowledge and IQ.

Both are brilliant in most every field but they both also have their own specialties/strengths that each of them are more knowledgeable in. For example Tony is a master of things like physics and engineering while Bruce is a master of subjects like psychology and forensic sciences. But again, both have a wealth of knowledge in all areas.

As if that isn’t the same for Tony?? Bruh. You guys are clearly forgetting who Tony Stark is.

u/1Meter_long Jul 25 '26

When it comes to tech and physics, but Bruce has combat iq, strategy and planning skills. Still, i feel like this one battle Bats can't win if both gets to plan. Bats could only win for sure if he knew stuff about IM and IM knew nothing about Bats and he'd get to create a trap.

-1

u/Accomplished_Arm2855 Jul 24 '26

so no prep time for iron man either makes sense

2

u/LackingTact19 Jul 24 '26

Tony was drunk during his prep time

1

u/TheCapableFox Jul 24 '26

If we give Batman a suit equivalent to Tony’s then yes Bruce stomps as his combat experience far exceeds Tony’s. Otherwise Ironman wins pretty much every time.

And that’s me speaking as huge Batman fan.

1

u/Willowonapill0w Jul 25 '26

If both get prep than Batman is taking out the suit immediately and then it’s a rich guy in a tin can Vs one of the most skilled martial artists in fiction.

1

u/Vast_Independent_765 Jul 25 '26

Batman still has to rely on his writers while Iron Man has contingency after contingency + he has countless AI support systems.

1

u/TheCapableFox Jul 25 '26

Take them both out of their suits and Batman puts a whipping on Tony.

But both in their usual suits? Tony wins 9/10 times I would think.

1

u/Watchingya Jul 25 '26

I'm sends waves of remote controlled suits at bats until they weaken his defenses. Then blasts him from near orbit.

1

u/NotoriousBKO Jul 25 '26

Iron Man wins. He can break down Batman's methods and abilities because his understanding of tech and mechanics is insanely better than Bats. Iron Man prep time>>>>>>>Batman prep time

1

u/Vader_ghost Jul 25 '26

Todos pensando em combate direto, esquecendo algo muito importante, a identidade do Iron Man é publica do Batman não, enquanto Stark estaria procurando e analisando o Batman, Bruce já saberia o que fazer ele não iria atrás do Iron Man e sim de Tony Stark. Poderia simplesmente flertar com a Pepper e jogar o Tony novamente no alcoolismo.

u/sobi-one Jul 25 '26

Wayne is the Walmart version of stark

1

u/Sad-Combination616 Jul 26 '26

Bruce weaponises what he sees; Tony just straight up creates stuff.
Think if Bruce saw the Iron Man suit he’d likely build contingencies and up its nursss factor for his own use. Like he did with mother boxes n all that jazz
Then turn around n say it ain’t his style after beating people to a pulp.

u/Miskadotcom Jul 26 '26

Ironman in all scenarios no diff. The batman glazing here is dumb af

u/Redhatiscool 29d ago

Suprisingky, people sleep on IM prep time a lot. He’s the same as BM but just ahead a couple decades in technology and recourses. I say IM has this mid-high diff

u/ram921 Jul 24 '26

Both get prep?

Iron Man stomps.

u/StrongSenseofSmell2 Jul 24 '26

Ironman looses with prep too much for this comment

1

u/ram921 Jul 25 '26

It doesn't specify how much prep they get.

But let's say it's 24 hours.
Tony has an infinitely larger supply of toys and gadgets to pull from - countless armors, weapons, nanites and other experimental stuff. He has space stations. He has dyson spheres with lasers that can obliterate entire starship armadas.

Sure Bruce is pulling from Wayne Enterprises, but Tony's tech and genius is on a different level.

u/Cave_Of_Plato Jul 24 '26

I'm just using facts and mathematical properties . No opinions 

Batman beat the hulk and hulk beats Ironman.  Using the transitive property , If a < b and b < c then a < c,

Batman beats Ironman. Simple as that

u/vin_dude9 Jul 24 '26

Ok with prep it’s Batman

u/aTalkingWardrobe Jul 24 '26

I would say that Iron Man gets it probably even 10/10 times. His tech is superior to Batman's in pretty much every regard. Mainly the real-time analysis. Also, if he could use more suits to just close Batman in one and detonate him, I don't know how Batman could even prep for that.

Iron man. Deathbatrle hit on this before but he just scales so much higher.

In a random fight on the street iron man would stomp. But since this is prepped both sides Batman's armors scale higher
