Who would win in a battle of the billionaire playboys?
Bruce Wayne vs Tony Stark? When Wayne Tech and Stark Industries both make bids on the same development contracts which billionaire playboy who moonlights as a masked crime fighter will be able to lead his company to success? And what happens when their battle of industrial espionage allows rival corporations Lexcorp and Oscorp to make their own bids. The stakes are high, and you'll decide the outcome...

By my reckoning, Tony Stark would have a plan for any threat Batman could throw at him... But then again, Bruce Wayne would have exactly the same.
I reckon it'd be a stalemate until a villain tries to take advantage of their squabbling, and they team up.

Bruce Wayne.
Not without trouble, but Batman would eventually knock out Ironman. Stark is a better business man and CEO, but then he cares more about that than Wayne does. But when it comes to alter egos, the Bat can beat Superman. Ironman isn't much of a challenge after that.

I think it would be close. I think Stark is portrayed as being more intelligent than Wayne but Bruce is more knowledgeable when it comes to "street smarts".

I think Iron Man is a good inventor, but Bat Man is just way smarter.
He's an excellent tactician, inventor, and the world's greatest detective. Bat Man > everything else

yeh id say batman, as he is more dedicated to crime fighting and has been most of his life. he has vast experience, intelligence, and fighting prowess and thats all been honed.
stark is very intelligent but just isnt as driven as batman so i think batman could have him.

Reputation along with financial backing would decide who would pull the contract. Most likely Bruce Wayne according to "statistics":
According to Forbes 25 largest fictional companies Wayne Enterprises had an estimated sales of $31.3 billion. According to Forbes 25 largest fictional companies Stark Industries had an estimated sales of $20.3 billion Stark Industries focuses mainly on weapons development, while Wayne Enterprises produces many products from pharmaceuticals to weapons. Both companies hold many government contracts. According to Forbes Richest Fictional Characters, Bruce Wayne is worth 7 billion. Tony Stark is worth 6 billion.

Bruce Wayne hands down. Too many valid points already listed. Don't really wish to re-illiterate any of it. He's more dedicated to fighting crime. Doesn't worry much about Wayne Industries as it does well with those he has running the company.

I like ironman more than batman, but story-wise it's quite simple.
Bruce Wayne can out strategize stark in every way, especially on the business standpoint. When it comes to Ironman vs Batman, Batman would just upload a virus to ironman and lock up the suit. IronMan within a day of fighting batman would become the IronPaperweight. Both are geniuses, both have ungodly amounts of money and can invent stuff, but only one is batman. While Stark has spent decades fighting for control of his company, and just trying to outsmart chairman members or get his company back, or give up and start a new company, Bruce Wayne has always been on the cutting edge of the business room floor, and can outmaneuver any attempt within a day to take his company over. Bruce Wayne is the better business man. Stark bemoans the business politics and has to rely on his arrogance, base knowledge of business and stocks, or even just his inventiveness for new products. Bruce Wayne on the other hand, makes smart investments, and has his own company under clear control to the point he can take care of the board much faster and more eloquently and subtle than stark ever could. Even with his public persona, he dominates in business matters. Plus he's batman, and you just can't beat batman, cause he's batman. This is coming from an IronMan fanboy even.

Bruce Wayne, hands down. Ironman's a douche, especially ever since Robert Downey Jr played him.

What if the contract both Stark and Wayne were after was strictly weapons based, like a Star Wars type dfense satelite intended to protect a friendly country from a possible terrorist strike from say Kandaq or Latveria, or both?
Wouldn't Stark's expertise in weapons manufactoring give Stark Industries an edge over Wayne Tech? Plus Wayne's secret funding of vigilante activities which wasn't revealed until recently could hurt his credibility. Sure Tony kept that he was Iron Man secret, but everyone knew he was on the payrol.

I'm going to throw my vote in for Wayne. Iron Man is awesome and Tony Stark is a smart guy, but Batman is always one step ahead (what with being the worlds greatest detective and all). Even if Stark has more money, what great gadgets and weapons that they each might use can $9 billion buy that $6 billion can't?

Wouldnt it also depend on what exactly the contract is for? Isnt Tony Stark's weapon and armor technology much more advanced than Bruce Wayne's?

I don't think anyone could have a chance against Bruce these days, as much as he's been built up. The man's practically infallable now, when only a decade ago Bane broke the man's back. How can anyone have a serious debate when it involves fictional characters, especially super heroes from comic books?
Sure, Bruce has all sorts of contingency plans for the JLA/U and the villains he regularly faces, but he's never dealt with IM or his armor before. How could he possibly figure out how to upload a virus into the IM suit when he has no idea how its tech works (and don't give me that BS that he can "figure it out because he's the world's greatest detective." Plus, Tony is mentally linked to the suit's controls. So that puts his genius IQ and nack for inventing things at the helm. And whatever he may lack in strategy and fighting skills, he could just download straight into his brain, like the Matrix. It also gives him a weakness, but something I'm sure he's already thought of and prepared for. And for all Bruce's formidable skills, he is still human. Bullet to the head and he drops, same as every other normal man. Of course, same thing sort of applies to Tony, though his suit's nanotech might be able to save him. In the end, I think they would both have a much better time of taking over LexCorp and OsCorp together. Oh and since this involves both DC and Marvel and it's not about toys, off to the General Discussion forum we go.

I think so.
If the contract was for weapons tech than Stark would get it. Plus, Bruce Wayne's recently exposed secret funding of Batman should hurt his credability.

After reading everyones comments. Bruce Wayne is obviously the fan favorite, so I went with Stark. In this case, technology makes the man, and Stark IS Iron Man. As for Batman being able to beat Superman, well if Kryptonite was available in the Marvel Universe, I am more then certain that Iron Man could take out Superman 100x faster than Batman.

If Wayne Tech and Stark Industries were after the same contract Batman and Iron Man would likely come to blows.

If it was anything with weaponry then I say Stark wins. Anything else than Batman probably has the edge. In terms of fighting then I dont see how Batman has any chance. Superheroes like Batman/Captain America get too much credit when they are ordinary/enhanced humans and would easily get destroyed by other actual superheroes with powers.

Batman has trained to mentally and physically adapt to dangerous situations, and Iron Man has a cool robot that he wears like a suit. I've seen Batman short circuit suits and robots like that plenty of times (read Under The Hood) so it isn't completely unlikely that he would just even the odds somehow and kick Stark's ass once the suit was deactivated. I could see Stark drunkenly peeing on the Batmobile while Bruce was busy buying tights for Robin (sorry, obvious gay joke) and he'd fuck him up when he returned to his vehicle. Plus, they basically play the same role, just in different universes (DC vs. Marvel).

He's just a guy with a suit. Batman doesn't need the whole suit, he just needs the belt.

Tony Stark- hands down.
Tony's the real dead while "bruce wayne" is a fraud that Batman uses. Bruce Wayne (publicly) is a spoiled and not too bright diletante that leaves things up to Lucius Fox to handle while Tony needs no pretense- no excuses or cover. No hiding or deception- he's always ready to go, and dont care who knows it. Also, Bruce plays the ladies man but always finds some reason to sneak away and be with his underage partner while Tony hooks up all the damn time. If they're bidding for something owned by a woman executive, it's a forgone conclusion that Tony will have it all. Smarts to smarts, It's Tony over Bruce for technical matters and they're about tied for shady tactics, but Bruce is by far the better hand to hand fighter. Bruce has a grim determination that only an obsessive compulsive can achieve while Tony has a cold resolve that once allowed him to blow his own heel off to get free and then fought the Mandarin in an old suit of armor! Also, Tony, if it's required, will kill some ass if t means saving lives- Bruce cant do that (and the Joker's victims hate him from the afterlife). If it's a throwdown, it'll be a matter of range- if IM gets airborne, it's over- if Bruce manages to make it a brawl, he wins. I'd love to see Bruce fight Osborn and Stark nail Luthor....(and then he'd "nail" Barbara and Selena and Talia and..) Quote:
And the new armor is inside of him (somehow- Pym Particles?)! as to team ups, personality-wise, I think Rhodey is a better match for Bruce....and of Bruce had the IM2.0 (War Machine's current suit) Gotham would be crime free in days! Last edited by Jason Abbadon; 10-12-2011 at 01:38 PM.. |
