That's a good damn record. I'm sure he has among the best cost models associated with his products as well...which makes a big difference in winning a bid.

Except for one problem. He doesn't make weapons anymore. Only defensive measures that can't be used for offensive aggressive acts. That's Tony's current mantra. His Stark weapons can also be dismantled easily with a killswitch that he has designed into them for when they get out of hand. Something bruce could easily take advantage of.

Wayne wins based on that alone, and yes he is the better business man all around when you compare their companies. Tony is a tad arrogant with his futurist views, Bruce is more of a realist and adapts faster to incoming data while tony needs time to think to create a solution. On the batman ironman front, Ironman tries the screamer attack, bruce turns on sound dampeners in his belt from previous villians that have had similiar powers, or similiar heroes that he has preperations for if they went rogue. While tony would need to create a new device to deal with bruce, bruce would just adapt to what he had on hand to any occasion.

Intelligence isn't always who can create the best new thing, but how you can apply what you do have. Short of the full on armory going after bats, tony doesn't stand a chance, and even with that, batman probably has a signal jammer that'd work with modulation to stop them. Same as he would probably be able to get a computer virus into starks system, possibly even a variation of the same polymorphic one that took down brother eye.
