Batman or IronMan?

[Rhyno17]

Mm. IMDb is... ugh. I'd rather discuss films here. :dunno:

GameFaqs has it's issues too, but the comic board at least used to be good. Had an account there for over a decade, but rarely use it anymore. Sometimes though...

Oh, and...



By the way, I believe excellent places as follows...

Shift-0 (0) -> Feeble (2) -> Poor (4) -> Typical (6) -> Good (10) -> Excellent (20) -> Remarkable (30) -> Incredible (40) -> Amazing (50) -> Monstrous (75) -> Unearthly (100) -> Shit-X (150) -> Shift-Y (200) -> Shift-Z (500) -> Class 1000 (1000) -> Class 3000 (3000) -> Class 5000 (5000) -> Beyond (∞).

Captain America and Batman would be, like, Amazing... three full tiers above excellent!

Lmao!! Not to derail the thread, but you know who I really hate and they are the blandest hero ever and thank fuck they rarely show up. Karate Kid! Possibly the best martial artist in the DCU and possibly one of the worst characters.

And for some reason your Batman and Captain America sentence comes up in my post when I quote you, but not in your original post lol

Karate Kid never really showed up on my radar. When I was reading DC it was mostly Green Lantern, Batman, and Superman and he was never much in any of them. Tossed DC back when DiDio pissed my off (so long ago I don't even recall over what now). Tossed Marvel after JoeQ handed Exiles to Claremont and shit all over everything with OMD and Civil War, then came back when Parker got Exiles and left again when it was sacked after a handful of issues. Oh, and I totally want to punch JoeQ in the face. I'm something of a pacifist, so that's an achievement on his part.

It was a quick edit I stuffed in. Forgot the entire point of the joke, which probably only about six people would get anyway... :1orglaugh

Well you're lucky you got to avoid him! There are characters I don't like, but they can work in a particular story (like Pied Piper and Trickster in Countdown). However, he is absolutely useless.

Look at the bright side... could be Marvel, where instead of occasionally stuffing characters you hate into books you like they could spend a fair amount of time taking characters you like and try to find ways to make you hate them. :dunno:

Like the "awesome" Spider-Man, Spider-God retcon thing lol

I think they've (thankfully) forgotten about that. I mean, they gave him Wolverine "stingers"... spiders don't even have stingers. Really, Spider-man has had a lot of lousy editorial decisions forced on him. The clone saga (though that did result in the Scarlet Spider which everyone liked, but then they killed him so... :dunno, the Civil War unmasking, OMD and everything that stemmed there. Most, if not all of it, stems from JoeQ. I swear to God he fucks up everything. He's an okay artist, and I'll admit he's got a decent mind for (exploitative) business, but Goddamn they need to keep that boy from making creative decisions. Luckily he's failed his way up out of the EiC chair, and I'm hoping he'll have less say in the creative direction of the books in the future.

 

[himperv203]

there is a dark side to bat man that I like more.

 

[HeroOfTime]

I would have to go with The Caped Crusader.

 

[MILF Man]

Batman

 

[STDiva]

Batman is the better character but Iron Man would woop him in a fight. I don't buy into this Batman always win bs. Put them in an arena and let them fight. Batman loses easily.

Neither have super powers, they're just rich dudes with a bunch of expensive weapons that don't really exist. I guess Iron Man wins because he has the even more expensive shit.

Depending...I'd say the Batwing is pretty damn expensive lol. Batman wins with prep time (Ironman flies towards him, Batman smiles and drop an Iron Man suit busting explosive and fades away). Without prep time, yeah, it'd be pretty hard for Batman to punch through metal.

 

[espnaddict]

Batman struggles to beat demented criminals with no special abilities. Iron Man could just blast Batman's vehicles to pieces then he is no match for a flying, super-powered suit.

 

[Rhyno17]

Batman went toe to toe with Darkseid and hurt him (and Iron Man cannot be compared to Darkseid)...'nuff said. Of course he went down after, but still.

 

[UnderBro]

Batman is more cooler than Iron Man.

 

[Elwood70]

I bet Tony Stark is more fun to drink with. Batman's cool and all, but he seems so......damaged...

 

[D-rock]

Batman. Tony might be smarter, but Bruce is more clever.

However the most important thing that makes Batman better than Iron Man (and everybody else) is that he gets way more plot immunity and ridiculous contrivances within all the stories that make him win than any other character in the history of comics.

Basically Batman always wins because the authors say so. It might be logically nonsensical, but that's the way it is. That's his real superpower. :1orglaugh He just gets away with it where almost nobody else could because he very well might be the greatest comic character ever created.

 

[UnderBro]

Batman or Iron Man. Let's hear what they have to say for themselves.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

Robert Downey made Iron Man cool. This pool before 5 years ago would have had Batman winning in a landslide.

 

[IncomingTease]

I love me some legendary Batman
