True...those Marvel vs. DC comics don't really keep to the true powers of both superheroes, most of the time. One of the Superman vs. Hulk matchups had Supes just standing there taking a pounding from the Hulk, and wasn't even flinching.Originally posted by: KevinH

2. Iron man is trained in hand to hand by Captain America so his h2h skills are far superior.
3. There is no way in hell that Batman could even keep up with Iron man.
So if we go to the scorecard Ironman is up 3-0 and takes this one easily.
1. yep, tech wise ironman is faaar superior. bat armor/suit is crap compared to it.
2. captain america and batman are equals in pure physical combat, the only edge cap would have is the super human serum giving him the slight advantage in endurance/stamina. even if stark somehow was the equal of his teacher captain america, he wouldn't be "far superior".
Not to hi-jack since this isn't about Cap but you're severely underestimating his physical prowess.
Don't ask me how I know this but the Super Human Serum allows Cap to dead lift 800 lbs. In terms of raw strength and endurance, he is about the absolute limit and still be considered "human". There was a series of Marvel Handbooks detailing history/strength/powers of all of the Marvel Universe back in the mid 80's. Likewise, the Marvel roleplaying game had his agility pegged right around Spider-man's.
"If" writers were to maintain lore consistency, Captain America is in a whole different physical league than Batman.
If Stark is about equal to Bruce Wayne straight up, then in the Iron Man suit he'd be far superior.Originally posted by: uhohs

edit: of course with extremis, ironman would eventually pwn batman in physical combat as well due to regeneration and the likes. but i'm leaving that out for now.
Exactly....let's say Batman and Iron Man meet, and don't know anything about each other, but for some reason they decide to fight. Okay, Iron Man raises hand, fires a repulsor ray at Batman, game over.Originally posted by: gorcorps
You can't put a person up against a suit like that and expect to win. Iron Man all the way.

Someone beat me to it by mentioning the kryptonite shard for superman, that's how bats wins. By intelligence to study an opponent for weaknesses he comes out on top more often than not in a war.
He would probably end up designing something to neutralise Iron Man's suit, or use his suit's power against him.
One off battle Iron Man would own him though.

There's no debate there. What Bruce would do is research and learn counter-measures to defeat Iron Man. If Iron man were to 'modify' his suit, the process would start over....Originally posted by: Pacfanweb

After being critically injured during a battle with the Extremis-enhanced Mallen, Stark injects his nervous system with a modified techno-organic virus (the Extremis process) that not only saves his life, it gives him the ability to to store the inner layers of the Iron Man armor in the hollows of his bones as well as control it through direct brain impulses. Stark can control the layer of the armor underneath his skin and make it emerge from numerous exit points around his limbs as a gold-colored neural interface under-sheath. While in this form, Stark has technopathic control of the armor and can suit up at any time, calling the larger components to him. Furthermore, the Extremis process has increased his body's recuperative and healing abilities. He is also able to connect remotely to external communications systems such as satellites, cellular phones, and computers throughout the world. Because the armor's operating system is now directly connected to Stark's nervous system, its response time has been significantly improved. Stark also has a "phera-sense" which he gained by using information he garnered from the analysis of Spider-Man's neurophysiology by the "Spider-Armor" Stark gave him and uses this to not only create his own 'spider-sense' but can also neutralize Spider-Man's and create "false positives" in Spider-Man's spider-sense.
