Ever wonder why Batman, a genius, a billionaire, and a vulnerable human, doesn't build himself an exosuit similar to Iron Man's to fight crime?

I would be interested to hear any theories.

He has suits like that.

He used something similar when fighting Scarecrow.

llagrok IS RIGHT HE DOES HAVE SUITS LIKE THAT

Because he doesn't really need it, batman can take down his villains with his martial arts and gadgets..whats the point of learning all that he learnt just to make a suit that wouldn't require you to use martial arts Plus he probably wouldn't be able to in a suit like iron mans

Because Batman figths things like underworld and mafia. Iron man fights monsters and ugly mutants. Besides, there is already a Man of Steel in the DCU.

Because he's stoopid.

Yeah Batman mostly fights thugs in the inner city. Iron man was fighting some insurgents with military equipment and a giant robot.

Because Batman isn't in the business of war.

Batman doesn't accept crutches. He has used such technology in the past when he had absolutely no other choice, but if he can, he tries to remain as self reliant as possible.

So why wear armor, you ask? Simply put, chicks dig it.

Because Iron Man's enemies are on a whole different power scale then Batman's.

Another reason is Bruce Wayne doesn't need to wear armor like Tony Stark's. Unless finally DC wises up and puts Bruce in a new armor type costume

Iron is not an alloy. Steel is. n00b.

Iron and steel, are two completely different alloys, n00b. 131fist Tony might be good compared to a normal human but he's nothing compared to Batman or even Robin for that matter. The reason Batman isn't all armored is that the fans would probably not like it. It wouldn't be Batman. We, comic fans, are averse to such change.

Batman is a street level guy. Tony Stark is a above that, what with all the people wanting to abuse his weapons tech and pining for world domination etc.

His rogue's gallery forces him to wear armor. Batman deals with dangerous seedy types that are into citywide crime, very few on a world wide scale (Ra's al Ghul).

Because a pathetic suit made of tech would only weaken the Batgod.

I kind of liked it when Batman was replaced by Azrael.

Yes, thats probably the best comic book series I've ever read (which isnt too much lol).

Anyway, another point is that Stark is much more wealthier than Wayne.

That is unknown if Tony or Bruce is more richer. Currently Lex Luthor who holds that title. At one time Wilson Fisk was absurdly rich.

Haha! PWN3D! 313

Yeah... I dur'ed myself there.

Batman doesn't use a suit like that because he doesn't have to (there was once or twice where he did wear something like that though..). Tony Stark isn't like Bruce Wayne. Bruce doesn't have to rely on a suit like that because he's been trained and knows what he's doing. He doesn't rely on brute strength. Batman has tact.

And then there's also the fact that Iron Man would solo 90% of Batman's foes in a direct combat with one hand tied behind his back.

They're just on different levels. Batman would need a suit like Tony's if his common enemies were Tony's common enemies. He'd be pretty ****ed if World War Hulk suddently attacked Gotham.

Batman has stood up to beings who would solo all of Ironman's enemies...Point? Granted, they are not always his common enemies like Joker, but he has stood up to them. Toughest dude I can think of who Ironman has stood up to was WWH.

By "standing up to" you surely don't mean he actually engages them in one on one direct combat? Otherwise, your point is irrelevant. I can "stand up" to Shaq, but when he ***** slaps me and I have to go running to Superman and people who are actually equal to him ... it doesn't really matter does it?

Most of iron Man's common enemies would curb all over Batman just as hard as iron Man himself would.

I've always wondered why doesn't use those suit more often myself. It would possibly take away from his character, because let's face it, Batman is more popular than Ironman. Perhaps DC Comics thinks that if Batman is great as he is, why mess with a good thing?

Agree with that as well.

I like Batman more then Iron Man, and I'd be pretty pissed if Bats started doing all of his business in a big hi-tech suit like Tony's.

That's what things like Batman Begins is for.

I know its a cartoon....and i am not sure it carried over to the comics....but Batman beyond showed an aging batman who had a suit which was like fabric....yet was enhancing him, tech fiber or something, so i can actually see bats using such a suit.....form fitting....yet enhancing.....when he reaches the age that he no longer has an edge

Since when?



I've been out of actual reading for a while (few years). But last I read, Wayne Ent. bought out LuthorCorp and left Lex penniless.



I dunno know if I totally agree with this. Maybe because of the fact that he doesn't always physically fight his opponents. But he does deal with very big enemies, that also endanger the whole world.

I just don't think he'd be as effective if he were to have a suit like that. Unless it could be as soft as his current suit so he could still fight. The Batman suit from JLA 1 Million is pretty sick...

The batmobile is enough

Tony Stark is not wealthier than Bruce Wayne.

I LOVE that video and the person who makes them has some other gret ones on there. The one with the Hulk and Batman arguing over if Hulk or Batman and Robin sucked worse is hilarious.

Batman relies on hi-tech equipment when he has to face metahumans who exceed his peak human abilities and usual gadgetry, he has some models of battle suits he keeps, if needed to fight let's say a Superman who is mind controlled or gone rogue or anyway if strictly necessary.Otherwise he'll just prepare at his best for fight turning the odds against his enemies, exploiting their weaknesses in most cases.That's what makes him good to most people, he can make it with lack or real super powers.
