BTW Reed with Prep makes Batman look like a mentally deficient 7 year old on life support. There is no comparison really. Well there is some... but not much more.
And that off the top of his head without missing a beat he knows facts like the deities of an all but lost culture that worldwide combined couldn't even compose a small city. That's just one example.

It's always difficult to pick the smarter person. They both have feats to support who's smarter. They are both among the top 10 smartest people in their universe's Earth. I think Batman has the edge in overall expertise across a broader range. Stark is more of an accomplished engineer.
Well if we are talking potential for knowledge, Tony wins. He naturally learns faster imo. Granted his field is more in robotics and such, but I figured thats because he lacks the motivation or need to expand. How often do people come to him with a genetics problem?
bruce is smarter IMO.......ironman has more of a technical skill in engineering and great understanding of it, but is not at par when it comes to simply having a broad spectrum of knowledge
They have different kinds of intelligence. Batman is more like an improviser, he learns what he needs to to do what he needs to. Iron Man stays in his field.
depends on what kind of smarts youre talking about; engineering and building weapons Tony is smarter hands down, everything else Bruce is smarter, the guys a polymath; genius in most, if not all fields applicable to modern science and technology and even in the areas where Tony is smarter Bruce is no slouch by any means so I have to give the "smartest" award to Bruce overall.

Batman comes up with the solution to the threat, Stark just executes them with his engineering? Even if I spent the time coming up with the 101 reasons why I think that's completely wrong, doesn't that opinion strike anyone else as a rather myopic over-generalization?
I mean, just consider threats and solutions on the macro scale. What solutions does Batman ever come up with when the DC Multiverse is being threatened? Answer: jack and sh1t.
Bruce has essentially been a non-factor every time.
What solutions does Stark come up with when the Marvel Multiverse is being threatened? Answer: read Time Runs Out.
And I think it speaks a great deal to Tony's intelligence that among all of Marvel Earth's geniuses, he's the only one who intuited and grasped upon the cold truth of the matter from the start.
Sure they each have their specialties. But frankly one operates on a scale far beyond the other.
Howard Gardner came up with the idea of multiple types of intelligence, there are 9 such as logical, verbal, intrapersonal. Out of 9 types of intelligence I'd say that Bruce has the advantage over Tony. I'd say that he's a bit smarter overall and more valuable to the superhero community than Tony is, he also advantages such as an eidetic memory that Tony lacks.
