The Russians used a pencil.

Batman, hes more disciplined and has more battlefield expertise that Iron Man. Although Iron Man will most likely outclass him in raw firepower Batman has a knack for thinking around such obstacles and overcoming, especially with prep he gets a psych profile going as well and whatever else he can come up with. Remember, the only reason he's truly been able to stand up to Superman and the only real reason that Tower of Babel was even possible is because Batman knows his friends/enemies psychological weaknesses as well as the physical and Tony Stark has a huge weakness when it comes to a psych profile, something that Batman would exploit and take advantage of for sure.

years =/= week, it doesnt matter how much time he really gets past a certain point, do you think you'd be able to research a better paper paper on hitler if you had a year vs a month? the answer is no,
facepalm

I say that because theres only so much info you can dig up on a person and it wouldn't take Batman a year to draw up a psych profile or any other info on Tony that he'd need to win, i guess my analogy was a poor one, point is that once Bats knows what there is to know about Stark he'll act accordingly; thats what Batman is good at; gathering all the info and formulating a plan of attack and he'd have more than enough on tony to cripple him mentally/physically and emotionally if need be.
