Bruce. He's even as good at tech, just doesn't use it often as its not centralized to his character, but destroys him in any other arena of the mind. ;D

I'd say Bruce is all around smarter but is upped by Stark in the engineering, robotics, physics and I.T department.

If they were equal, his armor would've ended the Talons quite easily during the night of owls instead of them having the ability to fight back.

"Building armors to fight crime" is not really Bruce's main interest. Or second. Or third.

Also, he's had better armors than that.

Which armors are you referring to?

leonidas MWHAHAHAHA!

i'd say stark has more tech knowledge at his fingertips than bats (ie tony has a greater depth of tech knowledge readily available to him) but that bats could certainly learn or teach himself anything tony knows. bruce has a far greater breadth of knowledge though and i would say bruce is, in general, the smarter of the 2.

The Insider suit, for one, with whom he was a mini-JLA.

Or the suit he made in S/B to pose as Superman when the later was depowered.

Or even the recent Batman & Robin suit he used, against Terminus.

The insider suit while impressive was borderline useless on prolonged fights due to it's ability cooldown issues so i don't think that would a good example at all.

What made the suit work was Batman himself but any other pilot would deem it a momentary glass canon.

He fought and defeated the Outsiders while inside of it, and didn't want to damage them significantly. It had power faults, sure, but it was a temporary suit, built while he was hiding his existence from everybody. To say "it's not a good example" of a costume better than the one used against the Talons is inaccurate, to say the least.

Batman's Insider Suit was also put down to critical levels by a single punch from Geo-Master. While impressive it still has ALOT of issues.

By that point, he had already used power reserves, and he was running low on it. I already said power faults were present, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a better suit than the one used against the Talons. Also, Geo-Force is ridiculously powerful.

Sorry but still not terribly impressive given the cooldowns and the fact that he bested the team he has insider knowledge on and some rookies.

I would consider a good example to have lesser glaring limitations like the frequency of use of said abilities. You don't see Ironman being limited to 3-4 repulsor blasts with a 10 min cooldown now do you? Or be able to travel mach speeds for a few minute and then wait an hour.

Who is comparing that suit to Iron Man's?

I am but comparing it with older models like modular armor.

Yeah, Bruce can get serious when it comes to tech. Just look at Brother Eye. His best creation yet.

Then tell me when the discussion with yourself is finished, so I can join back in to what's actually discussed.

Brother eye is impressive indeed.

Proof please.

I'm quite sure Tony has built a time machine and has used tech to effectively counteract magic, thats one of Bruce's weaknesses.

If this was ever a prep war, Bruce could use Brother Eye to his advantage and hack/spy to see what Tony is doing.

Haha that's hilarious. Bet you do that everytime you think posting questions you thought was rhetorical got answered.

Anyway you really don't need to respond to my post if you think i wasn't part of the discussion.

You could've began a while ago with not trying to prove the insider suit was impressive cause I refuted it or quoting me at all.

Why didn't somebody say that in the first place? That just ends the debate.
