This vs. thread involves everything that can be argued about the two:
1. Business vs. Business (Stark Enterprises vs. Wayne Enterprises)
2. Knowledge (includes: mathematics, science, physics, chemistry, mechanical know-how)
3. Combat skills (karate, martial arts, stuff like that...)
4. Physical Appearance
5. Luck with women
6. If they played eachother in a chess tournament.....
7. Singing talent
8. Which has a better autograph?!
9. Which has tougher super-villains to fight?
10. Which is a more interesting character to read?
Who has more money? Stark by far. He's one of the richest men in the Marvel world. Which business does better than the other and rakes in more money? Stark
Stark by far. He's a genius. Bruce is more of a detective and analyst.
Bruce. He's on par with captain america.
Tie, unless you prefer the goatee then Stark
Stark is a mega playboy. He's had tons of women.
A game of chess isn't the best way to judge someone by. Tie
They both suck at singing. Tie
8
Who cares that's so trivial, Tie
On a daily basis, Iron Man fights way tougher villains that Batman ever will by himself.
1) I'm not sure which. Too lazy to check.
2) I'd say its a close one... Stark knows all sorts of math and techno stuff, but Bruce knows lots of physics, chemistry, detective stuff...
3) Definilty Bruce
4) Stark needed his suit to live (does he still?) for quite a while. I'm goin with Brucie.
5) Stark has had more, and Bruce's are very rocky. Stark
6) Bruce, he's a master tactician. I doubt Stark is as good as him.
7) Be damned if I know.
8) Be damned if I know.
9) Bruce's villains are much more sinister and devious. Iron man's are more powerful. It depends on how you look at it. Personaly, I say bruce.
10) Bruce. His comics (the good ones) stick to his detective roots, while ironman just flies around and blows crap up.
Stark is one of the richest people on Marvel. He operates on an Intelligence level far far above Bruce. He doesn't need his suit to live. That was a LONG LONG time ago. Stark has had more Women because of his looks and charm. Iron Man's villains may be more powerful than batman's will ever be, but that doesn't mean they are any LESS devious.
"ironman just flies around and blows crap up."
Well, now i know you don't read Iron Man. Go buy some issues and then try to post some more actual facts.
1. Business vs. Business (Stark Enterprises vs. Wayne Enterprises)
Id have to go with Bruce on this one.
2. Knowledge (includes: mathematics, science, physics, chemistry, mechanical know-how)
Stark might know more about math but Bruce has got the all around i mean he had degrese in most of those sections by the time he was 16
3. Combat skills (karate, martial arts, stuff like that...)\
Batman easily
4. Physical Appearance
Batman
5. Luck with women
Stark just because he tries harder than Batman
6. If they played eachother in a chess tournament.....
Batman easily
7. Singing talent
dont know dont care
8. Which has a better autograph?!
prolly Stark
9. Which has tougher super-villains to fight?
Starks might be more powerful but they arent as evil as Batmans
10. Which is a more interesting character to read?
Batman just because he is a classic and he dont have powers so it makes it interesting.
3. Combat skills (karate, martial arts, stuff like that...)
Bruce.
4. Physical Appearance
Tie, I suppose.
5. Luck with women
Stark, imo.
6. If they played eachother in a chess tournament.....
Bats.
7. Singing talent
Stark. With his Iron Man suit he could easily modulate his voice to do a sick Domo Aragato Mr. Roboto.
8. Which has a better autograph?!
Stark
9. Which has tougher super-villains to fight?
Tie.
10. Which is a more interesting character to read?
At the moment Stark, I think. With the troubles in Avengers Disassembled and his own title. Plus he's ousted his secret identity and is Secretary of Defense which lends a nice dimension to the stories.
1. Business vs. Business (Stark Enterprises vs. Wayne Enterprises)
Wayne... You guy do know that Tony has a habbit of loosing his business, don't you. I mean he lost Stark Enterprise and now owns a company called Stark Solutions (or something like that)
When it comes to electronics, mathematics and mechanics then Stark is way ahead in the field, but when it comes to physics, chemistry and such Wayne is ahead, and of course there are other areas of knowledge but for the sake of this discussion Stark manages to win it....
3. Combat skills (karate, martial arts, stuff like that...)
Stark without his armour is not much of a fighter so this goes to Wayne
4. Physical Appearance
As the saying goes "Beauty is in the eyes of the Behoulder"
5. Luck with women
Both Bruce and Stark are known as playboys, and they both have a habbit of falling for the wrong women.
6. If they played eachother in a chess tournament.....
Wayne
7. Singing talent
Stark... Just because you would never catch Wayne singing...
8. Which has a better autograph?!
Ehhhh.... How would anyone know these
9. Which has tougher super-villains to fight?
In terms of pure strength, Stark (what do you expect he wears a suit of Iron)... But since we are not talking about pure strength I will go for Wayne, because he has to deal with physco's who would kill thier own mother at the drop of a hat....
10. Which is a more interesting character to read?
Stark, mainly because he has gone through a lot of changes lately...
All in all Wayne wins it with a very small margin but since most of the questions are a close call and would depend on personal prefrences it could go either way....
Stark does loose his businesses (three times I think) but EVERY TIME he recovered and re-built it up to a world-wide contender EVERY TIME too, he also inherited the first Stark Industries when he was 21 and expanded it. Plus, Stark himself invented most (if not all) of the technology that makes up Stark Enterprises (I actually think it's Stark International now), while Bruce Wayne hires people to invent stuff.

It says TOUGHER super-villains - not more evil. Bat villains are mostly mere humans. Punisher style would take out most of them. They're evil and all - but you can still snipe their f#cken head right off. Iron Man villains are super powered guys that can take grenades and bullets with ease, try killing one of them if you had to.

Definately Stark. It says women - Robin doesn't count.
6. If they played eachother in a chess tournament.....
Bruce
7. Singing talent
Tie
8. Which has a better autograph?!
Tie
9. Which has tougher super-villains to fight?
Starks. Easier to kill Bat villains than IM villains.
10. Which is a more interesting character to read?
Iron Man.
No, it said tougher to fight. Starks villains are stronger, but since Iron Man is also stronger than Batman, it doesn't follow that his villains are tougher for him.

The only reason Stark is such a success when it comes to business is that he is a great inventor. The fact that he keeps loosing his business just shows how bad he is at managing his business. One thing I could never figure out is how he has kept his patent on the Iron man suit when it is owned by his company and he has lost the company to others so many times...
P.S. I always thought that it was a bit stupid the way that Stark looses his business and somehow manages to build a new business that is as big (if not bigger) than his old business in just a few months. It just makes the whole story of him loosing his business pointless...
Tougher does not mean stronger either... Punisher can also snipe Iron Man's villans, all he needs is adamantium or antimetal tipped bullets and they will be dropping faster than ducks in hunting season... The fact of the matter is that with the right weapons Iron Man's villans can be defeated easier than Batman's villans. Batman's villans very rearly go for a straight on attack which is what makes them tougher to deal with...

That is the most racist comment i've read on a comic book forum. You've totally lost all credibility.
Tony Stark is a multibillionaire american industrialist and lets not forget THE AMERICAN SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. He meets and deals with more American figure heads on a daily basis than you will in your entire life.
