Why Batman And Ironman Would Absolutely HATE Each Other

[@KiwiTheRetroGal]

*"Iron Man sucks"* _-Lego Batman, who canonically has that as his password_

[@colereed7411]

Because batman is too dumb to make a better suit

[@Cri_Jackal]

Iron Man's choice to refuse any access to his technology by any government, maintaining a policy of keeping his weapons outside the hands of war, and never trading with any military, would the the thing that would hang in Batman's mind when judging Tony's character.

[@goldjaw]

If we put them in the same world, we’d have to consider the past the two would have. Tony Stark crashing Gotham Balls and Galas and getting smashed, trying to get in with Bruce until he’s captured by the Ten Rings. This could color Bruce’s idea of him.

[@Cri_Jackal]

@@goldjaw The sudden shift in behavior and morals, after going missing for several months in the war ridden Middle East (or Vietnam [or Sin-Cong] depending on the continuity), would absolutely tell Bruce all he needs to know: Tony went through a life changing experience that recontextualized his entire relationship with the world and its problems, prompting him to pull his company out of all unethical ventures, and take up arms as an active combatant against threats to mankind, pooling his resources toward improving the world and no longer actually giving a damn about profits for profit's sake. That is almost an exact mirror of Bruce Wayne's course of action after his parents's deaths.

[@laskkoovisualz793]

Batman did the samething with the justice league!

[@NightWing1800]

I think Batman would intellectually understand that Tony is a hero and is doing good things and would approve of some things, but they are just people so fundamentally different that they wouldn't be close friends. I think Bruce would dislike Tony as a person, respect the way he has clearly changed as a person and has put his family's business towards more noble ends, but still dislike working with him and wouldn't want to do it outside of the big global events.

[@SorakuFett]

@@NightWing1800 Exactly. There are many Leaguers, hell, most of the Green Lanterns (except for Simon and Jessica), that Batman trusts, he knows they're good, he knows what they believe in, but he *still* doesn't like them *as people.* Tony would be no different, even is Bruce would understand and empathize with him very well, Tony's just too grating of a human being for *most* people, let alone Bruce.

[@roseoliveira6709]

Knowing how petty both are, their fights would be like 20% actual brawls and 80% trying to one up eachother like: BM: stark, how is going?

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

Why? I think Stark and Batman would agree on almost anything. They are very pragmatic. The only point of contention would be Batman is technically a criminal. But if he was part of an organisation, that would no longer be the case. Stark and Batman are way more similar than Stark and Captain America for one

[@benginaldclocker2891]

too bad Marvel and DC decided to make Batman fight Wolverine. They even fused to become the Dark Claw in the Amalgam universe.

[@TheZamaron]

@@mcmarkmarkson7115 Yah it just comes down to ego and social interaction. Both are dedicated heroes and good caring people. It's just that Tony doesn't have 2 identities, Iron Man is his hero name but he and Tony Stark are completely the same person, vs Batman who's identity isn't publically known, and thus despite being the same person, Bruce Wayne and Batman asre still 2 different personas. Bruce is just purposly made to be a typical egotistical rich philanthopist and non sexual lady's man and social, while Batman is barely social aside from the necessities and a few genuine friendships he lightens up a little with, but Batman is constantly keeping his dark and brooding mood to terrify his enemies. Tony is also more egotistic, arrogant, reckless, and open to people, but still keeps his most important things closly guarded like his tech. Overall it comes with different risks. Batman is slower to react to dangers as Bruce Wayne as he needs to change, vs Tony being publically known as Iron Man can near instantly suit up depending on the kind of suit he has at the time, but Tony's more public identity means his villains are more likely to target the people he personally connects to, while Batman's enemies as long as they think he and Bruce are seperate will only try and go after one of them for different reasons.

[@GokuBlackRose978]

They probably wouldn’t like each other but professionally keep the beef away from work. For the most part

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

When did stark ever hate a super hero of high intellect? He would love Batman, they would banter and tease each other sure, but hate? Never. There is nothing about Batman Stark could truly hate. They even have similar "lost their family" trauma to share.

[@peterhacke6317]

[@ianyoder2537]

Really their status and intelligence are the only things they have in common. Just look at their fighting stiles. Batman's a literal ninja. Stealth, subterfuge, infiltration, investigation, psychological warfare, defeat in detail, hand to hand combat, those are batman's skills. Iron Man on the other hand is more like a flying artillery battery. Full speed ahead, bursting in all guns biasing (sometimes literally) and if that doesn't work it's because he's not using the right caliber. Even their contingency plans to beat the members of their own team couldn't be more different. Batman's plans differ greatly for each team member, exploiting different aspects including psychological weaknesses. Often to the point that some of his contingency plans hinge entirely on that psychological weakness. Iron Man however just builds a specialized suit with specific armor and weapons to deal with each member of the avengers.

[@Flvtchrr]

It would work. Iron man takes the attention. Batman gets all the stealth easier

[@zettovii1367]

Think Iron Man's heroic side is majorily understated here. Like sure, compared to Batman, Tony Stark is far more of a loose canon, and has instances of being a bratty businessman, not too distinct from Booster Gold, whenever his paranoia hasnt gotten the better of him, and he ends up on the opposite end of trying to "put an armor over the world for the sake of controlling chaos that has gone out of hand... But the Red and Gold Avenger isnt just his mistakes, he has actively used his wealth to improve the world, he has gone out of his way of dismantling war profiteers, he has even teamed up with the X-men for the sake of helping mutants in recent stories, and has likewise formed a bond with Captain America as well as Spiderman because despite it all, he has a good heart. Now sure, I do imagine Tony and Bruce could end up having a lot of banter with each other, but dont think they necessarily would become estranged enemies or the like.... Because even the Batman has gone through similar arcs of wanting to enforce more control over the super heroes after some mahor problems, as well as building counter measures to everyone, including friends. Plus Bruce do have moments where he can appreciate humor, even if he doesnt always admit it. Bruce and Tony would just have a rivalry more than anything, probably with a "funny man & straight man" kinda dynamic in any moment outside Marvel's edgy civil war phases.

[@TheZamaron]

Yah, Bruce and Clark get along very well, and when not in their hero identities Bruce will lighten up quite abit, but as Batman he doesn't lighten up much, but Clark by now knows him well enough to guess Batman's probably laughing internally, or sees a slight smile, somethign he'd never do around villains as he knows he can relax a bit around other trusted heroes like Clark and Diana. Simply put, Batman's the kind of guy who keeps his emotions mostly under control, he's analytical and calculating, paranoid to a degree, but he's kind, friendly, and when he needs to be will lighten up such as if a child is scared or crying he'll drop the scary Batman act and let out a bit more softness.

I think that Ironman and his suit around the world and Batman and his contingencies would vibe very well together. Take the Ironman when Bendis was writing Avengers from Breakout through Secret Invasion where he was constantly collaborating with Reed and Hank Pym, and the Batman from the era around Tower of Bable. I could see them being frenemies always wanting to make the world a better place, but not knowing exactly wanting everyone to know the exact tactic, tech, or method. Meanwhile they would have a friendly rivalry where they wouldn't want the other to know the secrets. Also I think Ironman could really reverse engineer and track Bat Tech / Wayne Industires easier than Harold Allnut or Lucious Fox could reverse engineer and track Stark Tech. Because Wayne Industires is the heavy lifter for Batman's gadgets while Tony Stark is the driving force of Ironman.

On the other side, he would be against the government having control of where the Avengers can go. I think he would maybe try to get the attention of both sides in Marvel Civil War to see you all can be a great asset to your world or the weapons that destroy your world with what many of you can do and you need to help keep each other accountable.

So tired of the billionaire playboy philanthropist thing that's not what he is it's just a very small fraction in reality Tony Stark is a intergalactic genetically bred super genius given the role of expanding and accelerating human technological capacity while dealing with extreme levels of more human tendencies to self-destruct albeit for good or bad reasons intentionally or not. The Batman-Iron Man comparisons start and end with rich white famous/infamous superhero. Tony is capable of thinking on a cosmic scale to comprehend alien space tech and casually able to punch up to beings like Thor, Hulk, or the gd Phoenix Force it's fucking self(ended up literally splitting it). Batman shot Darkseid with a cool gun one time they aren't on the same level and Lex is/has always been a better match up. Bruce has WAY more in common internally with Reed than Tony and he would definitely be friends/Respect Richards just as he holds J'onn J'onzz to such a high regard enough to nominate him leader of the JL 3 completely separate times.

There's zero chance for Bruce to like Tony before he becomes Ironman.

However I think they'd become begrudging allies once Tony starts proving himself to actually be a hero.

[@fobo3361]

Honestly kinda prefer when Bruce Wayne isn't just a persona, it feels so shallow when you boil it down to that, there's a line from arkham knight where you can find a voice mail from Viki Vale where she speaks very affectionately to him, saying she misses him, and calling him by a nickname, she cares about him, this isn't just some fling, it alludes to this softer more human side of Bruce that we dont really see anywhere else, apart he has to hide, and surpress inorder to do what he does and only really sees the light of day on quick nights that he cant even fully commit himself to because if he does he may not be able to subject himself to the torture he does every night, being batman is a sacrifice, and the rare occasion he gets to be a playboy are one of his only forms of relief from it, i think people try writing out the human aspects of batman far too often for cool factor, and while im all for the rule of cool, i think it goes too far when you say "bruce wayne's the real mask", it takes a character with dimensions, and boils him down to two sides, fake and real, all the potential that could be explored with the human side of bruce is just completely discarded, its like the whole "this is the moment walter white became heisenberg meme" all over again, this weird obession with seperating a complex human character into two "sides" I just dont get it

[@theresidentteacher2438]

Bruce would see Tony as Absolutely INSUFFERABLE. Tony would secretly HATE Bruce's "so-called Code of Righteousness". Bruce would see Tony as Reckless and Impulsive. Tony would see Bruce as too Meticulous and Methodical. Tony IS the Situation, Bruce CONTROLS the Situation.

Batman hates guns. Iron Man is literally a walking gun. Bruce and Tony would most definitely not get along. Batman would admire Cap though as he’s basically Marvel’s Superman in terms of personality and ideals and there’s no one Bruce respects more than Clark.

I think Dick and Peter would love eachother, but Bruce probably wouldn't be thrilled about working with him ever though he'd respect him as a hero and like him as a person. Quipy joke man tends not to be Bruce's preference in a partner even when he respects their abilities. It's kind of like him working with Flash or Plastic Man where he's like "I know you're good at what you do and are a great hero and person, but we do things a certain way here in Gotham and you're not the right flavor of hero for that."

[@cody3504]

Both billionaire playboys and want to avenge their parents murders in some way Batman chooses to never kill unless his back is against the wall while Iron man shamelessly murders his enemies. I could see this causing friction in their relationship however if Batman can work with Red Hood it’s almost the same dynamic. Red Hood is also extremely intelligent and can track down Batman without all of his gadgets but he knows everything about him so essentially you just get another Damian Wayne and Jason Todd pair up. Edit: Also assuming Batman teamed up with the Justice League maybe 5-10 years after he returned to Gotham to become Batman I don’t see any issues with him having trouble staying in contact with Iron Man as long as they interact every so often Batman keeps track and notes on every member of the JLA I bet if Tony Stark existed he’d investigate him like he did with Superman when he bought the daily planet and became Clarks boss. Bruce is so insecure it wouldn’t surprise me if he found a way to blackmail Tony just for existing on the same planet as him and for their different viewpoints and I could see Tony Stark doing the same thing as well as with never trusting each other and every time they meet they each have something they can use against each other

[@belmontzar]

Tony Stark is the Batman that never lost his family. He is happy, loved, has a wide support group around him and colleagues who actively respect his advice and assistance despite being a man without powers. Batman is the Tony Stark who lost everything. He is alone, yet has the most loyal companions possible, as only those TRUELY worthy of trust are at his side. He is respected by The Justive league and his foes for what he has done and accomplished.. but that Cold and calculating persona Will always lead to worry and skepticisim... he is feared greatly despite being a man without powers. the men would see eachother in their gazes.. reflections of who they at one time wanted to be, and who they could have been as they stand across from eachother. Unfortunatly... Despite his focus on having a plan for every occasion... Tony's brighter side and trust in others is what would win out. Ironman almost always has someone watching his back because he has alot of friends.. Batman, is almost always alone because no one wants to bother him when hes working. SURE both of them can lead their super hero teams to battle... But for Batman the moment a plan falls over, his squad is toasted... As for Ironman... he doesn't bother with a plan.. he just trusts his pals to do what needs to be done.

Also Wayne only partners with Gotham PD and local Government. Stark is more federal. Batman as we know distrusts the Feds. I.e Amanda Waller.

He went through a whole arc where he tried to be Batman 24/7 and basically went into denial, not bothering to clear his own name when he got framed for murder. I think it’s still a very important narrative for the Batman mythos and any future adaptations of the character to explore.

@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba I think you hit the issue on the head here when it comes to people arguing about this. People hear "Bruce is the mask" and conflate the false playboy Bruce and the real traumatized child Bruce _within_ Batman together without realizing. What people actually mean when they say that is that the real Bruce Wayne is the kind and driven personality he shows as Batman, understanding to the unfortunate, steadfast against crooks, with the playboy Bruce Wayne being the mask. Batman is who the real Bruce decided he is, he still considers Bruce Wayne to be his name, but "Batman" is his _"real"_ name.

This only becomes an interesting relationship if Stark learns that Bruce Wayne is Batman. But then it becomes *very* interesting.

He would recognize that Batman is exactly who *he* would have become had his parents been murdered, not when he was already a young man, but when he was a child. Meanwhile, Bruce would see in Tony a version of some of the wounded people who had turned into villains - Harvey Dent, or Victor Freeze - who actually did become a good guy. Now throw in another dimension: Thomas Wayne and Howard Stark would probably have disliked each other intensely, and their sons would know it.

I feel like you didn't touch on one other difference between the two: Compassion. Tony often has to learn how to be compassionate and care for others as his story goes on, with that side combating his ego. Bruce has shown time and time again that he is compassionate. He does care. The moment with Ace at the end of Justice League Unlimited, or Natalia in "Nocture" from "Caped Crusader," or the episode "The Underdwelers" from BTAS are the best examples of Bruce's compassion. The Dark Knight cares the most deeply for others.
