Batman is a better superhero than Iron Man

Ok let's do this.What my opponent is essentially saying is that if someone is posing a menace to society, it is acceptable to kill them. Following this logic, police officers should be allowed to shoot to kill thieves, jaywalkers, and speeders as they are posing a threat to society.Ok this is a very blatant strawman. I did not say anything about just killing people just because. Iron Man doesn't just slaughter people as you would have the voters believe. In fact in his two films he doesn't kill anything that isn't a robot or actively pointing guns at women and children. Is this murder to you? This broad daylight in a middle eastern village, Batman would have gotten owned if he tried to save these people. His moral stance is ridiculous, and inconsistent. Note at the end of Batman Begins he blows up the train tracks and chooses not to save Ra's Al Ghul. He decided he was too dangerous to live. Yet he refuses to Joker. Joker then brings the city of Gotham to it's knees.My point is very clear. Batman has been a role model for Gotham, showing the people that good is possible in a city like Gotham City, a city that has been condemned by many as a wasteland. Through his position as a role model, he has helped people do good.Has he really? Before Batman all the people of Gotham City had to worry about was Mafia dudes and crooked cops. Because of batman though they have an ancient ninja tribe poisoning them with fear gas, a killer clown who blows up hospitals and puts bombs on boats, and a mercenary with a goddamn nuke!I don’t understand my opponent’s point here. I would invite him to elaborate on how having a complex suit helps him exemplify heroic qualities. Does Batman get the job done? Yes.Barely. For example in TDKR Batman gets destroyed in second by Bane. That allows Bane to take over the city and slaughter an entire football team and trap the entire police force underground. Iron Man would have humiliated Bane and picked up a supermodel on his way home. Now that's heroic!First of all, Bruce Wayne isn’t just some “idiot”. His behavior is just an act to hide the fact that he is Batman. Also, Batman has genius level intellect so he isn’t a complete moron. That's my point. The world sees him as an idiot because he wastes his money instead of doing......I don't know...literally everything else. Again I say Iron Man is working on free unlimited energy with his money, and feeds the hungry in Africa. And he does it as Tony Stark.Yet Bruce Wayne is richer according to Forbes. [1] Furthermore, Bruce Wayne is also a philanthropist. He has funded many projects, built many things for Gotham, and has even donated his mansion to a boy’s home in Gotham.Ok Forbes has no idea what they're talking about. They just put together a random list of characters and assigned them values. Note this was written in 2007, while the first Iron Man film was released in 2008. Give me a break, TDKR specifically says that both Wayne Interprises and Wayne himself are flat broke. Furthermore this is how much it cost to be Batman http://www.buzzfeed.com... this is how much it cost to be Iron Man http://www.geeksaresexy.net...;Big Difference.Is this somehow Batman’s fault? I would invite my opponent to elaborate more on this point.Yes It's his fault! if you think it has the potential to be dangerous, get rid of it! Don't keep it as a trophy!Batman is a great hero but he falls short in comparison with Iron Man. Vote Stark/Rhodes for President 2012!
