Ironman vs Batman

I gladly accept, good luck defending Ironman Pro. So let us look to the reasons that batmam would win in a fight against Stark. We first need to note the there are a pantheon of batmen and ironmen in existence. I assume that we will both be referencing the most well known reincarnations in the recent movies and films but allowed to use all exampleswithin reason. So we are going to look to the following contentions. 1.Pro assumed points 2.Secret identity 3.Battle location 4. Weapons and tech Contention 1 The pro assumes some claims about batman that simply don't hold true at all. So let us look briefly to the flaws he stated. First we see the claim that Batman is afraid of bats which may be true if a 6 yr old Bruce Wayne was fighting but after Wayne takes the mantle of the bat upon himself he accepts what he accepts his fear, comes to terms, and then uses the symbol. Second he says he is extremely paranoid with no trust....not true at all, he trusts his butler, a orphaned circus child, and a tech worker from his company with his identity. (they all sound like the close family you share secrets with). Third his unbalanced anger, which I think Pro derives from one scene based around the joker blowing up rachel with a bomb....well she is dead, and unless there is another example it proves false. Finally that he is not willing to kill. One could propose this however, please enjoy http://quickstopentertainment.com... , http://quickstopentertainment.com... , http://www.nintendorks.com... , http://i45.photobucket.com... , oh and he killed dracula, as in the vampire....yeah, look it up. Contention 2 : secret identity This fight would never even occur for one very important factor. Tony Stark declared who he was on the public media and news whereas Batman still has his identity hidden. Batman could simply look up stark enterprise and kill him at night, or with poison, or crash the bat car and or jet into him remotely. Contention 3: battlefield Batman gains an automatic edge here. When we look to where they would fight there is two things to recognize. The fact that batman only goes out at night time and the fact that he only commutes around Gotham. Ironman would have to go to the city, at night, in the dark to fight. Gotham is the dark nights home and he knows the city combined with a suit made to blend into the night. Iron man could be seen and heard miles away. His armor added to the light of a car would be blinding and just think about sneaking around while wearing a 200 plus pound metal suit. Contention 4: Weapons and Tech Iron man may exhibit more powerful technology but in the end it is all useless. Now why is that? tank busters and lazers and flight, how could he ever lose? The highly sophisticated targeting system could surely lock onto.....oh wait... it is at night time and it is never expressed that Iron man has any sort of night or thermal vision. Batman on the other hand has night vision,thermal vision,sonic location, and radar (yeah, another flaw with the whole metal suit concept). A. bat-arangs - are effective as they have proven to be capable of sticking into metal and carrying either an explosive or cryogenic charge. Also they can have steel cables strong enough to bind up ironman. B. tear gas and knock out gas - batmans utility belt carries a number of canisters and containing potent gasses and no such filtration system is presented as part of the construction of the iron man suit. C. Sonic bat storm - even if iron man was able to use thermal or night vision we can look to the sonic emitter device in batman begins that causes a swarm of bats to flood a building masking the movements of the dark knight. D.Grapling hook - this could be used for multiple uses, travel , wrapping up iron man, or just shooting a giant hook straight into his chest. E. smoke bombs- evasiveness +1 F. blade arm guard - as seen in the dark knight the fore arm pad of batmans armor can shoot out 3 blades as well as work as climbing spikes and weapon breakers. G. environmental weapon - batman is trained in over 127 martial arts formats that are deadly and even more he is a master with all weapons. (guns included) H. the bat jet - is armed with machine guns, missles, and more importantly can be operated by remote control. I. the bat mobile - is armed with grenade launchers and the ability to go into rapid accleration boost and can be remotly controlled. So after all of these weapons and eamples Pro needs to prove what iron man has that gives and advantage. Also, that suit is not indestructible. After being shot by a US jet fighter machine gun in Iron man (I) the suit is damaged and difficult for stark to take off once home. Also when fighting war machine his suit is damaged by unguided chain gun fire and a huge flaw. His battery runs out and the altitudes freeze his suit up. Batman never has these issues and ice? please, he beats dr.freeze on numerous occasion. Ultimately we have no reason to vote for iron man.Would iron man win in broad daylight on a flat field. Well most likely, but such a scenario would never occur. To demand such a premise would be silly. It is no different than supposing batman should have to fight all muggers by walking up to them and introducing himself first. Obviously we want to keep the characters true to their selves in this battle and batman would never enter a 1v1 public duel.
