## Interlude

*The scene opens with the lights flickering on in the arena and the camera panning over to reveal the large crowd of people watching the show. Ringmaster makes his appearance as he steps onto the main stage and walks towards his microphone which he then grabs in order to properly introduce himself to his audience.*

**Ringmaster**: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to MY Arena where there's no rules, no research, only bloodshed! I am Ringmaster! Your announcer, your host extraordinaire for this extravaganza! And let me welcome you, to, the Exhibitiooon!!!

## Exhibition

**Ringmaster**: "And our next item is extra special!"

**Ringmaster**: "It's... a parent. Just a daddy."

**Ringmaster**: "Alright, here we go! $250 to the redneck in the back! Okay, sit down bud, we *know* you don't have any money."

**Ringmaster**: "Alright starting over! Weird kid in orange, $500!"

**Ringmaster**: "And that's quickly blown out of the water, $750!"

**Ringmaster**: "Whoo! Now we're talking a mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-million for the man in the fancy suit!"

**Ringmaster**: "Looks like he's got competition, $2 million for the man in the bat suit! Heh!"

**Ringmaster**: "Now $5 millio- or make that 10!"

**Ringmaster**: **"ONE BILLION!?"**

**Ringmaster**: "Wait, wait— does that— does that say infinity? **It's sold,** to the bat! For infinity dollars! Not sure how he's gonna pay for that..."

## Trivia

### Production

* The connections between Batman and Iron Man are that they are both genius billionaire superheroes who have their own companies (Wayne Enterprises and Stark Industries, respectively) who use their intellect and resources to create high-tech suits of armor, gadgets, and inventions which allow them to challenge aliens and god-like beings despite being powerless humans. Both are prominent members of superhero teams (the Justice League and the Avengers, respectively), but despite their good intentions, they struggle with paranoia towards their god-like teammates, leading to them repeatedly developing high-tech countermeasures against them. Both also have similar iconic lines declaring their heroic identity ("I'm Batman." and "I am Iron Man.", respectively).
	+ This is also a battle of opposites, as Batman's identity is a major secret and he has a silent and gloomy personality with a dark appearance, while Iron Man revealed his identity to the public and has a wisecracking personality with a colorful appearance.
* This is the only episode to have its alternate ending uploaded on YouTube.
	+ The alternate ending, in which Batman wins, was uploaded in celebration of Batman Day.

### Other

* This is the third *Marvel* VS *DC* themed episode, after Harley Quinn VS Domino and Catwoman VS Black Cat, and with the next being Apocalypse VS Black Adam.
	+ This is the second time *Marvel* wins, after Catwoman VS Black Cat.
* This is the third episode to be shared with Death Battle, after Sasuke VS Hiei and Goomba VS Koopa 2, and with the next four being Alucard VS Dio Brando, Vegeta VS Thor, Apocalypse VS Black Adam, and Vegito VS Gogeta.
