Tony is smarter? Isn't Batman like a meme-level top tier tactician? In the whowouldwin subreddit (before I left) "Batman, with prep" was the op answer to any prompt.

Yeah and Bats even has a bunch of power armors for fighting metahumans.

I personally subscribe to the idea that he literally just dies when a super sneezes on him, but, comics aren't about sensible physics.

Tony would be nothing but puree inside of that suit after some of the maneuvers he pulls.

Especially MCU Tony in that prototype suit from Ironman 1. He'd have been pudding from that crash.

I like how Star Trek chose to at least Macguffin the physics with the "inertial dampening fields" in the ships. Because it's not the speed; it's the sudden stop that'll get ya.

It's all about acceleration. Accelerate too fast? Pain. Decelerate too fast? Also pain.

If there’s one thing that’s true of every criminal from supervillain to street level thug it’s that they always give the authorities and vigilantes plenty of time to “prepare”, especially if it’s batman.

Plus he’s not all that great about it; plenty of others, most famously Bane, have out-prepared and/or out-planned batman.

“if batman had time to prepare” is just what people tell themselves. it‘s never really considered that if batman has time to prepare, so would his enemies because they’d know about their own crimes before they happen.

It’s basically arguing the same thing as “well batman will beat you if he jumps out from behind a corner and sucker punches you”. like yeah a lot of people would kick my ass if they get to surprise me.

and like so what’s the situation like gordon gets on his red phone and is like “batman help the penguin and the joker are going around gotham causing mayhem, destruction, and death!” “….ok. how much time do i have to prepare?”

kinda the nature of the job is that you don’t have time to prepare, without letting people get hurt or die while you’re off preparing. it’s hack writing when he’s written that way and hospital grade coping for batman fans that don’t want to admit someone could easily beat him.

Either with prep time would win. The reason Tony is kinda better than batman is because he quickly adapts to the situation, while batman can only rely on pre-planning.

Spiderman as Robin is offensive to Peter Parker, working class hero of comics

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Right? That's the one thing I dislike about the new movies. They make it seem like Stark created Spider-Man, but Parker already had gadgets before Stark was ever around. Stark gave him one suit, he didn't mentor Peter. Besides, I'm pretty sure Spider-Man could mop the floor with Ironman.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 1 year ago

For sure, specially Toby maguire version or any other version that doesn't depend on cartridges and can generate web innately.

[–] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

New movies are trash cash grab unfortunately. They are technically ok, but story is bad for all movies. The only good thing is vulture.

Raimi's movies are better, but old peter parker in "spiderman into the spider verse" is the only true spiderman

I feel like iron man is more intelligent but not really smarter

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'd say Tony's smarter but Batman is wiser.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Stark is more inventive but Batman is more tactical

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Here's a bunch of times he learned from his mistakes!

Batman never once learned how to keep the bad guys from coming back.

That's deathstroke with super healing and a potty mouth.

Seriously

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where do you swim the deathstroke? In a deadpool!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I like this crossover. It's the one we need.
