10 Marvel Comics characters we want Batman to fight
By Mark Lynch
5. Iron Man
Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne would meet and immediately hate and respect each other. Bruce would admire Tony’s engineering and futuristic thinking. He’d detest his arrogance and carefree attitude. Tony would be impressed with the way Bruce maintains his secret identity and how he defeats villains like Riddler. Tony would become disappointed that he couldn’t keep Wayne Enterprises even though Tony lost his money and company as well.
This comes down to Bruce attempting to hack Iron Man’s armor. Many people have tried and failed, but none of them were Batman. Bruce has defeated Lex Luthor’s tech, but Iron Man’s armor is vastly superior. Nevertheless, in the end, Batman comes out victorious. Tony just doesn’t have enough skill to beat the Dark Knight.
6. Spider-Man
Spider-Man is underrated. Yes, that seems like a weird thing to say considering he’s among the greatest heroes of all time. The undervalue comes in with his fighting. People forget that he’s been in fights with the best heroes and villains in Marvel and come out on top. He doesn’t have a conventional fighting style, but he’s mastered it.
Batman loses. As often as Bruce overcomes the odds, this is one he can’t. Peter’s agility, super strength, and technology are too much for Bruce to overcome. And, at the end of the day, Bruce is still just a man without powers. Meanwhile, Peter doesn’t have a lot of flaws.
