Guy at the shop argued Batman could beat Iron Man in a fight for 20 minutes straight

I was at my local comic shop last Saturday grabbing the new X-Men issue. This dude in his 40s in a faded Punisher shirt just comes up to me out of nowhere. He starts going on about how Batman with prep time could take down Iron Man in any armor. I just nodded but he kept going. He pulled out his phone to show me some Reddit thread he saved. Went into this whole thing about Batman using some EMP gadget from an old comic. I stood there for like 15 minutes holding my coffee. Finally I just said "cool man" and walked to the counter. Dude followed me and kept talking about the Hellbat armor. Has anyone else had a random debate like this that just would not end?

Iron Man would just call in a satellite strike from orbit before Batman even knew he was there.

Hold on, are we really talking about billionaires in robot suits like it's a matter of national security? I mean, Iron Man calling in a satellite strike feels like overkill, you know? Like, isn't Batman just a guy in a cape who sneaks around at night? That's like using a nuke to swat a fly. I get that Tony Stark has fancy tech, but come on, we're talking about a dude in a cave with boxes of scraps here. Seems like a lot of hubbub for a situation that's more about who gets the last word in a heated debate.
