Can anyone compare Captain America to Batman?

[JakeSully]

They did battled in DC vs Marvel Comics and had 2 crossovers mainly Captain America/Batman and JLA/Avengers.

Who thinks Captain is similar to Batman in some ways? compare their combat skills, their weapons, their sidekicks and even Red Skull to Joker.

There both Very Simliar, of course Batman has had more sidekicks.

But there both part of teams, and have led there own teams, and have been replaced, by younger person.

I always considered Batman to be more like IronMan, Captain America to be more like Superman

Wayne and Stark are both billionaires with lots of tech toys, Rogers and Kent are the adult boy-scouts.

[JakeSully]

If you ask me DC's Steel and Iron Man have things in common as much as Hulk and Superman are.

But i agree on Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark being alike.

[Galactus]

Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are only similar in the sense that in public Bruce pretends to be like Tony. Bruce acts like a playboy, womanizing, arrogant douche but that's what Tony actualy is...well most of the time.:)

I do think Batman and Captain America are similar. I tend to think that Steve Rogers is the kind of crime fighter that Bruce would be without the childhood tragedy.

many people consider stark and wayne as equals. but i think that batman has the leverage here. batman doesn't need a high-tech suit to fight. but then again... that begs the question.. can stark even survive a fight with bruce without the suit? i think not.
in regards to captain america... in the sense that they're both very agile, precise, and can match each other blow for blow... then yes they are very similar. but i don't think this would be possible without the super soldier serum. that's the only thing that would possibly give cap the upper hand. his body is "designed" to fight. but if you throw in batman's intellect and precision, it becomes an even playing field.

I don't think they are really comperable. Both are "billionaire playboys" but as characters that's were it ends. Tony Stark has to have the armor as it keeps him alive and his methods of crime fighting have developed from there. Bruce has no such handicap and thus his methods differ. If Bruce had a bad heart or other physical impairment he wouldn't have mastered martial arts but would likely have gone the Iron Man route too.

Steve Rogers isn't exactly a slouch in the intellect and precision department either and you also have the idea that he's seen to equal Batman in fighting prowess while only posessing his small array of weapons while Bats has a utility belt which houses more gadgets than Mary Poppins bag.

no i completely agree... which is why i said bruce has the upper hand here. he doesn't need the suit. many people seem to compare the two and i don't think that's a fair call. the only trait they share is that they use tech as a weapon because of their lack of metahuman powers and that they're rich. bruce would dominate regardless of the metal suit. and stark's heart is pretty jacked up as you said and i completely agree here. stark's heart would be his downfall.

yes i failed to recognize cap's intellect which was his more stronger traits before the experiment... my apologies on that. but i meant that bruce spent the majority of his life studying and learning. so it's safe to say that he's smarter. but even at that... i still say it's an even playing field. rogers' fighting style is pretty fluid as well. and he may not tire as fast as bruce. so fatigue would come into play. however... bruce has been known to push his limits. so i'd say it's pretty evenly matched, yea?

They are comparable that both characters are totally just human with no super powers, yet can compete with gods and beings able to vaporize you with their superpowers.

In a fight, Batman would win. Batman don't fight fair.

if by not fighting fair you mean fighting in the shadows... then yes. but i don't think he'd need that. he's fought against monsters and gods without using shadows and trick weapons. i think bruce would decimate stark in a hand to hand no armor no weapons brawl... face to face. bruce vs. captain america is a whole entirely different match-up that could go either way.

That's not fair either. You take the suit away form Stark, you have to take something away form Wayne. Say his Martial arts skills.
I relate them to 2 very intellectual billionaires that both use their resources to build gadgets to win their fights

okay... good point. to make it even... what if stark's handicap was taken away. meaning his heart was "fixed up" and he was completely healthy. how would the fight end up? if you take away batman's martial arts skills... then that's not batman or bruce wayne anymore.
