Stark hands down. They sold weapons to Al-queda.

I get the joke, but also demand a cake and/or cat.
Thanks. I was skeptical at first, but that market research is no joke. I already feel much better.
Okay, so technically Stark Industries does more evil, but which owner would you rather hang out with?

@CumaeanSibyl: Well stark industries did more evil when that guy was there and selling weapons to terrorists....
So because of that, it gets my vote... even if Tony himself created a awesome power suit and took down the wrong doers.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-159466-100x100.png\")
... as long as he has his suit of high tech armor/weapons on...
Batman is just as much of a bitch without the suit as Tony is, but at least Tony has an excuse (ack, my heart!)

@trujunglist: Bruce Wayne is a total kung fu master. The gadgets are nice, but if he and Stark get into a hand-to-hand fight in their underoos, Wayne would crush Stark.

@texasannie: I hope that they're properly logoed UnderRoos. Because Bruce in ones with the Superman logo? Awkward!
@Fresh-Fest-1986: Nope, he's not - he's thrown technology at the problem just like Tony Stark. Apparently, rich > mutant powers.

Tony Stark is worse, and that's a good thing this time.

Tony's a drunk but he's also my favorite...sorry Wayne.

Best pairing evar.
Gotta go with the arms dealer on this one.
Stark was bad, but Tony shaped it up. Wayne was all about the military projects.
@WelcomingFacebookers_GitEmSteveDave: Despite what that ideologue, Christopher Nolan would have you believe, Bruce Wayne would never allow his technology to be used for war. Bruce Timm has done some excellent documentary work showing that.
@undefined: You people sure are entertained by the most simple of internet memes. You should have a Fark/SA/4Chan feed just so you can be on the cutting edge of internet humor.
Although Wayne Enterprises paints a picture with a happy face and doing good for the community the fact is that all their production facilities are farmed out overseas, and their tricky accounting practices have gotten them out of paying billions of dollars in back taxes.
Stark Industries may produce weapons of mass destruction but those are jobs that are provided to hard working Americans.

Bruce Wayne tends to stay away from arms contracts, whereas SE is known for them over the years.
Tony Starks'll leave ya headpiece hangin! WU! TANG! WU! TANG! WU! TANG! WU! TANG!

This gives me more pause than Comcast v. DirecTV ever will. My vote is for Wayne Enterprises if only because I think that at least Tony Stark reformed his company, and himself. Bruce Wayne as Bruce Wayne held benefits and charity auctions, and not much else. You can throw money at a problem all you want, but you also have to believe in the reasons for improvement. Clearly, Tony Stark's origins story is much more of a journey. And also, he gets better one-liners, wears nicer suits, and has more fun.
I hate broodiness.
@pecan 3.14159265: Wayne believes in the reasons for improvement. He fought to save the city, after dedicating his young adulthood to becoming physically able to do so, he didn't just throw money at it.
Batman and Wayne, and, by extension, Wayne Enterprises are too full of win to lose. Plus, Lucius Fox works for them.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-706864-100x100.png\")
So, I guess Globex didn't make the cut. I see how it is.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-100023-100x100.png\")
Tony Stark has better taste in women. Bruce Wayne fell in love with..Maggie Gyllenhall? And so did Harvey Dent? WTF?
@suburbancowboy: Kim Basinger? Michelle Pfeifer? He has his highs and lows.
I've got no complaints with Leslie Bibb and Gwyneth Paltrow, however.
Batman's kevlar codpiece bulge is both more well-formed and larger. You have to reward that attention to detail - it's like Toyota vs GM all over again!
@Trai_Dep: Ya know, a guy like Stark who'll wire his cell phone into a beta build, you gotta wonder what he might have installed... down there... I mean, he'd need some kind of, erm, sanitary arrangements. Which could be multifunctional...
Oh god, did I just invent Iron Man cyberslashfic?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-706988-100x100.png\")
I would much rather give my taxpayer money to a bailout for Wayne Enterprises if it meant I got my own fully equipped utility belt with bat-a-rang.
Wait. No Iron Man cake?
I just heard that Facebook is hiring Lucius Fox as their new CFO.
Ah, dammot, why did you go and do this to me??
OK, let's see.. A multinational conglomerate ran by a seemingly wild billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. (Keep in mind that his playboy appearances are a facade, they are to keep the hounds off the track of Batman.) This conglomerate has donated Billions of dollars to charities and provided thousands of jobs both national and overseas. As previous posters have mentioned, Mr. Wayne is anti-war, but will not hesitate to apply the company's talents to develop defensive systems if the need arises.
And then you have a milcorp that also has mastered \"cool\" fusion and is providing gigawatts of power to the community on the cheap. And develops weapons to sell to the military. The CEO being a genuine freewheeling playboy in this case, and seemingly only interested in the art of war.

My entire family was killed by a stray Stark Industries rocket.

Stark Industries FTW.
I have it on good authority through my SHIELD contacts that Tony's been heartless for *years*.
@Trai_Dep: Yeah, that dude sure showed me by completely dodging my point. He's a legitimate forum master.
Oh, I hope y'all do this every year. It is too good!

I voted Wayne enterprises. Their logo sucks. It seems like if you work for them you are only a number.
I voted for Stark. Their Intellicrops SEEM good, but have you read the EULA on those goddamn things?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-749055-100x100.png\")
Stark is an SOB. He sold out his friends, took advantage of Peter Parker's daddy issues, and was indirectly responsible for Captain America's death.
Plus when his friend got wrecked by the Hulk, Tony took it upon himself to turn said friend into a cyborg.
@zacwax: If I got wrecked by the Hulk, after a really stiff drink, I think the thing I would want most would be turned into a cyborg.
I don't recall Stark Enterprises building a public transportation system.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-255368-100x100.png\")
I voted for Wayne Enterprises. With all the money Bruce Wayne has, and all he can come up with is a rubber suit and a hyped-up car? Tony has a flying armored suit! Better than a flying car! Stark FTW!
I'm going with Stark, as he's quite a lot more fun. Sorry, Bruce Wayne :(
@Lucifer_Cat (Does Not Tweet): If you're going to troll me, at least do something better than ad-hominem attacks and bandwagoning.

Tony Stark is like Bruce Wayne on Extacy.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-321187-100x100.png\")
What idiot does business with Stark Industries anyway? If you choose to give them your money you deserve the shitty service.
I am with Tony Stark on this one. Sorry Mr. Wayne.
Okay, I'll concede that Wayne Enterprises has scammed the country. By holding most of their money in oversees bank accounts, they've been able to avoid BILLIONS in taxes owed to the U.S. government.
HOWEVER, Stark Industries are still worse. By converting almost every peice of military equipment in the world, not to meantion the entirety of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology to his products, Tony Stark left a giant hole in our planets defense that allowed the Skrulls to invade all willy nilly. Good thing Norman Osborn is in charge now. He isn't so full of hubris as to base the entire world's defense on his tech alone.
