Anyone ever notice...

...that these two are very alike in some ways?

I mean think about it.
1) They're both rich.
2) They've both been through a crappy time in their life.
Batman) Saw his parents murder.
Ironman) Was trapped in a cave, lost his cave mate in an explosion, and needed that miniature arc reactor to survive.
3) They both donned a secret identity and became superheroes.
4) Both got awesome costumes.
5) Both have helpers who talk to them on missions. (Jarvis counts as a helper)
6) Both have lovers who know their identities.
Is all of this just a coincidence or is it just part of the DC vs. Marvel conflict.
Here's a little extra treat for you guys. I thought it was kinda funny. Plus it's relevant to the topic. :D

 

Actually, That is most superheroes. Not just Iron Man and Batman, Even though Batman did start the trend.


I thought the only time Batman had a lover who knew his identity was in Batman Begins.

Also Talia Al'Ghul does not count.

 

You do know Marvel and DC copy each other when one of them releases a new successful character right?

 

Tbh, if based on appearance, I think Batman and Terra look similar. Just think about it and it'll come to ya.

 

I lol'd at this one.

 

True fact

/thread

 

...Would I be shot if I said that was debatable? B|

 

No, because I was going to say the same thing.

 

No you wouldn't. I'll rephrase it.
4) They both have lots of gadgets on their costumes.
There.

 

Gadgets =/= awesome.

And again, that's not just those two.

 

Nothing can beat the awesome of the Wonder Twins hurdurrr
