No, no God no! A typical Bat Man vs Iron Man, Tony would beat Bruce down. Big time.
Bruce would need to take Tony by surprise and Plot Device/ Prep to stand a real chance.

Yeah. Batman just isn't a great rumbles character. He excels at things that aren't relevant here, like using his mad detective skills to uncover plots before they happen, and discreetly bribing members of Luther's Injustice League to betray Lex at the pivotal moment. Or creating a back up personality in case he comes under prolonged psychological torture and his mind is broken.
There are ways for Bruce to beat Tony in a story, very plausibly. They just aren't relevant to rumbles.
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
Even with his Bat tank from Arkham Knight, Batman won't be able to beat Iron Man.
Part of Batman's appeal to me is his limit, he had a hard time beating venomless Bane, there is no way he can beat Tony.
All Star B&R might find some weird unreal way to beat Iron Man of that world.

Ok, the other stuff I can grant, but
Based on?is a better hacker
Tony with Extremis has hacked into many, many things without any difficulties. Technopathy will help you do that.
Why should we not take that as valid ? New 52 Batman has only been around for so long . Tony's been around forever and has had his various armours (not other tech like the Dyson sphere ) largely destroyed by the likes of Hulk for the Phoneix buster to be a consistent indicator of his abilities
Besides its not like Bruce built these . Hellbat for instance was specifically forged in the heart of a star by Superman ( and various Leaguer contributions ) . He just happens to own it
The Justice Buster however was built by himself, and even though the new 52 hasn't existed for that long, I still find it hard to swallow that the same Batman that has trouble fighting Street Crime in his solo also builds suits that can hang with Superman-Level beings.
Just like the Thor-Buster was built on the foundation of the magical Phlebotinum Thor gave Iron Man beforehand. The Phoenix Buster has been deemed an outlier here because it was built by himself, the Thor-Buster however isn`t.Hellbat for instance was specifically forged in the heart of a star by Superman ( and various Leaguer contributions ) . He just happens to own it

Hacking Wise, Batman is confirmed capable of, if pushed to the extreme, "almost" operating on the level of Cyborg. Well, I dunno if that's right, but he can "Hack Cyborg". Cyborg being the guy who can hack every network in the world at once, as well as alien networks...
Deal with it. :0That's the new reality. Batman armors and technology in general have long been upgraded since the old none existence post-crisis. Just like how Superman is operating at a higher level. Post-crisis SMVSL prep is the new high-end feat for Batman nowadays.
Why wouldn't Thor Buster or any of the Busters be considered valid? Doesn't Tony get to do years of research for these armors and continuously upgraded them only to fail when he confronts the foe in question.

As for the fight, give Batman one-sided prep and yeah he wins. No plot device junk needed at this point. Just Batman being Batman. Or, you know, the Hellbat Armor which is in fact 100% his and a resource he has...I thought it was destroyed but if it's still around...sure why not?
Just to be clear , I wasn't saying Bruce beats Tony. Merely noting that he has better weapons these days than merely a tank . Likewise Tony's built planet busting Dyson spheres and whatnot . In an all out rumbles style prep fight , Tony wins for sure
That doesn't change
A) the spectacular failure of the majority of Tony's busters
B) the failure of Tony's armours against class 100s when built by himself alone with no external help
So Bruce with one of his suits these days vs Tony in one of his regular suits ? Bruce wins . This of course , assuming Tony doesn't get prep to make his own suits better . The point being Batman CAN beat him , as he is no longer bringing just a tank to the fight

Perhaps it would be fairer to say better hacker relative to the tech he works with. Batman's been able to hack Darkseid's superweapons on his own world. I do suppose given all the stuff Tony can summon to his aid to do the hacking for him, Bruce might not win that fight.
I can totally see Bruce, in a story, causing Tony to go bankrupt again.
I will admit not knowing much about Nu52, so his hacking and power armor feats there are best answered by others.
