    just to clarify: Batman is not the brains behind his powers. Yet IronMan is the brains behind his. IronMan wins the cagematch

        @neiltyson How is Batman not the brains behind his powers? He's developed just as many neat toys and he's a better detective than anyone.

        @neiltyson And in the original comics, at least, Batman made all of his own equipment. I’m going to go shoot myself now.

        #nerdcorrect in the comics Batman is, indeed, a science whiz who develops the tools for his utility belt @neiltyson

        @neiltyson Batman's defining trait is that his parents are dead.
