Why is he always portrayed as the bad guy most of the time

Because he's stereotypical rich asshole and its easy for people to root against him.

Because the star of the book that's crossing over isn't going to be the villain of his own story

How can he be the bad guy when he's going against a Nazi?

>>83163555
smug douche

>>83163555
Because he's a dumber, less interesting Batman

Is it because everyone knows he's Tony Stark? What if Batman revealed his identity as Bruce Wayne? Would it be easier to root against Batman since he's essentially the same thing as Stark?

American anti intellectualism. Americans love to see the dumb fuck wins because they themselves are pretty dumb.

>less interesting Batman

But Batman isn't all that interesting to begin with. 95% of Batmans success stems from his villains, something Ironman really lacks.

Because hes a powermad dumbass.

The only characters that remain interesting are Superman, Blue Beetle and Harley Quinn, honestly.

If Batman tried half the dumb shit Stark gets up to, even disregarding Superman there are enough heroic entities out there that will put him down like a rabid dog.

Because Iron Man > your favorite character.

>Harley Quinn,

Kill yourself.

Comic book writers are very far left, and Iron man was designed to be a rich weapons desginer asshole from the start.

No. Batman's whole shtick in DC is that he's an unpowered underdog compared to the rest of the justice leauge.

Black Panter is super duper smart, but they can't really have him on clearly the "wrong" side of an argument.

>>83163555
>always
>most of the time
60% of the time, every time

when Stan Lee created the character, he attempted to make a hero out of someone people naturally root against: a smart, rich, white man

Who else misses superior iron man?

And that's why the best-regarded Batman stories are all Bruce-centric right? Dumbass.
