Toys of Superman and Batman from the 2016 movie, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were thrown on the web earlier, and fans were ecstatic. However, a few believe the Batman armor is too similar to Iron Man, is that the case?

We can understand why there are similarities between the Batman armor and that of Iron Man's own armor. Both Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark are rich, both are smart men, but they are not the same when it comes down to personality and ideals.

Tony Stark's armor was designed for everyday tasks. Taking out regular bad guys along with super-powered villains who are capable of leveling a whole city. Basically, Stark is nothing much without the armor and is incapable of going into a full-fledged battle without it.

As for Batman, he doesn't need the armor unless he's going up against a being such as Superman or a villain of similar caliber.

So what are the differences between both armors?

Well, if we should take a look at the new Batman toy from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we can clearly see that while it is strongly armored, several aspects of the suit were designed for movement.

If we look at the joints, we can clearly see what appears to be light armor, which could be designed for Batman to be able to move about freely. Strangely enough, there's an opening at the mouth section. Why is it that Bruce chose to leave his mouth unguarded is beyond us.

Additionally, the suit is not capable of flight, nor is it powered by a super-advanced power source that can last for a very long time. The suit is grounded in reality as much as possible; hence, why it is in no way similar to the Iron Man armor.

The Iron Man armor is more of a technological achievement than Batman's armored suit, and that is mainly because Marvel's Cinematic Universe isn't grounded in reality while the DC Cinematic Universe is.

At the end of the day, both armors are great for what they were designed to do. Though if we had to choose between the two, we'd definitely go for the Iron Man armor.
