where's the cake or cat?

Stark hands down. They sold weapons to Al-queda.

I get the joke, but also demand a cake and/or cat.

Okay, so technically Stark Industries does more evil, but which owner would you rather hang out with?

Tony Stark is worse, and that's a good thing this time.

Tony's a drunk but he's also my favorite...sorry Wayne.

haha. I can't vote they both are awesome, well Batman's voice gets annoying so Wayne Enterprises is going down!

Boy, I'll be glad when April Fool's Day is done with on The Consumerist!

@Travis McReynolds: 2nd!

Best pairing evar.

Gotta go with the arms dealer on this one.

Stark was bad, but Tony shaped it up. Wayne was all about the military projects.

@undefined: You people sure are entertained by the most simple of internet memes. You should have a Fark/SA/4Chan feed just so you can be on the cutting edge of internet humor.

Thanks. I was skeptical at first, but that market research is no joke. I already feel much better.

Although Wayne Enterprises paints a picture with a happy face and doing good for the community the fact is that all their production facilities are farmed out overseas, and their tricky accounting practices have gotten them out of paying billions of dollars in back taxes.

Stark Industries may produce weapons of mass destruction but those are jobs that are provided to hard working Americans.

Bruce Wayne tends to stay away from arms contracts, whereas SE is known for them over the years.

Tony Starks'll leave ya headpiece hangin! WU! TANG! WU! TANG! WU! TANG! WU! TANG!

This is awesome.

@Blinky987: And you appear to be entertained by US. Where does that put you on the totem pole?

This gives me more pause than Comcast v. DirecTV ever will. My vote is for Wayne Enterprises if only because I think that at least Tony Stark reformed his company, and himself. Bruce Wayne as Bruce Wayne held benefits and charity auctions, and not much else. You can throw money at a problem all you want, but you also have to believe in the reasons for improvement. Clearly, Tony Stark's origins story is much more of a journey. And also, he gets better one-liners, wears nicer suits, and has more fun.

I hate broodiness.

@T Axel Jones: Excellent points. Can I change my vote?

So, I guess Globex didn't make the cut. I see how it is.

@tc4b: Holy Bat-Bitchslap, that was awesome!

Tony Stark has better taste in women. Bruce Wayne fell in love with..Maggie Gyllenhall? And so did Harvey Dent? WTF?

@pecan 3.14159265: Wayne believes in the reasons for improvement. He fought to save the city, after dedicating his young adulthood to becoming physically able to do so, he didn't just throw money at it.

Batman and Wayne, and, by extension, Wayne Enterprises are too full of win to lose. Plus, Lucius Fox works for them.

Batman's kevlar codpiece bulge is both more well-formed and larger. You have to reward that attention to detail - it's like Toyota vs GM all over again!

@Trai_Dep: Err, not that I was looking down there or anything.
Err, much?!

@CumaeanSibyl: Stark uses a suit with a bunch of high tech weapons.

Bruce Wayne is a weapon.

@Yoko Broke Up The Beatles: I hate fun too! Let's go hang out and be deadly fucking serious!

I would much rather give my taxpayer money to a bailout for Wayne Enterprises if it meant I got my own fully equipped utility belt with bat-a-rang.

@Yoko Broke Up The Beatles: Yeah, fun sucks!

Let's go talk some more about how the world is falling apart around us. Yay!

Wait. No Iron Man cake?

I just heard that Facebook is hiring Lucius Fox as their new CFO.

Ah, dammot, why did you go and do this to me??

OK, let's see.. A multinational conglomerate ran by a seemingly wild billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. (Keep in mind that his playboy appearances are a facade, they are to keep the hounds off the track of Batman.) This conglomerate has donated Billions of dollars to charities and provided thousands of jobs both national and overseas. As previous posters have mentioned, Mr. Wayne is anti-war, but will not hesitate to apply the company's talents to develop defensive systems if the need arises.

And then you have a milcorp that also has mastered "cool" fusion and is providing gigawatts of power to the community on the cheap. And develops weapons to sell to the military. The CEO being a genuine freewheeling playboy in this case, and seemingly only interested in the art of war.

@Yoko Broke Up The Beatles: I DEMAND SERIOUS CATS AND MELANCHOLY SNACKS.

@WelcomingFacebookers_GitEmSteveDave: Despite what that ideologue, Christopher Nolan would have you believe, Bruce Wayne would never allow his technology to be used for war. Bruce Timm has done some excellent documentary work showing that.

@Trai_Dep: Just enough, Trai, just enough.

My entire family was killed by a stray Stark Industries rocket.

@Trai_Dep: Ya know, a guy like Stark who'll wire his cell phone into a beta build, you gotta wonder what he might have installed... down there... I mean, he'd need some kind of, erm, sanitary arrangements. Which could be multifunctional...

Oh god, did I just invent Iron Man cyberslashfic?

Stark Industries FTW.

I have it on good authority through my SHIELD contacts that Tony's been heartless for *years*.

@Trai_Dep: Yeah, that dude sure showed me by completely dodging my point. He's a legitimate forum master.

@Cocotte: If you ever write a book or have an album you should name it "Serious Cats and Melancholy Snacks".

Oh, I hope y'all do this every year. It is too good!

@Rectilinear Propagation: I'm totes thinking it needs to be a tattoo.

I voted Wayne enterprises. Their logo sucks. It seems like if you work for them you are only a number.

@Cocotte:

Sad to say, no... Searching Google for "iron man" slashfic will burn your brain forever.

eww...

@suburbancowboy: Ugh and Katie Holmes. He should have better taste than that.

I voted for Stark. Their Intellicrops SEEM good, but have you read the EULA on those goddamn things?

@Rectilinear Propagation: That's going to be the first album from my non-existent band, "Couch-Bound Druids".
