#they're like dc's manhunters but 2x as scary

#i read the peter centric ones and peter is like ‘the technology is a few decades behind’#and i read a tim centric one and tim is like ‘tonys pab is cool tho not as advanced as the batcave’s’

I honestly enjoyed it and found it funny the first few times, but now I'm just like "NO! STOP IT!"

Although - before I enter rant mode - it is fun to see tech differences between the universes. Like the Gotham Library having heavy outdated computers makes a lot of sense so they don't get stolen. Or if the two worlds advanced tech in different areas (weapons, computers, and alternative energy in mcu, while dc focused on space travel, transportation in general, and bioweapons.

Tony's tech and coding should be more advanced than the Bats because tech is his life. Maybe it isn't more advanced than all the tech in DC *points at Red Tornado and Cyborg* but it is def more advanced given his multiple AIs, his suits (especially his nano suit), his arc reactor, the element he uses to power the arc reactor, the holograms, his collaborations with scientists he respects (mostly cho (yes she's a medical doctor, but they count) banner, the wakandans, shield, etc) He grew up learning about tech and weapons. His first tech achievement was at the age of 4 years old.

(side note: Wakandan tech is more advanced than Tony's so whenever I see a DC character dis it I'm like I'm sorry do you have magic space metal that can defy physics and medical knowledge?)

(2nd side note: Comparing Tony's tech to SHIELD is unfair considering that's a team of scientists vs 1 scientist so the team is obviously going to have more diverse ideas. Also also, it was shown in the Avengers movie that Tony had to be on site to hack into SHIELD because they use closed network servers so I think the Bats would have to be as well.)

DC's zeta tubes is the superior transportation tech (granted it's for the heroes use only) It's basically teleportation and MCU doesn't have that outside of magic.

I think Wonder Woman's jet and Batman's plane are maybe advanced tech compared to the quinjets, but idk much about the invisible jet or batplane so...

I don't think DC has any tech like the Photostatic Veil (aka image inducer), but again, I could be wrong.

Also comparing the MCU and DC comics is extremely unfair.

i love how there’s this subtle jab at technological advancement between universes in mcu x dc fics
