Y'know,the only useful thing about your message compared to lot of them that I read is the humor,and I am dead serious.From the likes of your response,you're inches away from breaking your keyboard in two.
I say about 95%,Batman has used his gadgets to bring down someone stronger than himself -- not to mention a few petty purse-snatching creeps.His belt is like a tool supply to him.Without it,he cannot disarm a person shooting at him from afar unless he has some kind of a shadow to work with.He cannot get around the city on foot alone.He cannot escape traps without his belt.The options are teeming.Mainly everything he does is done through his belt -- rather you'd like to believe it or not.Batman's belt is his weakness.
Tell me,did any of this martial arts training,years experienced,ingenuity,enlightenment and all that other garbage help him any when an unarmed Death Stroke,Longshot,or Predator villain beat him into the ground?No.I don't care what kind of training you insist on bring up here,it is not enough to aid him in a fight to someone out of his league.He can barely handle a person like Killer Croc,a lunatic like Joker,and a guy with some powdered dust name Scarecrow.But,you want me to believe that he can handle somebody like Spider-Man in a fair fight,....and without his belt at that.He does not have a spider-sense nor anything else related to it,some super dupper fighting technique,and certainly no brain to that of Reed Richards or some psychic.
What Spider-Man brings to the table is a lot more than a wanna be spider-sense and a belt of manual gadgets.
