And you speak of Batman's reflexes as if he were Wonder Woman or somebody.This guy has gotten leveled by Death Stroke in a toe to toe fight.Death Stroke's training can't even begun to compare with Batman's training,but he still put Batman on his butt due ti him being enhanced.Spider-Man has taken Iron Fist and other trained martial artist and beaten them fair handedly.Hitting Batman with some webbing is not going to be that hard to do if something as slow as a lasso was able to catch him offguard.Spider-Man's webbing also works with his reflexes.In mid motion,he is able to hit a precise area on his target in less than a seconds time.Batman can not react that fast.

Okay for starters I never claimed that Batman's reflexes were at the same level or superior to Spiderman's, I do however believe that Bats reflexes are good enough to be able to counter a punch or kick from spiderman due to his training. And as for not knowing Spidy's esteem level (or lack thereof) he's trained to find out any weakness in a person and unfortunatly for Spidy he talks during a fight making the true Superhero one liners and self monologue. sooner or later he'll let something slip and BAM Bats has his stratagy. And as for always getting the weakest character... well you,ve got me there but in theroy he could take the stronger characters 😮
