Loo how many times he has been busted open by a well aimed Goblin bat-blade, or pumpkin bomb. He's been almost crushed by The Kingpin - who is only human, and a heckuva lot slower than Batman. Spidey has been beaten by very human characters before.
Spider-Man can't dodge everything. An irregular barrage of attacks by Batman would eventually hit him. People think he's able to dodge everything. He can dodge some things, but not everything.
His fighting experience is nowhere near as extensive as Batman's. Batman's utility belt couldmean he has a tazer, or some sort of electrical charge, which he could use against spider-mans web shooters - this is what Batman does best - he always pulls out something from the hat to surprise the enemy. He is constantly making the enemy switch tactics. You can't out-play Batman. Sorry Spidey.
Batman is also a master strategist, and would probably try and wear down Spider-Man. Spider-Man has proven to be quite an easy target after being roughed up a little. Spidey is a "never give up" kinda guy - but Batman's will is stronger, having being a merely human superhero, his will would have been forged like iron over the years. Spider-Man would know when to quit, Batman wouldn't.
Spider-Man is my all time favourite hero, but at least I'm not arrogant enough to think Batman wouldn't put up an almighty fight.
If it weren't for the fact that Batman beat the Justice League and is THE MAN, I'd definitely choose Spider-Man. But, as it stands, Batman has ALWAYS pulled something out of the bag to turn the tables. His greatest ally is underestimation. Spider-Man has underestimated all too many people and paid for it big time.
(Here we go again 😉)
1. Does anybody really think Batman has a chance beating Spider-Man mano a mano ? No gadgets, no web, just man against man ? Batman will probably surprise Spider-Man in the beginning, but after a few minutes, playtime is over and Spider-Man will make Batman eat his cape.
Again, Spider-Man is lots and lots stronger, waay faster, is at least as experienced (yes he is), has far superior reflexes and, like this isn't enough, has his spider-sense.
But let's assume (I'm a nice guy) Batman actually manages to hit/punch Spider-Man a few times. So ? Spider-Man has taken punches from Rhino, from Venom, Carnage, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Sandman... and he still keeps coming. Batman just doesn't have the strength to knock Spider-Man unconsciousness. Sorry, but that's a fact.
2. Let's throw in the gadgets/weapons/utility belt. Can somebody please explain me what and how Batman will use one of his weapons against Spider-Man ? Do not forget, Spider-Man is famous for dodging and avoiding attacks.
3. Now, when Batman comes up with a decent plan, well, that's another story. Then he certainly has a chance (no guarantee !) to beat Spider-Man.
But, I'm real anxious to see what kind of masterplan it will be, because he'll need a good plan !!
Sorry Batfans, but to give Spider-Man a good beating, you need superpowers. I didn't make the rules, I just follow them.
