I wouldn't dare.
And my powers are irrelevant remark is too stupid to reply? So then how do you account for the thousands upon thousands of battles Batman has won against either meta-humans or those with powers.
The "thousands upon thousands of battles" Batman has won against superpowered people ? Lol, seems like I missed some of those "thousands upon thousands of battles". I'm going to read'em right away.
Hm, first comic I read is Batman vs Dredd. Hey wait, Dredd beats him unconsciousness. That Dredd... lol. Ok, I'll give it a second try : Batman Year Two. Hm, an old guy in a leather armor and with some guns, couldn't give Batman much trouble. But wait, do my eyes deceive me ? He's almost killed by this not superpowered old man ! Luckily there was a sewer where he could hide in.
Okay, last try : Return of the Dark Knight. Batman is older, but still in great shape, and according to your theory, he should have absolutely no problem against the leader of the gang called The Mutants, just a muscled punk who can fight a little. But hey, he loses again, thank God that Robin girl saves his ass.
Do I have to continue to read the comics ?
Because he is the hero, and in the comics; hero's win. This is one of the most basic rules in comics, granted it always has it's exceptions, but by and large the hero of a particular title is almost always overcoming the odds even if they are stacked against him/her.
For once, I agree with you, but you forget one little detail : Spider-Man is also the hero.
So no, powers have very little bearing in determining who will win, powers will only dictate the substance of the battle if and when they do happen to fight. Now in this particular case, when it's hero on hero, the older/wiser, more well-established, and greater fan favorite hero will win. That's how this fight will be determined.
Less talk, more prove.
