Well After being bitten it was explained that he was given unknown knowledge about the spider's webbing which helped him develop the formula. I'd like to see parker design and build a car that can travel up to speeds of 400 miles an hour, loaded with weapons. Id also like to see him figure out rocket science,and creat a jet that can travel faster than the speed of light.Batman has his own form of a spider sense. It's called clarity. Clarity that is only reached through the highest peaks of enlightenment. Spidey is a great hero, but let's face it he's a bit sloppy when it comes to fighting. He relies on his super strength and spider sense to save his life.Batman relies on skill, expierence,and knowledge to save his life. Batman has fought villians just as strong as spider mans villians, and has beaten them using only human strength, reflexes, and human intelligence.I mean batman cant say when fighting a villian " it's ok if i get hit because i'll be able to recover,due to my super strength" he has to be tactical,feirce and fast. which he is. If you are a comic reader you should know that strength is very rarely a key aspect in deciding the victory of a battle. Batman would scohol spidey on proper fighting techniques.
I've read a lot of what you guys had to say,but the one I found making the most sense was this post,not that it isn't debatable,however.
The brains part I can give you.I have no doubt that Batman has proven to be the most intelligent of the pair,but this doesn't put Peter in the sub class neither.A lot of you people,esspecially the person pointing out that Peter only went to one school while Bruce had gone through several, therefore making him at a retards' level,are quite wrong.Not only is Peter considered to be a genius in his school,but he's considered a wide genius as well.If you read Amazing Spider-Man #28,you'd notice that he's had the highest grade point average in schools' history.He's also a detective,not as good as Batman but a detective never the less.He has also use wits and strategy to overcome various odds.Which comes to show you that his fighting technique does not just consist of brute strenght.He's a thinker just as much a Batman,but he doesn't think as often as Batman due to his spider abilities.Does this mean Batman can reverse the odds?Not necessarily.Batman's weapon is his brain -- not his gadgets.This doesn't mean he's a psychic,though.To outwit Spider-Man you first have to figure out the fact that he functions with a second assistance.This assistance can either be his spider-sense,his willpower,or and his durable side.Meaning,even if Batman some how figured out a way to catch Spider-Man (even without the likes of him knowing about the spider-sense), will it be enough to hurt him?If so,would it be effective enough to cancel out the "driven" side of the character?If you think this doesn't matter,then you oughta read a little more about the character.Even under the most pain or immpossible circumstances,the character is known to will himself to go on.With Batman,this is of no option.His body can only take so much before it finally gives in.A single punch could render the fighter unconcious.
Point is,Spider-Man is very,very stubborn.This more than makes up for him not having Batman's intelligence.His odds clearly overwhelm that of Batmans'.
