(superhuman strength is already out of the equation)- speed, agility, durability, equilibrium, elasticity, make up for nothing because batman has away around each and every one of those things, this is a point for batman. Batman has adapted to different fighting styles over the past and one more is not going to make a difference. Case in point the white martians hunted batman and he came up with a solution right there and then....effectively switching his fighting style to his advantage. (and for your information batman did not know these people who were chasing him were white martians he deduced it.) Spiderman's fighting style may be unique but with batman there is nothing a well placed flash bang, stunned grenades, or gas wouldn't take care off. If the battle goes to physicality, yes it falls mainly in spiderman's court. But Power is not everything when faced with a great martial artist. Case in point batman could not follow the movements of another martial artist. Know what he did....he activated his own spider-sense...he feeled the vibrations of the air around him so as to follow where his opponent is going to attack. See why I can't give the physicality test completely to spiderman.taken from strawnilla.....DD is left at a greater disadvantage than Batman for he does not have the tech needed to deal with Spidey in a prepped fight and would be overwhelmed on both non prep and prep accounts......I wish this was true the fact of the matter is it ain't. For as Jinzin and Mainstream have pointed out and shown that DD as got the better of spiderman on more than one occasion. taken from strawnilla....Spidey's much stronger, faster, tougher, versatile, perceptive, etc. .....this did not spot DD from putting down the symbiont spiderman did it.
Come now. Are you still trying to say that Batman can compensate for superhuman abilities greater than his own peak human abilities many times over? He can't. And when it comes to feeling the vibrations of the air, how can he do this to track someone with superhuman speed to a calibur such as Spidey's? This is starting to get redicoulous. It's not like these white martians have Spidey's superhuman abilities in the same abundance, and comparing Spidey to your everyday martial artist is not the best method of debating. I'm more than certain that this martial artist could not adhere to walls, sense danger before it occurs, lift 15 tons, have superhuman agility, scale a tightrope as easily as he or she could walk, take being thrown through brick walls and against steel doors or bullets on the run (yes, Spidey has done this, he fell unconscious about as soon as he got home, but he did do it), etc. like Spidey has. And flash grenades? What's to say this will do any good against Spidey's spider sense? He has common sense enough to move out of the way of one, not to mention that he could web one up and sling it back at Batman (the spider sense can be used to detect the direction in which an attack is coming depending on what direction the spider sense flares the most alarmingly). It's the same with gas bombs, he can clear out of the way of one easily, and he can hold his breath running through a gas cloud to Batman (the spider sense will warn Spidey of an ambush attack from Bats despite the possible loss of sight in such a gas cloud), and he doesn't have to confront Batman, he could just hold his breath until the gas cloud passes, or he could outrun it (remember that moment during his fight with Morlun when he outran that gas leak?) So, to answer your question, no, I can't see why you don't give physicality completely to Spidey.
As for DD KO'ing Spidey....utter crap. Really, there's no explanation for it. DD has NO superhuman strength, NO superhuman speed (esp. to the point where he could tag Spidey twelve times), NO superhuman agility, etc., etc., just bad writing.
