Prep time would make them almost equal. However! Bats can definitely disable Spidey's senses, and that's a major blow. On the other hand, Spidey can't do much other than fight Bats hand to hand and webbing. Knock-out gas, bullets, etc... Bats is has gadgets against all of that.
Looking at Dark Knight returns, Bats went toe to toe with Supes (even before Kryptonite was used). Bats has gone toe to toe with Bane. Aren't either of these characters more powerful than Spidey?
I have to say Bats wins this one, simply because Spidey's weaknesses are more obvious to figure out.
How is Spidey's fighting style more brute force? Think of Spidey's abilties for a moment, now think of how Spidey's fighting style is described....Spidey has created a fighting style that enlists the use of ALL of his abilities. Meaning that Spidey's fighting style uses a heck of alot more than brute force.
Factoring in the complexity of his fighting style Spidey could execute multiple attacks on Batman from multiple angles before Bats would've had time to defend himself. If you're under the assumption that Spidey is one of those guys that goes in and uses a strength advantage as a way of getting by in a fight with someone, then you're confusing him with the Hulk.
And going on the defensive for Bats against Spidey, someone many times more powerful, faster, naturally durable, perceptive, etc than he would be a bad idea. Batman can't parry blows from Spidey simply by blocking him, Spidey has common sense and knows to up his game when holding back isn't doing the trick.
And how could Bats disable Spidey's spider sense? If Bats throws a flash bomb Spidey has more than enough common sense to move out of the way of it. Or he could web it and yank it out of the air as it is thrown at him? What about gas bombs, besides doing the aforementioned, Spidey could hold his breath and walk through the gas cloud, using his spider sense to detect ambush attacks courtesy of Bats. And if the battle went hand to hand or if Spidey used his webbing, they would be the only alternatives needed. In hth combat Spidey could simply punch Bats into unconsciousness. From far away Spidey could mummify him with webbing. Bullets? Pfft. Like Spidey couldn't dodge those. It's been a part of his character to do so.
And as far as the question of Bane being more powerful than Spidey...it's going to take many many many gallons of venom for Bane to come close to touching Spidey. In normal conditions, Spidey need not any plan to be able to walk all over Bane. Think about it, Bane's about three times stronger than Bats, that makes him capable of lifting about a ton. On his worst day, Spidey would fall backwards with hysterical laughter thinking of someone with strength that limited ever being a threat to him. Factor in the fact that Bane's slower and not even as agile as Bats and Bane would be almost the least of a challenge for Spidey.
And again, where's the logic in Batman being able to withstand punches from Superman? Where could Batman get the material for a suit like that? Seriously, if anyone has the answer for it I'd like to know. *Waits for the typical "where's the logic in Spidey getting his powers from a radioactive spider" response*.
And Spidey's not Superman, he doesn't have any weaknesses to any substances such as Krytonite, Bats isn't exploiting any weakness of Spidey's w/o prep time. There's a good chance he wouldn't be able to do so with prep time. What does he have on the guy?
