If both characters were to go on an unarmed killing spree then Spidey would most definitely have the higher kill toll to his credit. Think about it, Bats would have to rely on hitting specific areas on the body at a certain time, while Spidey could simply make your skull implode with a simple punch or palm strike. Spidey could kick a guy through the stomach. He could suffocate a guy with webbing. He could slam a guy into a wall really hard, not to mention that with both characters on their feet running after a fleeing victim, Spidey could run down both his and Bat's vicitm before Bats could get close to either.
I don't recall saying Batman would simply beat Spider-Man's "kill toll", but that Spider-Man isn't suddenly the better killer just because he's stronger.
To be nit-picky, no, Spider-Man couldn't implode a human's skull with a punch, nor could he kick through someone. If he punched someone in the head full-force, sure, it'd send their head backwards and snap their neck. If he kicked them, it's more likely he'd just hemorrhage something so badly that they'd die later - but not immediately.
If anything is a factor, it'd be Spider-Man's superior speed which would allow him to simply kill faster. But Spidey's actual ability to kill a person isn't so significantly better than Batman's.
By the way, saying Spidey could use webbing isn't what I call unarmed, especially when you brought up an unarmed scenario.
Your point?Spidey's much stronger, faster, more durable, more elastic, more agile, more powerful in general, has webbing strong enough to support a collapsing building, can adhere to walls, has a spider sense that (when coupled with his superhuman reflexes, speed, and leaping ability) makes him that much harder to touch...slomehow, I don't think a height or weight advantage or both will help Batman from getting tossed like a sac of lightweight potatoes in this fight.
It looks like you're just trying to argue for the sake of argument. This isn't even a point as to how Batman could win. All I said was that his example was bad, nothing more. One of the big reasons why us humans can't tango with strong animals is the fact that they're so heavy; there's a lot of weight to throw around. Just because Spider-Man is strong doesn't mean Batman can't toss him around, either; the man is only 160 lbs. To properly apply his strength, he would need leverage.
Who cares if he hardly ever leaves New York? Do you know the crime that ravages through NYC in the MU? The FF (Fantasic Four) is stationed there. Spidey's currently a New Avenger there, work as a crimefighter there isn't hard to come by. Spidey is next to never left without anything to do right where he is.
You're not even paying attention. He said Batman was a town hero; he sticks to Gotham. Spider-Man usually sticks to NYC. What's your point here?
Peter going "huh?" as an excuse of his getting hit despite having the spider sense is a cheap way of trying to dismiss it, no offense. Usually there's no explanation as to his being hit by people slower than himself. Spidey's gone "huh?" plenty of times at the tingling of his spider sense because the danger that it was trying to Peter aware of had, up to that point, gone unseen. And even then, it's done nothing to stop Peter from leaping out of harm's way, if there is any, and I do mean any instance where it's been noted through a visual or a writer's note in the corner of some comic book panel that Spidey's questioning of the spider sense the instant it goes of has detered him of steering clear of trouble then I'll apologize despite the idea of it all reeking stupidity.
I only brought it up as to why Spidey gets hit sometimes, not as how Batman would sneak up on him. Quit putting words in my mouth.
Bats utilizing [EMP] requires prep time. Spidey could do the aforementioned (rip the armor) without planning of any sort.
Not necessarily. If he has it, he has it - no two ways around it. I said he might have an EMP device on him at all times, and quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if he did. The fact that it's a gadget doesn't mean it requires prep-time, nor does the fact that it's a device that could take down Iron Man mean that it's huge and therefore requires prep.
