Batman's villains wear one down at the mental level and attack with surprise, overwhelming numbers, genious planning, and precise execution.... spiderman's villains while being clever are simply not batman's villains when it comes to intelligence...in a no prep drop into a thunderdome type of scenario...spiderman's villains would clean house, but up close and personal is not how batman villains opperate...now you pit those same villains in a story arch where the batman baddies get the learn about the spidey ones and slowly pick them apart at the seams and then strike...and spiderman's baddies don't look so impressive anymore...they're two entirely different types of bad-guys but both equaly effective for where their strengths lie..... spiderman villains are brawlers, batman villains are deviant calculating masterminds...
Lizard, Ock, Mysterio, Morbius, Goblin, Smithy, Kingpin.
All of these guys were masterminds, but spideys villans are still a more deadly threat, IMO>
