It's a spider, not just some bug. And at least Spider-Man is being consequent : he was bitten by a spider, this gave him some spider-abilities and he calls himself Spider-Man. Easy as pie.
But why did Batman decide to dress up as on overgrown Bat-thing ? When you think about it, he has nothing in common with a bat. And please don't say that just like a real bat, Bruce Wayne prefers the night, because I find that a lame excuse. And the fact that according to Frank Miller a bat flew into his house when he was doubting himself, doesn't convince me that much either.
If I had to dress up as every animal that flew or crept into my house whenever I was doubting myself, I should call myself Mothman. Or Bugman. Or Mouseman. Or Creepylittlething Man.

I mean...who'd be attracted to a guy who dresses oh-so-pathetically like a bug?!
What the hell? Did you not go to third grade? Spiders are arachnids, not 'bugs.' As for who'd be attracted to him, oh I don't know, say Betty Brant, Liz Allen, Gwen Stacy, Felicia Hardy, Mary Jane Watson, Aunt May...no wait, scratch that last one.

As a kid Bruce fell into the batcave and was terrified of the bats that flew all over him. He was so scared in fact that a bat took the shape of his worst fear.
So after his first night as a vigilante, when he realised that criminals were a superstious lot and that in order for him to have an edge over him, he would need to scare them outta their wits. The only way to do this he presumed, would be to become his own worst fear;the bat!
Bet he didn't know how sexy dressing as a bat would be... 馃槈
