The Batman and Spider-Man swap cities. Who fares better against the other'senemies?

Even if we give him his black suit back to be more intimidating, he lacks the psycological or mental "mojo" to tame gotham city like Batman does

Gotham has a particularly crazy and brutal brand of criminals but nothing that would break Spider-Man mentally or morally. Peter has had to deal with some SERIOUSLY f*cked up shit over the years. The Osborn family alone has mentally prepared him for crazy.

True. I wonder if a hero could actually make gotham city a safe place to walk at night.

I think spiderman is more powerful but I even doubt Superman will be able to clean gotham, because of the psycotic nature of its criminals.

"Batman is not the hero Gotham needs, but the hero Gotham deserves" 🙂 in college humor voice

It would give Thor two days before Gotham is a lot safer.

Another thing that hasn't been brought up is how Batman will handle the heroes and anti-heroes in Marvel? He is SO against killing and you have guys like Wolverine, Punisher, Ghost Rider, Elektra etc. running around.

Heck, even Thor/Captain America, the best of Marvel, have killed. The villains will push his intelligence and physical capabilities to the limit but it's the heroes and the nature of the Universe that will really challenge him morally and mentally.

I'm assuming this is JLA level Batman or whatever, because solo book Batman just to survive would need his infrastructure and connections like Oracle imo.

Batman in his solo book has done ridiculous things. And he has a wealth of tech now. Especially with Brother Eye.

Its good that some people in here are lowballing Batman.

I'm assuming the OP was letting the heroes stand back and give each of them free rein, otherwise within a day the Batfamily would come down on Spidey, then the JLA etc.

And it also depends on what he gets when he takes his cave with him. Insider suit? That one that lets him sneak up on Superman? His rocket ship? etc etc.

Realizing what he's up against, Batman pulls out his anti-Superman armor and wrecks havok on Spidermans foes:

👆 Not to mention all the phucked up mess Kraven and his family have dragged him through.

Someone has mentioned the bats time travel (I think someone has mentioned it in this thread) feat but Spidey has one that, IMO, is better

Which is?

What are you guys talking about?

I have no idea lol. Maybe as the resident Spidey guy you can enlighten me...

Lost track of this one.

But when it comes to psychotic Batman enemies are way ahead of spiderman villains.

The osbornes or the kravens cant compare to how crazy and sick are some of the batman villains.

And I doubt Thor can deal with Gotham city, his daddy issues are not enought to batcrazyfuel his head into vengance and he is deeply in love with his own brother to make him a serios crazy vigilante.

That may be true, but psychotic and sick is nothing new to Spidey. Being just a bit more so wouldn't break his sanity or will which is one of the strongest in comics. Hell he's gotta be mentally strong just for coming out of the clone saga in his right mind.

Kraven probably can't. Osborn however graduated from the same psycho school as the Joker. And even Joker doesn't usually plan years ahead just to f with Batman.

u'd place osborn on an even keel with joker?

No, he has Hush and Thomas Wayne for that.

Pyg is also weird as ****....

I think Batman would have major problems with Cletus Cassidy.

How would you guys think that Spiderman will react to a villain like the Queen of hearts? (Batman 472)

IMO he will probably realize that some of the Batman villains are just waaaaaaay crazy

Power wise I think Spiderman can handle everything Gotham has to offer.

Mentally wise though is another story.

Though in the end if We are just talking about power, Spiderman will fare better than Batman if they were to switch cities.

My only doubt is if Spiderman will be mentally prepared to deal with Gotham city.

Why wouldn't Spiderman be? has he ever come across as being emotionally unstable? How would Batman do if the Sinister 6 popped up while he was unprepared, and began to beat on him?
