Spiderman will get driven into madness dealing with Gotham city, IMO.

He gets already pushed mentally dealing with guys like the Osbournes and Kraven.

Dealing with the madness of the Joker, Szas, Killer Croc, Two face, Ventriloquist, The Mad Hatter, Dr. Freeze (just to name a few), they are not your regular criminals with superpowers, like the Vulture, Shock, Rhino, most of the Batman criminals are straight up psychos that need to be in a mental institution, not in a prison.

When it comes down to the level of crazy that Batman has to deal with in Gotham city vs dealing with the level of crazy of Spiderman's villains, there is basically no contest and if Batman's own sanity gets pushed by Gotham city, Spiderman's most surely will get trumped by it, IMO.

But Spiderman would one shot most of those guys, it's not like he has to get into their minds to see what makes them tick like Batman who has to follow those practices due to his human frailty. You see Batman and Spiderman are two different people. If Frank Castle was in Gotham there would be two outcomes within one year. Frank would either be killed, or Gotham would be free of its psychos. Spidey wouldn't kill them, but the beatings that he would give many of the Batman rogues would make them think twice about doing crime once they got hit by him once. This should be obvious to anyone who thinks about it. I mean imagine Peter fighting the Penguin? he wouldn't be as smooth as Bruce, but would he have to be?

And that's not even accounting for Spidey's tech

I would think that escalation would be the name of the game either way. Bats would tech up in Spidey NYC as would the Gotham Baddies if Spidey came to town.

No they probably wouldn't because it's not their way, and Spiderman as i pointed out earlier isn't like Batman. He isn't as territorial as bruce, and would never lay claim to Gotham being his city, while on the other hand would have no problem teaming up with friends to remove the foul element of that city.

How would that ever happen in Gotham? Maybe if everyone started buying tech from Lex Luthor

Penguin sells alien tech, as does Intergang.

Yes, he would. Because I'll have you know, Oswald Cobblepot is a respected, legit businessman now*sqwack*.

Humour aside, the Penguin IS, for all intents and purposes, legit now. Peter beating him up? Bad move. Then he'd have to fight Gotham PD as well - and whilst I know he didn't exactly enjoy first name terms with the New York PD, Jameson aside, he was still largely a hero of the people.

There are some things you can't punch your way out of - Batman has a delicate touch when its needed. He has his networks of informants and spies (the Penguin, obviously, plus his own disguises etc etc) that Peter simply wouldn't have. He'd have to rebuild all his networks in NYC, sure, but he's done it before. Whereas Spidey just....webswings around until something catches his eye/hears it on the police scanner. SpOck at least had his spiderbots....but as we can see, they're not foolproof.

How is that the same? I mean which one of them Flash and which one is Daredevil?

Matt Murdock is Daredevil, Barry Allen is Flash.

True, sometimes they wear masks, hiding their features, but underneath, they are still the same character you saw a few panels back.
