Warning: This is nothing more than a high school essay that i wrote for class credit...get off it!BATMAN VS. SPIDERMAN Why do people like Spiderman? Well, no one really knows why. But what’s easier to say is why people like Batman. This superhero is loved by millions of fans around the world. But to be reasonable, there are also millions of devoted fans of Spiderman as well. Batman is by far better than “Spiderman” because he is smarter, has a better costume, and has better resources. First of all, Batman is better than Spiderman because he’s smarter. Batman’s alter-ego “Bruce Wayne” is a wealthy business man who owns a multi-million dollar corporation and a some odd 20 plus bedroom mansion. Also, he invents every single gadget he uses in combat. Spiderman’s alter-ego “Peter Parker” is nothing more than a college student or a high school teacher or whatever you want to think. This clearly shows that Bruce Wayne has not only years of experience under his belt, but the intelligence to handle way more responsibility that Peter Parker. Also, Peter Parker still lives with his Aunt. Second of all, Batman is better than Spiderman because his costume is better. Batman’s costume is not only black with a cape and his signature Batman symbol on his chest, but it actually has alternations to it that help him in the line of duty. For example, his costume is fire-proof, bullet-proof, and fits quite well in the washer machine. Also, he has a cape that allows him to fly (Along with a reinforced grappling gun), Sharpened wrist blades and killer boots. Spiderman’s on the other hand is nothing more than blue and red tights with a spider in the middle. Nothing special about it, which makes it easy to shoot, stab, burn, crush, slap, staple, and back into with your car. |

I would say Batman is better than Spiderman because he is a much more complex and fascinating characters. It's easier to write a great Batman story than a great Spiderman story, because the character and its world are so rich. Plus, Batman has by far the best rogues gallery in comics. And it's costume actually has a purpose.

I hope your teacher gave you a big fat F for this childishly, offensively written piece of rubbish. I usually never take part in these ridiculous versus threads, but this one is the most ridiculous one I've seen, and the fact you actually handed this in as a school assignment is laughable. And Batman and Spidey are my two fav heros.

I'm pretty sure using the term "Spider ***" bumps you down a grade or two.
Or at least that's how it was when I went to High School back in the '70s.

I was under the impression that Batman invented very few of his gadgets. The origional batmobile was an urban assault vehicle that he took from the Waynetech military armaments department shortly after shutting it down. All subsiquent vehicles were built by Harold and later Toyman II. His flashbangs and other gas bombs/explosives could be easily purchased, and are most likely purchased. The only weapons I know he makes himself are the batarangs, and all that requires is a good knowledge of airodynamics and someplace to cut metal.

i dont see why you had to take apart his WHOLE essay and make a big deal about it. That shows us that you have no life and too much time on your hands to do what you did. Anyways besides my point.... Batman will forever kick spider-mans @$$.

You went to the trouble of making a thread to show off your little essay. I suppose you were expecting a string of one line responses saying "That rocks. You are so right. Spidey is totally teh gay" ![]() I swear people who make these versus threads feel threatened somehow by the greatness of the hero they're trying to bash. Quote:

this is actually a well thought out and well executed essay that proves without a shadow of a doubt that The Batman is better than Spider ***.

you expect all of us including me to use "proper" choice in words. we're jus trying to make it short and simple. all of you "geeks" on here posting all these long and stupid replies have way to time and thouht into all of this. you tell us how he failed. to me i think there is no failure at this. everyone has their own opinion about who is better in what ways. he stated why batman was better in his own way. are other friend stated spider-man was better in his own way. i've plenty of topics about batman vs. spider-man and i've seen other people state why batman or spider-man are better in their own ways.

Batman is my favorite character.That said, I'm a big Spidey fan.Why does there have to be a "better"?Why can't each character be appreciated for the Icon of American culture that they are. It's this juvenile mentality that brings these boards down. |

If you're going to criticize Spider-Man, you had damn well better know what you're talking about. Clearly, you don't.
I mean, I've always thought Spider-Man was overrated, but I'm not going to make an idiot of myself on the internet to try to prove a point. |

I love that he mentions that Bruce Wayne invents all of the gadgets he uses in combat, then conveniently leaves out that Peter Parker invented his webshooters and web fluid at age 16.
![]() EDIT: I'm curious as to what grade this poster is in - that wouldn't pass muster in any high school class I ever attended. |

why are you worried about what grade he is in? it doesnt matter what grade he is in. and why are you SO worried about our grammar on here. its just a forums page. its not like this is for school or anything. maybe we dont want to type out the whole word. oh and btw, this is an opinion essay buddy. it's his own opinion why batman is better than spider-man.

If it's his (or.. your) opinion, then it shouldn't be displayed as facts. And while his opinion that Batman is better than Spider-Man might be his, the other things he states are absolutely wrong and show that he has no knowledge about either character.

There's a lot of misinformation in that essay.
The first line is already wrong. Why do people like Spider-Man? Um, I think that's a lot easier of an answer as to why people like Batman. Nor is it a well kept secret why people like Spider-Man. This is weird for me because I really like both characters equally, and can identify heavily with their situations. I lost my father at the age of 13, which really makes it identifiable with Peter Parker, losing his father figure at the age of 15/16. Peter is no slouch as a scientist. He created his own webshooters and web-fluid. Also he has helped in the creation of many serums to cure his villains, like The Lizard, and help his sick Aunt May when she was infected with a virus, due to Spidey's radioactive blood. I dare you to read that Spider-Man story and then tell me Bruce Wayne is smarter than Peter. And this is when he was still relatively early in his career as Spider-Man. As I said in the thread in the Spidey forum. They're basically apples and oranges. Peter is smart in the scientific field. Batman may not be a hardcore scientist but the guy has amazing deductive reasoning skills and a high intelligence. Spider-Man is more light hearted. He cracks jokes and tries to keep his villains off their toes with it. Batman is more dark, silent and to the point. Well, the more CURRENT incarnation of Batman is like that. Some versions of Batman are pretty out there from left field, heh. In an actual fight, depending on circumstances I think Spider-Man would probably defeat him at first, but Batman isn't going to go down without some kind of fight. Batman has the ability to take down Superman. Heck, Batman has taken out an Amazo robot before. He's got skills and could DEFINITELY give it to Spidey. But they are just two very different superheroes but do share the same views on their villains, and they also have kick ass rogues gallery. If anything they'd make a great team up if you ask me.
