1. Peter Parker is trendier and hipper than Bruce Wayne:

For example, Peter Parker embraces revealing himself to the world, his villians, etc. He doesn't care about the ramifications. He is a true rebel. Bruce Wayne is rigid and thinks his actions out in advance. Peter thinks "outside of the box." Batman is not hip enough to unmask himself in front of the world if Steel told him too, for example. Even more, Alfred wouldn't encourage him to do that either-he too is overly rigid and not trendy. Aunt may is cutting edge...better than Dear Abby when you need life changing advice.


2. Spider-Man enjoys sitting back and enjoying things around him in life while Batman is too wound up.

For example...Spidey is more interested at sitting back and being in awe of the other heroes around him. Despite living in NY and having seen them all for the past 30 years of his life, he still finds time to appreciate sitting back and smelling the coffee when they're around him. Batman on the other hand is missing out on these finer things. He doesn't find time to sit back and marvel at the intricasies of his fellow heroes. Instead, Batman is too busy plotting ways to take down his friends if they ever need to be. Again, he is way over thinking this and wound too tight. Thus, Batman is going to die of highblood pressure at an earlier age while Spidey will live to a fine old age where he'll be better able to admire the other heores long into his nursing home days.


3. Spideys missing kid stays gone while Batman has his nagging him .

Who wants to read stories about a hero and their kid. Spidey is just Spider-Man-no tag-alongs. Batman is kinda like an old man with a bunch of tag-a-longs. He has Robin(s) running around all over the place at various stages in their lives and now a demented little kid who needs the Supernannys intervention. Again, it is enough to run up his blood-pressure while Spidey can be more carefree-not worrying about his kid.-Gives him more time to admire the other heroes instead.

4. Spidey lets go of the past while Batman grips it too tightly.

For example...It doesn't matter if Spidey defeats Juggernaut yesterday...and then faces Paste Pot Pete the next and loses. He doesn't keep track of who he has beaten and who he hasn't. He takes on each bad guy with a clean slate. Never one to be cocky, he is ok with being beaten sorely by lesser baddies even though he can defeat bigger ones. Batman on the other hand...he knows who he has handed a defeat, and he relishes it. He lets others know he's kicked their butts and he'll do it again. I mean...let it go Batman...let it go! Spidey is more like the loveable Buffalo Bills...he loses the games he should win and wins the games he shouldn't. No rhyme or reason. Sign of a loveable underdog and an american sweetheart.


(more to come...?!.....)
 
So what you're trying to say is Batman is sexually frustrated while Spidey isn't? Makes sense to me. Batman probably needs prep time when he's with a lady. Not Spidey though. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Spider-Man is a mutha ****ing P-I-M-P!
 
Spidey is better, but Batman is easily cooler.

Plus his film didn't suck.
 
Are you saying you are one of the few who don't rate the Spidey films Electro?
(like me)

I've always thought Batman was easily the second greatest/coolest Superhero ever.
 
Spider-man is way cooler than Batman. He has a better origin, a better story, a better costume (2 better costumes, actually), and he is just easier for the reader to relate with than a billionaire playboy who can't let a woman get in close to him, but can let twenty or so kids in spandex hang with him in his cave.

Yes....Spidey rules.
 
Batman is way cooler, and I've been a Spidey fan all my life. I'm not here to say who's the better hero or who's got the better rogues gallery. But Bat's don't need powers to deal with his enemies, thats ballsiness right there for ya. Adding to that, he's a billionaire, he has his own signal, a bunch of cars, boats, tanks and airplanes, a rogues gallery where he constantly shacks up with Talia and Catwoman, and at one point fathers both of their illegitimate children. And the coup de grace, he forces underage children to work for him as crime fighters, and than when they die, he makes a trophy out of their costume for the Bat cave
 
And no offense to the original poster, but those might be the absolute worst examples I've ever seen:

1. Revealing your identity to the world, after Iron Man, of all people talks you into, and completely ignoring the ramifications does not make you smart. It makes your wife dead, and causes you to be sued for millions of dollars. Awesome!

2. I don't think Pete's going to be sitting in a coffee shop, enjoying lower Manhattan anytime soon pal, although I'm sure Bruce can still take in a few social parties in between all the paranoia and mistrust

3. Yay for stillborns!

4. Spidey: "Oh no, not the bridge again! I have to stop her gradually without the shock, YA I DID IT! (repeat for next story arc)

Plus, if you had no powers and you punched Superman and Darkseid in the face, who exactly wouldn't you tell
 
#5 Spider-Man gets his controversys dealt with/revamped while Batman is stuck with his.

For example, Marvel allows people like Aunt May or MJ to bite the dust, thus ending things such as marriage controversys, thus making Spider-man a better character overall. Batman has plenty of controversys that need to be ended yet they continue to plod onward with them...such as the highly famed Batman/Butler Controversy of 2006 and the ongoing Batman/Batmobile Controversy. Statistics plainly show that trucks are much more popular than cars and that the batmobile makes Batman appear more like a girly city guy. When will he finally get the bat-truck he deserves? Surely a man who c punched Superman or Darkseid in the face deserves a 4x4. Even more so, Marvel resolved the Spidey "car controversy" YEARS ago (admittantly tho, and shockingly, Joey Q. has yet to institute the spidey-man 4x4)...so CLEARLY Spider-man comics are light years ahead of Batman, since Bruce still is driving that same ol' silly car. Spidey at least has moved ON from that phase in his life.


#6 Spidey has better hair than Batman!

For example, with the revamped totem-pole powers origin, Spidey has chest hair and arm hair that can determine the direction of breezes underground and even the wind above! Bruce Wayne had chest hair once but shaved it off because it didn't tell him anything. And hey, money can't buy intelligent hair. Even more, the hairs on the back of Pete's neck sometimes rise along with his Spidey sense to warn him of danger just seconds before it happens. Bruce Wayne's neck hair couldn't raise if it wanted to, because of the heavy rubber cowl he wears over his neck. Clearly, Spidey's hair raises him to levels of coolness far beyond that of Batman.


(and yes guys....these are tongue in cheek and sarcastic, even of my favorite character.....sheesh...some people just don't get subtle humor...LOL...)....No offense taken citizenkaine! :woot:
 
Spidey cooler in comics and movies.

Batman cooler in Animated series.
 
Batman DID have a cool cartoon!

On a side note...Justice LEague Season One (out on dvd right now) is by far the best I've ever seen tho...as far as superhero animated series go...and i've watched them all. It is just unbelievably good.

I can only imagine if they had a Marvel Unlimited kinda cartoon like that..that would be a dream come true! I would love to see a well done, animated series showcasing all the characters in the MArvel world who are even better than DC's....imo...

Now back to this thread in progress........
 
Spider-man is a better hero and he is a true underdog just trying to find his way in a sense.

Batman is bad ass and kick ass in every respect and is cooler.. Hes a billion dollar playboy after all:)

In my opinion though Spider-man>batman

batman is my second favourite hero though.

I totally agree-- Justice League Unlimited is AMAZING! I would love to see Bruce Timm and co. tackle the Marvel Universe and Spidey in particular.
 
Batman is much cooler then Spidey. I like both Spidey and Batman, but to me, Batman is much cooler. He has a kick ass car, is a complete dick to everyone (which I love), he's a total pimp, much more so then Spidey and for a guy with no powers, he does a damn good job of fighting crime.

Never liked em no, the first was boring, and the second was even worse.

But Batman Begins, now that's a movie :up:
 
My two favorite heroes of all time.

Both of them completely rock.

:spidey: :batman: :up:
 
spider-man is not cool....

and certainly not as cool as bruce wayne....

he's more reader friendly and i supposed is probably liked more than many other heroes by his peers in his universe but pound for pound what batman does gets him more respect than all other heroes and to do that without powers is too cool.

think of it this way, could spidey stand against wonderwoman and superman as a founder of the justice league?

psssshhhh...

this actually brings a fair question

I wonder who would have the easier job, whether it would be spidey if he had to tussle with the joker or if batman had to deal with the green goblin...
 
Both of em rule to high heavens, but that tired "Batman can beat anyone in a fight" thing annoys me to no end. Spider-Man would run circles around him.
 
And besides the fact that Spidey has eaten more eyeballs....we move onto...

Reason #7: Batman needs to rely on his utility belt while Spidey no longer needs to rely on his utility bracelets (webshooters.)

Spidey is so cool, he no longer has to wear those web shooter bracelets or remember to fill them or even mix up a new batch of "web-um". Now he can just squirt what he needs endlessly out of his wrists on demand!! Batman still has to wear his belt and remember to pack the batarangs or else he is up poops-creek when he fights his next rogue. So, until Batman can squirt Batarangs out of his abdomen...Make Mine Spidey!!

(and just wait...when JMS or Joey Q. move onto DC, they'll prolly implement this!!)
