Who Has The Most Dangerous Rogues Gallery? Batman Or Spidey?

In which case, I don't see the point of the discussion at all. Parker is a metahuman, Batman isn't. You may as well ask whether Winnie the Pooh or God faces a more dangerous rogues' gallery.

There is a distinct and obvious difference between fighting some alone and in your own title and fighting someone as part of a team. I'm fully aware you can see the difference but at a loss as to how you can say it is an equivalent argument. Saying you "have" to include people bats fought as part of team cos we're mentioning people spidey fought solo is COMPLETELY illogical.

ALONE

TEAM

c'mon stop being obtuse about it.

I'm not being obtuse about it. Batman and Spider-Man are just two different types of heroes with two VERY different rogues gallery. And to compare them or have them compete is pretty pointless because it's going to be rather one sided. That was MY original point.

But if you're going to include the rogues who AREN'T Spider-Man's originally and he's happened to encounter them...then you have to include the Batman ones as well...whether it was solo or on a team. Batman is a little more team oriented than Spider-Man has, can't really help that...which also makes it tough for comparison, in my view.

But my whole view is just that it's not comparable. They are just very different in so many ways, but ultimately when it boils down to it they want the same thing out of what they do as heroes.

Ra's al Ghul is better than almost anything.

He's tremendously underrated. Apart from Dr Doom and maybe Lex Luthor, I can't think of any other non-cosmic villain with more power.

None of these villains have any powers. They basically are just crazy. Batman doesn't have powers either.

Now imagine that same picture with a non-powered Batman surrounded by the Spiderman rougues. :eek:
 
Yes, the picture would be less cool because Spiderpants' villains all look ****.
 
Aside from the obvious three in the picture who have powers.


I still give Spidey's list the nod.

Sure, Bat's has more psychotic/thought out killers. But Pete's gallery is just filled with a lot more power.

As for the picture, you cannot add Juggernaut and Doom. Those guys I'm pretty sure belong to the X-Men and FF's gallery respectively. You can't just add some other major villan that he's fought a handful of times. Then the Mandarin is the X-Men's enemy.

Batman certainly has much more twisted villans. Spider-Man just has much more powerful villans. In a cool calculated scenario, it's most likely most of Pete's villans would just be hired by the opposing side, so I'm assuming it's an up front fight. In which, I give it to Spider-Man's gallery.

Clayface and Poison Ivy have powers. :confused:
 
But neither of them are in that picture.
 
spike i love your avvy i have all those comics

but i think spideys villians would easily take it
because clayface is like chameleon

and juggernaut and venom carnage would just destroy joker and people like that
 
Poison Ivy - crazy-wicked plant control
Clayface - master of disguise and bringer of pain
Killer Croc - super strength, claws, teeth
Ra's al Ghul - near immortal (a power not contained within himself - but that hardly matters)
Scarecrow - fear/hallucination gas
 
I guess, when I think about it, both's enemies seem tough and mean.

But for raw evil, and planning on a long term scale to make bad things happen, I'd have to give the edge to Batman's enemies. I think that makes them more dangerous. Some of Spidey's bad guys will go through the streets and murder a dozen people. Joker might find it fun to wipe out hundreds.

As for a one on one brawl, yes, I guess Spidey's bad guys tend to be more powerful than Bats'. Doesn't make them more dangerous, though.
(Though for some reason I found Morulun pretty damn scary...)

spideys(imediate) villains more powerful
batmans more dangerous

question; who apart from hydorman can take down clayface?

Freeze is pretty tuff

Croc doesn't have super strength. He's just really, really tough. Unless his recent mutation did something to change that, but I thought the mutation was just limited to altering his appearance.

Electro, Venom, Carnage, Molten Man, Sandman, and a few others probably.

It seems that his stength and endurance has been massively boosted, too. Batman had to use explosives to take him down at their last meeting, which places his toughness somewhere near that of Solomon Grundy.
 
Woah. Haven't read that. That's kind of a drastic change to his character to go from being a simple side-show reptile man into being something like that.

I guess I stand corrected in that case.
 
But why'd you say "none of these villains have any powers" when some of them do? Huh? Huh!?

Yeah, that's what I thought. :cool:
 
I'm gonna go with Batman on this one. It's not about powers or anything. It's about the danger factor. Who is more dangerous? A guy with extreem elemental powers who puts on a silly costume and tries to rob a bank, or the guy with no powers, who wants to put a hazerdous chemical into a cities water supply because it's Tuesday?
 
Spider-Man wouldn't have much trouble with the Joker. Joker's main method of close range attack would be a joke gag type trap, and since Spidey can sense danger that wouldn't do much good.
As much as it pains me to say this as a Batfan, I don't think Batman would beat the Green Goblin. GG has the superstrenght, enhanced reflexes, agility and is highly intelligent. I mean, he can survive being shot, and Batman won't even go that far. Close range, GG would take it due to his strength. At best, Bats could do some damage to GG and his glider in his Jet.

I took both heroes's arch-enemies, but that's not to say ALL of Spideys rogues would beat Batman. For example, IMO, Batman wouldn't even break a sweat while kicking Doc Ock's tushy.
 
In my opinion Batman has the better and more dangerous enemies, but in a fight, most of them wouldn't last a second up against Spidey.
Bats would certainly hold his own but not necessarily beat, for example, Green Goblin, but he would without a doubt kick Doc Ock's tushy without breaking a sweat.
 
Spider-Man's.
Anyone of Spidey's nemesis could take out Batmans entire rogues gallery all at once.

Exactly!
 
Yeah? Would you rather have a guy chase you with a knife or with 3 gigavolt lightning bolts flying out his hands?
Have a fat guy twirl an umbrella at you or have a pumpkin bomb bouncing at your feet?
Ooo! A big stick with a question mark on the end! Yikes! Oh, wait! The 4 mechanical arms break that (and you) in half.

You have clearly never read a Batman comic.
