fun video exploring what if batman and spiderman swap enemies

The only one Spider-Man doesn't beat is Poison Ivy.

I guess technically he gets hard stopped at Bat-Mite too but that doesn't count because Batman can't beat Bat-Mite either.

I'm sure both would have no issues if the writers choose it.

spidey could handle poison ivy just fine

No.

And no Spider-Man wouldn't be able to replicate Batman's trick here with his webs because her skin is covered in caustic poison that would destroy his webs that touched her instantly. Spider-Man's webs are rapidly biodegradable and you'd need something resistant to survive her acid long enough.

he does not need to web her up he can just punch her and knock her out with 1 punch

aw yes we all know how slow spider man is

and collapsing buildings are just a big no no for him yep

its not like he has actually fought INSIDE buildings falling down and come out unharmed or anything

A lot of Batmans enemies are just regular dudes without powers who are just very mentally ill. Spidey would obviously handle them with no issue

Cant watch the video at the moment but Im curious as to which Spidey villains would give Batman the hardest time. I imagine guys like Rhino or Lizard (think Killer Croc) would be much problem. Batman vs Kraven would probably be interesting

By running away. If he stays inside a collapsing building he's going to be seriously hurt.

He can lift about 50 tons I think. Anything heavier than that actually drops on him and he's going to be hurt.

And Ivy is a normal human in terms of durability trying to fight a guy who can overpower construction equipment.

Not entirely sure what the gigantic vines are supposed to do to Spidey, either. All it does is give him more things for maneuvering.

They're basically just straight better versions of Doctor Octopus tentacles. Can come from basically anywhere, can lift millions of pounds with ease, block millions of pounds of force, and have no defined size limit.

Rhino is way stronger than even Batman's worst... Not counting Bat-Mite or BWL adjacent bulls***. He can probably survive an encounter with rhino by dodging but short of sending him charging off a cliff like some looney tunes s*** Batman isn't going to win. And even if he does send Rhino off a cliff, that's just a temporary setback.

Eh

Batman pulls whatever nonsense he needs to. He could send him to the Phantom Zone, or drop a space station on him, or shoot him with that gun he killed Darkseid with. *shrugs* Heroes win. It's what they do.

Spidey would wreck Poison Ivy.

Im not saying she wouldnt give a great fight, but he would.

video creator does think rhino woudl give him trouble

but the big 4 he lists as a issue for batman are

carnage doc ock green goblin and kraven

kraven is mentioned as kraven is just as good at prep time as batman himself

i think thats a fair point but im a bit mixed on it personally as that fight is very much one where you have so many variables

Couldn't Batman just make some kind of loud sound generating device to neutralize Carnage? Symbiotes having such a major weakness like that would make it easy for someone like Batman to come up with a way to beat them them I think.

Unless they came up with some way to negate that weakness in the comics.

It's an interesting thought exercise. But idk, these days it's harder for me to separate power analysis from storytelling.

Batman would beat Spider-Man's villains because in that scenario Batman is the hero of the story. Power differential is irrelevant even discounting the prep-time meme. In an actual story, the characters would have goals and desires that affected their decisions, and there'd be a myriad of ways to choreograph the conflict that didn't necessitate a 1-on-1 melee.

In an arena death-match Batman realistically gets cremed, by any super-powered character. In an arena death-match, humans get stomped on by Godzilla. But the movie needs to end with Godzilla subdued and so the story is written in a way where the humans find a way. And so would be the same with Batman or any other character.

So, yeah, Batman loses these fights by any traditional comparison. But if "Batman vs Venom" or "Batman vs Doc Ock" were going to be serious stories, Batman wins.

I've not watched the video, but I'm a little confused that people talk about Batman having trouble with Rhino. More than one of his supervillains have super strength.

No.

the video actually goes into that

discussing how this devalues characters in a way

as villaines are created for their heros to fight in the first place

none of these are things batman has access to in this scenario

hell the darkseid thing is debunked in the video even

I stopped watching when he claimed Mysterio would be a threat to Batman

Yeah, but the ones that have strength typically have some kind of blatant weakness. For example, Batman often stops Bane by breaking his venom source. Rhino doesn't have that blatant weakness, there's no way to cut off Rhino's strength. And if you consider Bane literally broke Batman's back, a Bane that has no way to cut off his strength is clearly very dangerous.

while i do think batman could find away to beat rhino

none of batmans rogues have strength even close to the rhinos

His only weakness is that he's dumb which is something he shares with Rhino.

Mysterio is a Scarecrow that doesn't actually have to touch Batman to be effective, and we already know Scarecrow can be a threat.

While this is true, Rhino is dumb moreso in a way where he's very easy to anger/antagonize, which Spiderman can uniquely do due to his webs and speed/strength, which Batman lacks. Rhino isn't gonna just charge himself off a cliff, he's often egged into doing things, and then blinded by webs, etc. and so on. Batman doesn't have the capabilities to do that as easily as Spiderman does, due to the fact that, well, Spiderman is superhuman. And Rhino easily overpowers Spiderman, who is already superhumanly strong, so that puts him leagues above anything Batman has ever dealt with.
