I have to throw my vote in for Spider-Man despite the fact that this is one of the best versions of Batman in existance.

One of the main arguments used for Batman, no matter wich one or the opponent is his intelligence and analytical skill. This is what leads him to be known as one of the greatest detectives in the DC unniverse. He has often been shown to be able to take down heroes much stronger than him (Sucha s superman or other justice league members) though careful planning, last minute solutions, and simple quick thinking. This is widely regarded as Batman's Strongest attribute, his greatest strength. However despite his analytical abillity and intelligence, Parker is not nearly as far behind as most of Batman's opponents. Drayco said it perfectly "Batman may be smart, but you over rate his intelligence in comparison- the difference between the two men in brains is not that great" Parker has a genius level intellect (that he did use on various occasions on this show while figuring out ways to defeat his enemies) and if batman brings any surprises to the table, parker should have no trouble regestering the threat (without spidey sense) and dealing with is appropriately. This essentially means that Batman's greates strength wouldn't help him nearly as much as it would normally. So while Batman retains the edge for his analytical capabillites, it is no where near enought to give him the match.

Then it come to the physical, were it is no contest. Only a purely physical level Batman would have no chance. Spider-man has strength far beyond the super-human minimum. He also has extreme dexterity and perfect balance. This three together easily counteract Batman's fighting skill. Then comes Batman's gadgests and such. Batman comes equipped with so many different gadgets or helpful items ranging from smoke pellets to lasers and the like, as well as things like the batarangs and grappling hooks. However Spider-man does have a leg up on things such as the batarangs (be they explosive or not) thanks to his spider-sense. His spider-sense will give him a "heads up" before it is ever a danger to his life. Of course Spider-man always has his webs (which were very inconsistent in the show) which will simply provide another dynamic to the table.

Batman will have trouble keeping up with Spider-man in this fight. He has beaten eneimes far stronger than him before but always indirectly or through preparedness, neither of which he'll be able to pull off here. Spider-man is not only stronger faster and more agile, but isn't that far behind in intelligence. THe Spider-Sense is aslo a game changer, allowing him instant warning of any threat beforehand. Batman won't be thrown out entirely though, he is an expert fight and has some tough experince to back it up. This is a close match but Spider-man should take it. (I had to curtail my vote alot, I may addmore later.)

However, I can't see this ending any way other than a co-operation at the end, much to Batman's annoyance at having him around.
