Ah, sorry. It's been a while since I watched the first Spiderman movie.

That changes everything then. Let's revise that last paragraph a little:

DEADLIEST WARRIOR: NORMAN OSBORN

Osborn utterly dominates in three out of five edges, and takes another without too much difficulty. Osborn completely outclasses the Dark Knight in terms of weaponry. There are only two things that keep this fight from being unfair: Batman's EMP gun, and his Batpod. Let's not also forget that in order to use it, he'd have to pause, aim, and fire, which didn't appear to be a quick process when Batman used this EMP gun on a motorcycling robber. Considering that Osborn is riding such a fast glider, I'd be surprised if he managed to unllify him before getting blown up by a Pumpkin bomb. Let's first picture the scenario that Batman is unable to get Osborn with his EMP gun:

The outcome of this battle is really decided on whether or not Batman will be able to make clever use of his Batpod. He has shown to have quite a few tricks up his sleeve, but really most of it has involved other things at his level, and like I mentioned before, it's quite unlikely that Osborn will be silly enough to get that low down if he's still using his glider. Though Batman will likely be aware of this, and know that in order to win, he'll have to lure him into a place where Osborn will have to not fly so high above him, and possibly pull some trick in some open building with a low ceiling. Even supposing the Glider was at the Batpod's level, there's still no guarantee that he can still beat him. The glider still has some very good autopilot functions, so the Goblin could distract Batman while the Glider sneaks behind and goes in for the kill. Taking down the Green Goblin even in a lowceiling building will still ont be an eays task. Sometimes outright superior technology will out-do you no matter how cleverly you use it.

Now let's picture the scenario that Batman get's Osborn with his EMP: Batman might have a possible chance at nullifying some of Green Goblin's highly superior gadgets, but even then, his super-human strength will remain, and strong armor will still be a factor. Batman's only possible chance at still putting up a fight even under the circumstances that he nullifies what he can would be if he were able to be quick and clever with his Batpod. Even then, I still don't think that the Batpod's guns could do much damage to Osborn's armor. Osborn will simply outlast Batman, I thnk. Once Batman's either away from or knocked off his vehicle, he's done for. Anything Batman can throw at him after that is going to be outright useless. I'm changing my vote to Norman Osborn.

Thanks for correcting that oversight, Pach.
