Resolved: In a fight without prior preparation, Batman would certainly defeat Spider-Man.

In my opponent's first argument, he insinuates that Spider-man would not be able to utilize his superior physical attributes against Batman since he doesn't know how to fight, but as I've advocated in my third argument, Spider-man's fighting skills are praised even by Captain America. For instance, here a few feats that show his fighting capabilities to be deadly. First, watch as Spider-man manages to clobber the X-men all at once. They even point this out after he is done fighting them. http://img317.imageshack.us... http://img379.imageshack.us... Second, watch as Spider-man takes on the Punisher. Before reading, you should note that the Punisher is essentially Marvel's equivalent to Batman (although the same can be suggested for Daredevil). The Punisher knows many martial arts and relies on high tech gadgets (not to mention that unlike Batman, he is willing to kill), yet look how easily Spider-man manages to rip him a new one. http://img325.imageshack.us... http://img325.imageshack.us... Third, watch as Spider-man easily owns a master martial artist who also has super powers. http://img519.imageshack.us... Fourth, Batman could punch Spider-man with all his fury, but one of his punches would no doubt accomplish nothing: http://img57.imageshack.us... Noting these pieces of evidence, Spider-man's fighting style is clearly one that shouldn't be reckoned with. My opponent is incorrect in referring to him as someone with no real fighting skills. This covers my rebuttal for the first and third points. As for tactical weaponry, Spider-man has experience against foes who rely on it. His victories over the Green Goblin, Hob Goblin, the Punisher, and Allister Smythe are proof of this. As for Spider-man's intellect, my opponent commits the false dichotomy fallacy by claiming that it was learned at a basic college level. This is false as Peter Parker became Spider-man at the age of 15. And that's not even the best part. While 15, he managed to create an advanced chemical adhesive (his web fluid) as well as a device that works directly in proportion with his strength through merely using materials that can be found in a typical public high school laboratory. He also managed to create his famous Spider tracers (that pick up on the waves emitted by his Spider sense) or gravity inverters (primarily used to disable the Vulture) through using house hold materials. Peter Parker was always considered a genius and college hardly had anything to do with it. As for inventions which Spider-man would already have in stock to defeat Batman, his impact webbing is the first thing to come to mind as it is specialized webbing that instantly immobilizes its target. I can't think of anything else out of ordinary since Spider-man only uses certain gadgets against certain foes. Nevertheless, my point was to show his intellect. As for Spider sense, my opponent is yet again incorrect. Observe the following scan: http://img341.imageshack.us... He predicts the movement of each and every bullet from these AUTOMATIC machine guns. It is possible for Spider-man to get hit while taking full advantage of his spider sense, but he would have to be facing a foe who has developed a method of blocking the Spider sense or a foe who is simply too fast for Spider- man to deal with. Given that the resolution clearly states that no prior preparation is involved, Batman would have no means of preparing a counter against Spider-man's spider sense. Furthermore, my opponent has conceded that Batman is merely an olympic level hero, so speed won't be an advantage either. As for having Robin around, this match concerns Spider-man and Batman (thus outside help is out of the question). Furthermore, the resolution insures that Batman cannot prepare for the battle. This is a random encounter. Calling upon the Bats won't do Batman any good especially if Spider-man simply relies on his spider sense to detect Batman's movements at all times. Using the Bat mobile or Bat plane (assuming he'd have time to get inside either) wouldn't do Batman any good as Spider-man's impact webbing could clog all of the weapons on board. Spider-man could simply clog the engines in either vehicle if he wanted to. At the very least, Spider-man could use his super strength to tear apart both vehicles. Heck, Spider-man could simply pick up the Bat mobile and chug it into a nearby abandoned building. So based on the evidence an arguments presents, we conclude that Batman certainly WOULDN'T be the victor in a match against Spidey. Spider-man has super strength and an extraordinary fighting style. Not to mention that Spider-man merely needs to land one blow (without pulling his punches as much as he usually does) on Batman to take him out. Either that, or merely webbing Batman to lamp post (as if he were a common crook) with a potent batch of webbing would do the trick. You should keep in mind that it is my opponent's job to show that Batman would certainly (as in beyond the notion of a doubt) defeat Spider-man in a battle without prior preparation. So far, he has not done so. I now await my opponent's second rebuttal.
