Hmm.. Interesting...
To compare, both Spiderman and Batman are adept fighters and great heroes. However, one must take into consideration the fact that one has powers and the other does not. I guess you could argue that the various iterations of 'Batmen' over the years have faced many foes with solely intelligence, strategy, and gadgets. Spider Man on other hand was [is] a nerdy 16 year old kid with epic arachnoid powers, and has seen a lot despite his age. To better decide, it'd be best to go into detail about this. By the way, I've decided to look beyond just who would win in a fight between the two.
Let's see. I'll start with...
Batman
Over the years we've watched Batman aka Bruce Wayne defend Gotham City from criminals ranging from the psychotic Joker to the toxic beauty Poison Ivy. And while there is no superpower attached to the hero that has become known to all as the Dark Knight, he does well for himself. I mean, he manages to dispatch dangerous criminals as Batman and return the next day to his role as Bruce Wayne, the wealthy philanthropist and playboy. His abilities include genius-level intelligence, honed deductive reasoning (due to being a master detective), honed physical strength and martial arts, and an assortment of hi-tech gadgets and weaponry. As you can see, he makes up for his lack of superpowers by utilizing his superior intellect - he sports a whopping IQ of 192. He's taken down criminals whose bodies have been genetically and/or chemically altered giving them abilities that range from superhuman strength (Bane) to the ability to secrete deadly toxins (Poison Ivy) to cryokenesis (Mr. Freeze) to superior malleability (Clayface), so he's well-versed when the odds are against him. Keep in mind this was all accomplished with intelligence alone. In terms of strength and endurance, after mentioning the above villains, it's no one's guess that he's able to take a hit. He is also no stranger to hand-to-hand combat and does not hesitate to use it when the situation arises. When martial arts skills are not enough, he employs the use of hi-tech gadgets that have over the years become more and more advanced. His accomplishments have expanded beyond his Gotham City exploits. He co-founded the Justice League, of which (in some iterations) he has become leader; not to mention the challenges that come with the territory of said role.
Spider Man
Spider Man, also known as Peter Parker was a highly intelligent high school teen. He was bitten by a genetically altered spider during a science exhibition, which had a tremendous effect on his body. He gradually began to gain superhuman abilities that include super-strength, speed, agility, and endurance; as well as the arachnid abilities such as the ability to cling to most surfaces, web shooting, and heightened senses akin to a spider - spider sense; not to mention he has genius level intelligence, and is a well-versed hand-to-hand combatant (mostly due to his powers). He also has the ability to heal (somewhat). An unfortunate turn of events is what prompts Peter Parker to take on the role as Spider Man and put his powers to good use. His modus-operandi differs from that of Batman's, as he can be seen at any time of day dispatching criminals, albeit he prefers the shade of night in many instances. He uses strong webs as a means of transport between the skyscrapers of New York. The villains he's faced range from the wily trickster Green Goblin to the vile, twisted Venom. Most of the villains he's faced, for the most part, have had some forms of superhuman abilities that rival or surpass his own. However, he's had close calls, but in the end he prevails. His role as hero has led him beyond New York. He's even been transported to alternate dimensions and once attempted to join the Fantastic Four.
The Verdict
Ugh... This is a tough decision. To start, both these guys are from different brands of comics. I personally am a fan of Marvel over DC any day - for so many reasons. As I've stated above, I admire them both as heroes. However, they both have strengths...and weaknesses. *sigh* Despite what I said about Marvel, I have to go with Batman. I've always Batman as a kid. Becoming a detective was a dream of mine growing up. I also seem to gravitate to "darker characters." Batman has so many traits that I admire over Spider Man. He combines brains and brawn to defeat his foes, and he does it all in one night. He's also my total opposite in terms of looks and all that [noparse]
[/noparse]. Simply put, his "to good to be true-ness" is what I admire most about him and drives me to - in a way- want to be him. Sorry Peter...
EDIT: Also this:
Well, Spider-Man would give Batman a good fight but would fail at the end. Batman is more experienced and is also mentally, physically, and educationally trained. Batman is always two steps ahead of his enemies. Yeah Spider-Man has the "spider sense" thingy but that doesn't really help him much. It just tells him that's there's danger around and not where the danger is coming from. Spider-Man is also stronger than Batman but strength doesn't really give Spider-Man the upper hand since brawn never really beats brains. Which Batman has tons more of than Spider-Man. Batman's skills, knowledge, and gadgets aretoo much for Spider-Man.
And of course, this.
