If Batman and Spider-Man traded cities for one month, what would happen?
- Thread starter GAMEPROFF
- Start date
Wouldn't marvel characters be concerned spider-man had been replaced by a far more violent vigilante?
Crime would go up in both.
Spidey would be surrounded by fucking maniacs.
Batman would be overrun by super powered villains.

Thats why Gothams Crimes goes down.
A) Batman would be taken down on day two by someone with powers and
B) Spidey would punch most of Batmans Villains into hospital because they are mostly mobsters
Spider-Man dealt on multiple occassions with maniacs like Carnage or the Jackal.
Spider-Man doesn't really chase after small crime, because he's too busy with school/wife/delivering pizzas/etc. NYC also doesn't really fear him.
Gotham City not only fears Batman, but he actively tries to bring crime down as both Batman AND Bruce Wayne. He's dedicated.
NYC would probably be clean in a couple months.

Spider-Man is already surrounded by maniacs... most of them hella super-powered
I think spidey would be bewildered by some of his villains like the joker.
I don't know much about Spider-Man outside of the movies, but I know Gotham's worst villains showed up after Batman.
Edit; I'd be curious to see a version of Batman with the venom suit.

He beat him once with success.
Also Carnage isnt that much worse.
Carnage is joker with super powers and no romantic inclination to not actually want to kill his rival
You can't punch Gotham's problems away and having non-occult based super powers in that city is just going to create bigger problems.
Cletus Cassidy is an idiot.
I mean, Gotham is cursed, so Peter won't be able to help. Honestly, Peter might just get killed or something.
Every storyline where Batman disappears from Gotham of a while mentions how Gotham's crime rate skyrockets. Apparently the mythology of Batman in Gothem sever as a control valve of sorts to Gotham's crime rate. That never happens when Spider-Man is away from New York.
They would both suffer initially.
Spider-Man does a lot of punching for his villains. Bruce does a lot of Sleuthing.
Neither of them would be ready for the shock.
That said, they would adapt quickly. Science heroes do very well in the Marvel Universe so Batman would just up his tech to meet the challenge.
And Spider-Man physically outclasses most of Batman's villains, so he can keep punching.

Batman somehow dusting Carnage with his bare hands was Lobo v. Wolverine levels of comic nonsense.
Still an idiot, though. You're talking about two different skill sets. Peter being able to beat the shit out of Joker is irrelevant. Bruce can too. The bigger problems arise from the shit he's actually trying to accomplish.
Which is all beside the point because the question isn't "Could x beat y's villains", it's whether or not crime would go down. It wouldn't. Peter does not have the necessary skillset or connections to handle that city. Working in it for a single night had Supergirl exhausted.
Batman really sucks at protecting "his city" from a bunch of people who are mostly just normal people with gimmicks
It actually did but the comparison is unfair since there are almost more superheroes in new york then normal people and Batman doesnt shares his city.
Batman isn't incapable of dealing with villains that have super-powers lol
Like, there's a bunch of bullshit science that is available in the Marvel Universe that Batman can use, he isn't just going to trade punches with Carnage.
This is basically going to be a less maniac Superior Spider-man scenario.

I see people overhype Batman like always...
One hit from almost ANY of Spidey's villains will end him. Bruce already struggled against Bane; that dude is a rip-off discount version of a defect Rhino.
Gotham's biggest threat is Joker, and there's no way he'll have the same sort of relationship to Peter that he does to Batman. Meaning his psych game will be a lot less effective, which is basically what he relies on. Everyone else is nothing Spidey hasn't seen or dealt with before.
Also the "everyone is afraid of Batman!" wank is laughable. Venom, Carnage, and Kraven are gonna be scared of him? No way in hell.

Thats what makes it imo less interesting, due to the bigger similarities
Gotham is exceedingly cursed. You notice I keep mentioning Peter having powers as being a problem. The City has an immune response.
Peter's gonna fuck around and create a super powered threat he can't deal with.
Crime up in Both. Batman without his gear caches and deep knowledge of the city would be unable to cope with the supers.
Spiderman would struggle alone against some of the harder to trace enemies Batman faces due to lesser detective powers.

Can't see Batman having much more of an effect. He's just another night prowler along with the likes of Daredevil, and Punisher. I could see Spider-Man, not bullshit ass kid Spider-Man but 80s -90s Peter in the black suit not just freaking people villains out but disabling them even the strong ones quicker and more efficiently than Batman does.
