How Batman Would Defeat Every Spider-Man Villain

Aleksei Sytsevich was a Russian thug of low intelligence who was desperate to take care of his family. To do that, he underwent a series of procedures to bond him into a powerful suit of armor resembling a rhinoceros. Aleksei’s first assignment was to kidnap astronaut John Jameson for ransom. This brought him into contact with Spider-Man, who defeated Rhino with relative ease. Aleksei would find defeat at Spider-Man's hands repeatedly and make several attempts to shed the Rhino armor but circumstances continually pulled him back in.

Batman has a long history of dealing with larger-than-life foes that did not exactly tax the Dark Knight Detective’s intellect. This is one of those occasions where Batman’s long years of learning nearly every fighting style that exists on Earth (and a few that are literally out of this world) comes in handy.

The fact that Rhino is unable to change directions or stop quickly once he gets up to speed is an advantage that Batman could easily use, especially in the jagged and quickly turned streets of Gotham. If not running headlong into a building, Rhino could easily find himself running straight into the Gotham River or off one of Gotham’s many high rooftops.
