How Spider-Man Would Defeat Every Batman Villain

1. The Joker

Simply put, there is no single strategy to defeat the Joker. Batman knows the demented jester better than anyone, and yet, he barely beats him upon each encounter.

Although Spider-Man has the advantage in terms of strength, that's not enough. If Spidey wants to take the clown down, he'll need to get past a horde of goons, navigate around death traps, and face some heavy-hitters like Amygdala and Solomon Grundy.

Although Spidey can zip through booby-trapped rooms and beat an army of henchmen without breaking a sweat, he'll have to do a lot more to best Gotham's most infamous supervillain. If Spider-Man had Joker cornered, the insidious prankster wouldn't worry, since he always has another trick up his sleeve.

By exposing Spider-Man's friends to the Joker Toxin, the Clown Prince of Crime would force the Wall-crawler to choose who to rescue. If Spider-Man managed to save everyone, the Joker would activate a timed explosive to blow up a building full of hostages. It wouldn't matter if Spider-Man deactivated the bomb in time, because the Joker would have ten more schemes ready at the drop of a hat.

Even if Spider-Man caught up with the Joker and had him beaten and handcuffed, the chances of defeating him without suffering a single casualty are slim to none.
