Spider-man & Batman are different in powers true, but their character in experiences & villains are comparable, so let's explore that!

1) They're both orphans: Batman's parents infamous death by the hands of Joe Chill is a major event in Batman's life, similarly Spider-man's parents died in a mysterious plane crash. Both of these occurred while the heroes were young.



2) Family deaths caused inspiration: Batman & Spider-man both were inspired to become crime fighters after the death of Bruce's parents & Uncle Ben's death respectively.


3) Similarities with their rouges gallery:
Silvermane-Falcone (mob bosses of respected cities where the hero lives)
Kingpin-Black Mask (head bosses of crime underworld)
Green Goblin-Joker (greatest nemesis of hero, laughing gas, insane, etc.)
Doctor Octopus-Hugo Strange (once sane now insane masterminds)
Chameleon-Hush (expert identity thieves originally via detailed masks)
Lizard-Killer Croc (reptilian abilities & appearance)
Sandman-Clayface (shape manipulating abilities, accidental)
Black Cat-Catwoman (romantic interests & expert gymnast/thieves)
Prowler-Azreal (filled in for respected hero briefly, previous enemies)
Venom-Bane (stronger versions of their respected hero and lol at the irony)
Mysterio-Mad Hatter (mental manipulators & master illusionists)
Tombstone-Great White Shark (liaisons for crime underworld)

4) Tragic Events which greatly affected the heroes, caused by their greatest nemesis: Gwen Stacy's death at the hands of the Green Goblin & Jason Todd's death at the hands of the Joker.

I clicked on this article expecting idiotic points, but these are actually well thought out points. Great job man, you should continue this with other heroes.

Peter didn't see his uncle get shot, Bruce saw his parents get shot, so there really not that similar.

The similarities between the villains is kind of astounding I have never thought of that before. The Characters have similarities but they also have their differences like Spider-Man having real powers or Batman being rich and Spidey being poor.

You should do an editorial about the similarities between Superman and Goku because they are very identical figures.

I was so excited about this article, read through it and then realised that that was it. I wish you wrote more. This article actually had me read through it twice because of it's information.
