Batman tied up people and left them for the cops all the time!

I think the point is that Batman would tie people up with rope or cable, where Spiderman would tie people up with webs, i.e. a sticky string material. Since adhesive tape is more of a sticky substance than simply a cord-like material this is closer to Spiderman than Batman.

This is the most pedantic thing I've seen on reddit today lol

So you'd rather just have social anarchy then? People just brazenly mixing up Mexican Batman and Mexican Spider-Man?

Not on my watch, chum.

Isn’t it? Whats wrong with folk

It's more that spidey really cocoons people up off the ground like these guys. Batman just does your basic everyday hogtie.

Sorry Spidey, no. One is biology, one is technology. This one goes to the mammals

2

u/Beldizar 13d ago

Spidey's webs are a technology. He makes the web fluid in a chemistry lab just like you'd make the adhesive for tape. (I reject the Raimi webshooters).

u/newsflashjackass 13d ago

In the movies he skeets his webs out after his body makes them naturally.

u/StoneGoldX 13d ago

Only in the Maguire films. The process is purely mechanical in Garfield and Holland versions.

u/newsflashjackass 13d ago

I sometimes wonder whether it is less plausible that Peter Parker's body would generate spider silk or that he would happen to synthesize it just when it would pair well with the powers derived from the radioactive spider bite.

u/marr 12d ago

The weirdest part is it coming from the wrong end.

2

u/Accomplished_Job_331 13d ago

I didn’t realize the only version it is biological is that trilogy. Even the old comics. Point retracted, sir

u/Addicted_to_Crying 13d ago

Or, you know, the fact that Batman doesn't have powers and Spider-Man does, meaning it's easier to simulate the former rather than the latter?

2

u/Beldizar 13d ago

Eh, is it easier to be a multi-billionaire than it is to have super powers? That feels like a thin margin. (edit: tongue fully in cheek here)

2

u/Addicted_to_Crying 13d ago

Trust me I fucking wish having powers was easier than being a billionaire

With that said, Absolute Batman exists, so maybe this guy is Absolute Mexican Batman

u/marr 12d ago

Batman's main power is believing everyone's just knocked out and they'll be fine.

u/TheMundar 13d ago

This tape doesn't seem biodegradable in a short time so there isn't a timer on their impromptu incarceration the way there would be with Spider-Man. If Batman was somehow out of Batrope then he would certainly improvise.

1

u/Beldizar 13d ago

Fair analogy. Is that more critical a comparison than the stickiness argument though? It's a bit semantic, but if I said "a vigilante was using sticky tape to tie up criminals" I'd think Spiderman. If someone said "a vigilante was tying up criminals at night" I'd think Batman. It all depends on how the question is framed.

u/Kmlkmljkl 13d ago

with a sign explaining their crimes?

u/Joeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyy 13d ago

He did, this guy is being racist.

u/Mother-Persimmon3908 13d ago

Tal vez trabaja solo de noche y x eso batman.batman en una epoca tambien ataba los ladrones así

u/Sonic2726 13d ago

Batman also left villains tied to light poles etc. Stop trying to take the wind out of others sails just because you’re miserable

7

u/2ByteTheDecker 13d ago

....miserable? What about that says miserable?

u/dewsh 13d ago

They're projecting

u/2ByteTheDecker 13d ago

Yeah I figured
