Batman? Who cares about Batman. Spider-Man all the way   Sunday, October 6, 2002 (10:19 a.m.) 

Spider-Man is different to Batman, and it has to be really. You can't just have two things the same. And Spider-Man ultimately suceeds where it can do what Batman couldn't do, use more hi-tech advances to make the villain decidedly evil, and the superhero amazing. His repetition of certain themes leave the audience under no illusions that this is immense. And it complents the film so well. It should be no wonder that this seems to be above what Batman could do. All in all it is a great film and a great score. As scores go this could take some beating. Batman doesn't even come close to this. And nor do many others he's composed. Comparing this to Batman is like composing it to David Arnold's bond. An unfair unjust comparison.

Batman is just as good as Spider-Man, they are both class. It would be foolish to diss Batman though

Nothing Wrong with Comparing   Sunday, October 20, 2002 (5:31 p.m.) 

There is nothing wrong with comparing Batman and Spider-man. They were both composed by Elfman and are both movies based on comic books.

This comment above is both asinine and void of common sense. Why start comparing technology when Spider-Man was made a decade after Batman? If you have even the slightest clue about technology (which I assume you don't based on your Neanderthal logic), it changes easily with each passing year. Spider-Man had that advantage. And please, don't compare these two movies. Batman set the standard for comic book to movie transitions after a long hiatus from Superman and its ugly sequels. Spider-Man was okay at best with a lazy score written by Elfman.
