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.
