OK, two of my favorite characters going head to head. Let's see:
BATMAN: Pros - Master martial artist, cunning, stealthy and sneaky. Carries a Bat-ton of gadgets and weaponry. Expert strategist and planner. Can and will fight dirty if need be.
Cons - No super powers, normal human at peak physical condition. Regular human weaknesses (not buletproof, etc.).
SPIDER-MAN: Pros - Proportionate strength (can press at least 10 tons), speed, and reflexes of a spider. Wall crawling ability. Faster and more agile than a normal human (can dodge bullets). Spider-sense alerts him of danger, meshed with his fighting style making him difficult to hit.
Cons - It's been established he'll hold back from using his full power when fighting due to fear of crippling or killing an opponent. Carry-over guilt from his Uncle Ben's death.
Truth be known, this fight could go either way. Batman has an edge based on his years of experience (he's likely older than Spidey), which would cause him to research and plan for damn near any eventuality if he knew he was going to fight Spidey. This could involve traps of a physical or psychological nature (playing on Spidey's guilt feelings, or the fact that he knows Spidey holds back).
However, as good as Batman is, he's still human. He'll eventually tire in prolonged combat with Spidey. Plus, Spidey has the edge over Batman in speed and agility - in theory he could land a dozen blows on Batman before he knew what happened, and use his spidey-sense to dodge any blow or Batarang thrown at him. His spidey-sense is an integral part of his fighting style, as his is taunting and bad jokes - Spidey can get very annoying, which usually cheeses off his opponents so much they let anger take over and they make mistakes. Also, Spidey's webbing is a very effective distance weapon. Cover Batman with enough webbing, and before Batman can cut his way through, Spidey could plant a haymaker on him.
Another point to consider - Spidey did take out Captain America, Batman's analog when it comes to fighting in the Marvel Universe.
If I were a betting man, I gotta give this one to Spidey, especially if Batman isn't expecting a battle. If he is though, it'll be a much closer fight, but I'd give the edge to Spidey anyway just because of his powers.
