Do you agree Spider-Man has dethroned Batman Arkham games to be the best super hero game ever?

I'd agree with that, yeah. I didn't play Arkham Knight though, so I could be missing out on something.
for me personally yes for sure, especially since Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero
The fact that the game is so similar to Arkham actually makes me think that it's not. Like, they did the open world better than any Batman game, but they also transferred over busywork tasks and forced stealth segments.
I'm super happy with it, but it doesn't feel like an Insomniac game, so I can't say it's the best.

I'm not sure the day the game releases is the best time to get level headed responses. Check back in a year.
Been playing it for about 2 hours now so it's too early to tell but it's very VERY like Batman gameplay wise so far.
I'd almost consider it a sequel, I'm gonna wait until it brings some of it's own ideas to the table first.
So far though the side quests are much better in Batman Arkham City.
But getting around the City is a little more smooth in Spiderman.

I'm enjoying it a lot more than the Arkham games so far. Spider-Man is more agile which makes combat wild and wacky, the traversal is incredible and the city feels more alive than in the civilian-less Arkham games.
But it's a bit early to say definitively if it's better or not.

Too early for me to say as I'm only a few hours in but I can see the combat system having a lot more potential than Batman's and I'm one of the people who defends batman combat. I haven't even unlocked most gadgets or skills yet and I can already see so many different ways of handling situations.
edit: I do agree this is crazy early though. Even if you've somehow completed it already you need time for it to digest and properly analyze it after stripping away any emotional feelings you have towards/against it.

Arkham built itself upon everything that had come before. It is the best Batman game it could've been.
Spider-Man is fantastic. Traversal is much better than Arkham. Yet it is still lacking the final polish that Arkham had.
Insomniac created an amazing base which they can build upon. Can't wait for the next Spider-Man game.

It just came out, yo. And you're comparing an entire trilogy (Plus their superior friend, Origins) to one game. Let's see what Spider-Man is able to achieve in the second game.
Yall saying no need to chill, it ain't even been a day. And yall saying yes need to let it sink in a little more, its only been a day.
This is a ridiculous question to ask a day after its release. And the answer is no. Spider-Man is Arkham-lite, but it falters in its main campaign and side stories being nowhere near as polished or as good as the Arkham games. The sequel could surpass them if they focus on those areas.
Having not played the game with no plans to for possibly the remainder of the year, I can still confirm this is a true statement
Better combat, more organic world, better side content, and integrating non-hero/MJ stuff really adds a lot of variety. So without a contest it's better imo.
how many hours are you in the game op?
but to answer your question, no. it's the best spiderman game ever though.

I think it's up there with Arkham Asylum for sure but I don't think it dethrones it. Easily one of the best superhero games I've played though!
No. Batman is just way cooler and more fun to play. Even traversing the city is better in the Batman games.
The only thing Spiderman has on Batman so far, is that it has a lot more environmental appeal. Instead of being in a gloomy city, you explore New York and meet with lots of NPCs. It also has a real "city-like" feeling with lots of peoples and occasionally thugs, instead of being filled ONLY with thugs. Plus playing as "Peter" is a somewhat interesting aspect. Playing as Bruce is never interesting.
