PP: I just don't get it. Why is spider-man hyphenated, but Batman isn't? GG: I wonder if Flora will know.
The laws are different in the two universes?

Spider-Man: Marvel. Batman: DC.

That’s not a hyphen. That’s a piece of spider web.
Because when Stan Lee created Spider-Man, he wanted a hyphen in the name so it would be different from Superman.
Both of them started out hyphenated. It’s just that “batman” is easy to read without the hyphen, while “spider-man” without the hyphen can be “SPI-derman” or “spiDERman”.
