Batman/Capt America by John Byrne is still the best cross over IMO. Undisputed champ.

Batman/Cap is far and away the best crossover. It's a damn-near perfect superhero story.

That Superman/Hulk crossover seemed to be trying hard to be as true to the spirit of the original intercompany crossovers, which I respected. Agreed, and for a flashback concept, it did not seem to be modern day, in-universe sensibilities in Silver Age trappings, but had the feel and execution of an early Silver Age book. I did not enjoy that at all. One, I am no fan of Byrne, and two, the personalities of the leads were like the work of someone trying to take pieces of what he thought were Batman and Captain America's Golden Age personalities and running with that.

I don't get how Superman vs Spider-Man could be "the battle of the century", given the power disparity.

I don't get how Superman vs Spider-Man could be "the battle of the century", given the power disparity. And heat vision. Seriously, heat vision should be the solution to 90% of Superman's problems.

That's literally just a re-inking of the original cover art. Traced practically line-for-line. OOOOkay.

Yeah, I was wondering where the "re-imagining" or the variation came in.

Yet look at the power disparity between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III. 90,000+ fans filled the Pontiac Silverdome! The irresistible force meeting the immovable object! Hogan had no chance, yet, for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world, Hogan slammed Andre the Giant and beat him. Scientifically, the greatest moment in sports history!!! Don’t count out Spidey!!

Scientifically, the greatest moment in sports history!!! Don’t count out Spidey!! That's not an effective analogy. The difference in strength between Hogan and Andre was a fraction of the difference between Spidey, who can lift a maximum of 10 tons, and pre-Crisis Superman, who could literally juggle planets. Big Blue should have no more problem beating the wall-crawler than he'd have squashing a real spider. (And besides, Hogan's "victory" was decided before either man entered the ring. That "greatest moment in sports history" was about as genuine as William Shatner's hair.)
Cei-U! I summon the major mismatch!
