Well, he wasn't shown prepping for it; and when Batman preps, by god do comic writers want us to know it. The Suit of All Sorrows; the Hellbat armour - note how for example I didn't include the Sonic Gun he carried around when going up against the Man Bats.
When Batman preps for a specific opponents, writers usually go into nerdgasms over him, lovingly detailing everything he's strapping on. This was just him going into his belt and chucking stuff out.
I know you're wasting my time. But what the heck. I'm in a good mood atm. Cap was the one who used tech to beat Tasky. One on one Tasky beat Cap in their very first fight.
It was standard tazer. And he was carrying it around several times. But I see a "srank" comment right now.
Cap was KOED. Shang chi had to save them. And Batman has KOED people outdoors via gas too.
Yeah, I call bullshit.
I don't base that on "martial skills". I base that on how they have fought actual characters with skills. Find me a feat of Cap fighting someone like Karate Kid and call me back. Or fighting the abstract personification of every martial art that EVER existed for two issues straight and surviving.
Earlier in the same issue, Oglivy had beaten the crap out of Batman, as he was expecting him to be human still. Penguin rescued him, and he went straight inside the house, hence in the scan you posted, he's still leaning against the doorframe. He didn't (IIRC) go to the Batmobile, or Batcave or whatever, load up on his tech, and come back to the Cobblepot mansion.
Not to mention, earlier in the same issue, Oglivy catches him by surprise by showcasing he's Venom'd up, with bark armour and Man Bat serum. So Batman didn't prepare for Oglivy being anything more than another human kingpin boss.
*sigh* Cap was fighting TM wuth his barehands for most of the fight and still holding his own. All Cap did was hit him over the head with the shield, which is something he could use with the normal shield.
Actually I'm not so sure about that TM breifly stunned him then ran. I've seen people got knocked to the ground in comics and comeback.
If it was a standarad tazer then why has he used tazers against weaker characters and then had to go back and make it more powerful to KO a much weaker character. It wasn't a standard taser and even if it was other showing cxontradict how powerful it is.
He wasn't KOed read it again. Of course hes KOed people indoors that doesn't its going to work on Cap.
You can if you like.
Thats all very inpressive but the fact of the matter we try to look at both characters entire showings and if were going to look at Caps as a whole they are much better. The problem is I've been reading a lot of Batman and Cap and Cap as a whole fights much more dangerous opponents on a more regular basis than Batman and has been doing it for longer.
Cap is more skilled.

Ok the problem is I've bene reading Batman DCnu from the beginning and I don't think I've seen any acid, or tazers. In fact there are lots of exampls of Batman getting the crap beaten out of him without using tazers.
In fact that the only issue ( annual) that I have with him using a tazer is against intelligent goriilas and in fact it didn't even work the first time so he had to go back and upgrade it.
This seems to be the problem. How do you determine standard equipment?

I mean, I've been playing fair and only showing DCnU Bats.
But if we want to bring preboot Batman in, well, feel free to do so. I'll post scans of some of the stupid tech he pulled out. Specifically, Morrison's BatGod lol.
So you're right, it IS none of your business hehe.
But then, I only posted those scans to show how Bats has more tech than what Taskmaster was showing in those scans.
No preNu52 Batman. This is the point I'm and he is making, he has been in millions of situations were he is in dire straits and not pulled any tazers and other stuff.
Batman hadn't been sleeping properly and was tired and still went up against Bane and was just using h2h skills.
Not only that we see him using an explosive earlier on in that arc but didn't use it against Bane, another incident during that arc he was in trouble against Amygadlia, still no tazers. This is why I'm having a hard time accepting it as standard equipment those showings are not the norm and if you're bringing in prerebbot Batman stuff thats even worse.
