Taskmaster vs Batman

Once the batman beat an opponent like the task master it becomes relatively easy for batman to beat him the second time.

As it has been prov-en time and time again. OK maybe you did not mean to say what you said.

Take Zeiss for instance he has enhanced reflexes and strength. but not of his this can compare to Taskmaster. But I can tell you that Zeiss reflexies is faster than Taskmaster. He has this ability to see the world in slow motion. Let me put in to prospective when Flash moves he is the fastest man alive, but for Zeiss he would see Flash as if he was walking (very slowly). This is the kind of thing that allows him to counter your every move. And the batman took care of him.

whats with all this second battle bull?

its one fight, the topic isnt named "taskmaster versus batman, two rounds"

taskmaster takes this one imo, one trick pony, but his trick being one that can mimic others tricks.....the possibilities of that one trick are infinite

shikamaru would be a good example, i dont think much of you know who that is though

... lifeisaglich you're talking about perception, not reflexes. Noway in hell is the Flash, a guy who moves many magnitudes above the speed of light, moving in slow motion in Zeiss' perspective. Also just because you can see an attack coming doesn't mean shit unless you're fast enough to do something about it (I can make Naruto references too!).

lol, your icon gave me the idea

taskmaster wins this imo

The Zeiss reference was made to answer srankmissingnin earlier post which said that batman would only have a chance of winning during their first encounter.

And srankmissingnin flash is the most fastest man alive he moves really really fast but Zeiss even though he can not move as fast as the flash, he can see the world in slow motion. He sees you in slow motion, sees everything in slow motion thus giving him the gift of coming up with a counter if he sees you coming. Think of them as polar opposite.

Yeah... you are right and deadpool got the best of him by dancing the mac-arena and being unpredictable. And he only needed just one trick too.🙂

Hmm.. But didn't this fight start with Taskmaster beating the living day lights out of deadpool in front of his students. Or is my memory failing me? 🙂

Yeah, it was also the worst depiction of Taskmaster I've ever seen. Kelly did a crap job with him and it seems like he didn't even check any of his appearances. He gave TM the old campy arrogant Dr. Doomian speech patterns, whereas he's always been depicted as a thug from the Bronx.

Though Kelly did have some interesting ideas for TM that were never used as he messed his characterization up so badly the first time around he was percieved as little more than a joke until others came along and fixed him. Kelly was going to have him watch tapes of great diplomats, chess players, philosophers, speakers. strategists etc.. TM would then be able to mimic this, realize and surpass his limitations and create a "paradox". What this exactly means is lost somewhere in the void that is rough script drafts and desk notes as Kelly never further explained.

As far as toys go, Taskmaster has his hard energy creator, good for making energy shields (Captain America), claws (Wolverine) and webbing (Spider-Man). Probably able to do much more, we just haven't seen it yet. He carries a katana having observed some of the best oriental swordsmen in the world (Silver Samurai amongst them) and dual pistols, probably 9mm or .45's (as Punisher uses these, and he has copied Punisher various times in the past). With the breadth of people he's observed, he could easily string together an adhoc weapon, or pick a random weapon up and use it to near full versatility.

The creme de la creme however, is his image inducer. TM is a lot smarter than some have given him credit for. Though a Bronx thug at heart, he has certainly transcended his initial position, check out his mini-series if you disbelieve me. Depending on where the fight takes place, TM could get lost in a crowd, and come up behind Batman as a totally different looking, sounding and acting person.

Hmm..... Interesting

And ask for your last paragraph If Batman can find Martian Manhunter when he has morphed into his human forms, how do you figure that Taskmaster is going to change into someone different and batman is not going to be able to find him.

But is would make for a good story line.

Doesn't Zeiss work like a computer? He can record things then play them back later, in slow motion and things of the sort. Also the slow-motion thing is all relative; for instance to Quicksilver all the people around him are moving in slow-motion... now tell me, do you think he'd see the Flash in slow-motion as well?

Record ? the first thing that came to me when you wrote this word was you have confused Prometheus with Zeiss. Prometheus is the one who downloads or record (if you will) other people's talent.

Were as Zeiss has a specialized goggles that allow him to see the world in slow motion.

If Zeiss does not see flash then there is a good chance that flash is going to get the drop on him but If Zeiss sees him coming he would be able to get out of the way. Granted if it takes Zeiss 1 minute to analyse his opponents move before the initial blow connects then it would probably take 60 secs for Zeiss to properly prepare him self against some like the flash.
For Quicksilver all the people are moving in slow motion because he is moving really fast. even when he is not running.

Let's see. Taskmaster has the fighting styles from the following that he has encountered:

Ant-Man II
Black Widow II
Black Panther
Captain America
Daredevil
Deadpool
Elektra
Falcon
Hawkeye
Iron Fist
Punisher
Silverclaw
Spider-man
Tigra
USAgent
Warbird
Wolverine
Zaran

Taskmaster takes this one easily. He wouldn't even need to immitate Batman's fighting style.

Zeiss sees the world in slow motion 😆

he's got the fighting skills of cap and DD, the throwing skills of bullseye and a host of other talents. can bats find a way to take him down one on one? about the only thing bats has as an advantage is his smarts. is it enough?

Batman could win if he was allowed to cheat, but in a straight up match in a ring he would lose, taskmaster would simply start copying his moves.

that's what i thought too, but it seems taskmaster always finds a way to lose! not sure why because he seems like he should be a tough sob. bad writing maybe?

he lost because he was the "bad guy".... he embarrassed Iron Man in his own limited series

if they extend his series (and they should) then you'll see him win a lot more

Taskmaster loses against all of the Avengers and in DD when he gets overconfident. He lost to DP, cause well, DP is an idiot.

Taskmaster would beat Batman...unless is was in a comic cause he'd have to loose being the villain.

Batman has beaten Prometheus, who does almost the same exact thing as Taskmaster.

yeah but taskmaster on a few occasions as given full teams like the avengers a good run for their money. Like it was said before if bats cheats he'll win, in a straight up brawl, unless he knocks out tm with one hit, he'll lose.

He doesn't give the Avengers a run for their money. He keeps pace with them and gives guys like hawkeye a run for their money, but when you get Ironman and such in there, he takes off. He chumped Ironman in his LS cause he knew he couldn't take him, so he took off. TM won't know all the fighting styles bats has, and it takes him a short time to master a style, so if Bats continually shifts his style, TM won't be able to figure out what his next moves will be.
