Nataku8188 about that guy who caught the bullet only having the one feat you forget that he opened the door of Taskmaster's van with something like 1 second left on the bomb and he got out of the blast radius with out even singeing.
Taskmaster broke his leg one of the isses don't done by Udon and it was fine in the next issue IRC.
Taskmasters last apperance was in Agent X, his mini happened before his apperances in DP I think.
Taskmaster will beat the Bats.

Everyone's fighting style on that list consists of more than one style, I'm pretty sure if you add it up, he'll find a way to counter Bats.
Did you notice this?
Known Fighting Styles: Ant-Man II, Batman (DC)
He already knows knows the Bats fighting style. Add that to the fact he's caught bullets before, equals Batman's defeat.
Wait, does he have powers or not?
He used to have photogenic memory fighting skills, but that bio says he lost it.
It also doesnt mention his "double" speed that I've heard of or a healing factor.
This bio just says he's learned a few guys fighting stances, that aint shit really.
If all he has is what he learned a while ago and can adapt more style, this fights over real fast.
Known Abilities: Photographic Reflexes, which enables him to mimic the skills of those he watches and studies in person or on TV, Photographic Memeory, Voice Impersenation.
He still has these abilities.
He used to be able to mimic powers kinda like what Gideon used to do. That power he doesn't have anymore.
That comparison is completely inadequate. There's no way Taskmaster is a threat to Deathstroke. TM can copy Slade's moves but he can't copy his precognative level senses. That's the same reason TM will lose to Batman, he can copy every move, but not his strategic genious, ingenuity, or even mixture of his own style.
Bats has trouble w/Shiva & Batgirl. Prometeus gave it to him before. They can't really match his strategic genius either, but up close is different. Tasky is no slouch in any department and his weapons are top notch. He's caught bullets before man. He's faster than Batman, more agile and can use Cap or Iron Fist's fighting style. Along w/many others. He'd outclass Bats. Not an easy victory by any means, but a victory still.
Dude, there goes your problem, you're comparing TM to people like Shiva and Batgirl. Batgirl damn near has a superpower, Shive is at the very pinnacle of fighting ability. Bats has trouble with them because they're as good as him. I'll grant you the Prometheus example, because I don't beleive him to be as good as TM, but when's the last time this happened? You're also probably ignoring all the examples where Bat's beats on Prometheus like a red headed step child.
Originally posted by MERCILOUSNot really. I just didn't think I needed to state that for my side of the issue @ hand.🙂 TM damn near has a superpower too. Photographic Reflexes. It can be argued that TM, knowing all the styles he knows from all these other great fighters is also @ the very pinnacle of fighting ability. That's only logical. I think TM is fully capable of beating Shiva or Batgirl. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you that Taskie can move @ a FForwarded type speed for small periods of time. It takes a toll on his body though.
