Taskmaster vs Batman

If you want to know how Taskmaster knows Batman's fighting style look at the list of people he has arsenal. Then remember Captain America alone is a master of ALL COMBAT STYLES. There are a few made up fighting styles in DC to give Bats his forbidden instant kill techs but most of them are real and he already knows them.

Taskmaster pawned Zaran, a guy who holds his own with Shang Chi, a guy who would pawn Lady Shiva, a chick who pawns Batman. Physically Taskmaster is superior to Batman, he has a top notch skill set and a weapon that can turn into any weapon he needs; the point is Tasky cleans house.

agreed srank. right on the money.

Is that why he got beat by DP? Moving erraticly defeated him. Is that why he got beat by Daredevil? Outsmarting him defeated him. Is that why he says when fighting the man bain hired, "He is good. If it weren't for my earlier experiment, I'd be eating my own teeth." Well, I have to say, Batman fights people with unequaled hand-to-hand fighting skill and speed, and wins.

How is Taskmaster physically superior to Batman? They are both as physically fit as someone can be. Batman has as many fighting styles as he needs, Taskmaster is no more 'skilled', he's just got the ability to copy whatever he sees.

Taskmaster lost to Deadpool because of PIS plan and simple... but Deadpool comics basicly revolve around PIS so its to be expected. That guy Bain hired was a bullet timer, he caught bullets and out ran the blast radius of Taskmaster's exploding van with only a second left on the bomb; he would have beat Batman like a cheap hooker.

Also Taskmaster isn't as skilled as Batman because he sees a move and knows how to do it? Thats how you learn martial arts, you are told and shown how to do something then you do it until you get it right. Taskmaster is just blessed with photographic reflexes and very acute muscle memory so he has it mastered in a second. He also has minor chi amping abilites and can bust out mini Iron Fists (thats where his Double time ability comes from).

He didn't outrun the explosion, it shows him right next to the explosion diving away. Not to mention that wasn't a very big explosion, there wasn't even any damage to the guards that approached the van.

Batman would not get beaten like a cheap hooker, he'd beat bain's man like he beats everyone else who is a martial arts master. Just barely.

Where do any comics mention 'chi' amping? He can do the double time simply because he watches it in double time.

Taskmaster was shown to have copied chi amping in one of the Daredevil issues he appeared in. He was able to amp up his punch to hit a guy hard enough to stop his heart. It was never stated that fastward move was chi related but it seems like the only reasonable explanation.

Read the Taskmaster mini from a few years back. He was watching a martial arts flick in FF and discovered he could do the same for a while although it takes a toll on him.

Thats what we are talk about bud. I'm saying that the reason that Taskmaster is actually physically able to go into double time is because he is able to amp up his stats briefly with chi, and since he has shown the ability before it isn't to far fetched. And since it was out side what the human body is capable there needs to be a better reason then "because he saw it"

here's the thing, for all of batman's skill he had enormous trouble taking down a mere ninja in the last part of the knightfall series. yeah he was still recovering and yeah the ninja was big...but there was really nothing special about him. Batman as shown on more than a couple occasions that oponents he isn't prepared for can hand him his ass in h2h combat (i.e.the reaper). All taskmaster has to do is last a few moments with bats, and he'll already be picking up batman's fighting style. batman's got tons of tricks sure....but so does tasky. eventually batman will run out of techniques to use, and taskmaster will have his ass owned.
comparing deadpool and batman at hand to hand combat is like comparing apples and oranges. both still fruit but both are verydifferent from eachother....Deadpool caught tasky by surprise because he was so radically unpredictable. Batman on the other hand is a proven tactician.....every move is precise, every technique and every counter calculated.....he doesn't have the same randomimity (as if that was a real word) going for him that deadpool does.

in anycase batman and cap are practicallyequal in combat, taskmaster knows all about cap and he'll be able to last long enough to know all about batman as well. after that, it's goodnight bruce wayne. if an old guy in a leather suite could do it, taskmaster is gonna do it better...with an attitude.

I totaly forgot about that punch thing. Yeah, the dude was all gloating then TM killed him. Wooo, I feel like a jackass.

Anyways, I like TM better, but I've seen him get beat around by lesser men then Batman, and theoreticly he shouldn't have lost, I'm simply stating he should win. It's definitly a close call... but I lean towards Bats.

Me theory is it was the Bronx accent that made him a chump he lost it... and now he is uber badass. He has different motivations then before too, so now that he is a mercenary he doesn't need to lose every time he shows up!

I want to see Taskmaster and Agent X beat the crap out of the GLA... that would be funny.

The reason TM loses to people smarter than him and people who are better tacticians is because fighting isn't just putting a move out there. It's about who executes it at a better time, picking just the right move for every situation. Sure TM can do a perfect Spidey flip, but it doesn't mean a damn if he does it into a wall.
