Okay, show me.
The site were the quotes were taken from has been pruned and no longer exists. However you can look at this quote and go to the thread and I see us discussing this.

[b]No, not particularly.

That really should be interpreted that Batman thinks he'd beat Cap, doesn't it, since Batman is the far more skilled fighter?
kurtbusiek
You can interpret it how you like, but my intent was that Batman was noting that Cap is the more skilled.

Obvously they had to say almost because it would have pissed off fans.
Heres what Brubaker said about Cap and Batman. Again the site has been moved or pruned but I used direct quotes and didn't alter anything.

"Just physical exertion. While I don't think of Cap as 'super' like Spider-man or Superman,[B] he's clearly not Batman with a shield. He's not just like a guy who works out all the time and is trained. He's been enhanced, and I wanted to show that a bit."
"See, I never understand why everyone gets so worked up about this stuff. Cap was given the Super-Soldier Serum. The first word there is SUPER. He's not superman, but clearly, he's been shown to be much faster and stronger than a well-trained athlete, many many times. One of everyone's favorite Cap appearances seems to be DD: Born Again, where he's shown running to fast that he's a breeze."

"I see it as he's the ultimate of human potential. Not something the modern man could ever be, but like an evolutionary next-step, basically. He's not Thor or Spiderman, but he's not Batman, either." [/B]

I still don't see how anyone can get that out of that statement though.
Lets face it though you're not interested in being objective are you? You are arguing over a point which is very simple to understand. It has nothing to do with intepretation. The writer is God and knows what Batman was thinking and the writer knows what Batman mean't was that Cap was superior.
