Debatable.
I peg Cap vs Bat 50/50 personally, with Bats having the skill edge, and Cap having the strength edge, but not so much Bruce can't deal with it..
Plus the endurance edge, which only matters if the fights goes on forever, which often doesn't happen...

That's almost exactly how I view it.
Cap would win an extended battle not because he's more skilled, but because of his superior physical stats.
Batman, however, is vastly, IMO, superior in terms of breadth of skills mastered in martial arts - which, we should note, have many lessons on less physically formidable fighters beating much more formidable fighters through the application of certain skills. Wing-Chung, for example, was first created so that women could defend against men. BJJ is all about using leverage so even if you are smaller and weaker you can still win.
Taking that stance, I think Taskmaster and Batman are equally skilled. I think that Batman is also smarter than Taskmaster and would win the fight by combining his H2H skills with his brain. I kind of imagine it going sort of similar to when Sherlock Holmes fights in the movies - Bruce deduces the fight as if it were a chess match, once he realizes what Taskmaster is doing, and changes the variables of the game.

😆Cap is more skilled than Batman, and takes at least 8/10. Not debatable. 😎

Captain America beat taskmaster before...
However I believe it was around civil war...
He asked Bucky to tag in because taskmaster had fought him before and even cap wasnt sure he'd be able to win...
Now taking into account that taskmaster hasn't had the chance to study tapes etc of batman prior to the fight it would probably go with a slight edge to taskmaster in hand to hand... Batman would have to put him down fast cause the longer he takes the better the odds get stacked against bruce
Originally posted by Blair WindBatman has at best a small edge in skill over Steve Rogers and that supposed edge is very debatable.

And it is not enough to offset Rogers physical attributes.
Skill is basically a mix of reflexes, general speed, hand eye coordination, agility, and ultimately how much damage you can dish out while avoiding taking damage at the same time.
Under this guideline, I cannot see how Batman is supposedly more skilled than Cap in pure h2h.
Cap is a baws at the above stuff.
relevant.

The mans an anal retentive perfectionist, which carries over to his martial arts prowess. (
If Steve Rogers is Kurt Angel, Batman would be Bret Hart.
Look at the best MA's in DC. He can usually get a draw with any one of them, and most of them are full time martial artists, while he's also a detective and super hero...
