Good fight. Probably a split. As far as the cap/bats thing, I think people get too caught up in the whole cap has enhanced stats but Bruce is only peak human. While he may listed as peak human in handbooks and stuff in comics he's displayed far higher levels than peak human in strength, speed, endurance, stamina, reflexes and many others. So while many might not be exactly even with Steve's it's not as big of a difference as some make it sound like, going by what the comics portray and not some arbritrary statement like he's only peak human and Steve has enhanced attributes.
Depending on the scenario of combat, this is how I see it going down.
Scenario 1
Without prior knowledge of Batman or seeing any sort of media footage on his fighting style, I think Taskmaster would lose.
Scenario 2
If they fought 7 times I can see Taskmaster only winning the 6th and 7th match up. However If they should ever fight after this, Batman would likely be beaten badly.

I apologize if my opinion bored u, and that I didn't bring fresh new ideas to the table like "Srank couldn't convert his limp dick into a hard one". Which is something I thought most people already knew but u thought was funny.

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...
Being trained under dozens of 'banners' of martial arts isn't really advantageous, and more to the point, its redundant. There's only so many practical ways to punch, to kick, and to grapple. Everybody only has 4 limbs afterall. And MA styles from all across the world have techniques that are going to be identical to styles under different names.
Neither Bruce or Steve will bring any sort of technique that will catch the other off-guard as being 'new' or 'unorthodox'. They've seen all there is to see, and all that works.
Bruce would probably at some point attempt some impractical, and ultimately useless ninja monk silly wrist flailing type bullshit while Steve would be comfortable enough to just let his hands go in good ol' marquess of queensberry fashion, being fast, practical, and having no wasted energy and motion on pointless posturing and katas or any of that shit.
In the end, knowing a whole bunch of techniques isn't what constitutes skill anyway, effectiveness does.

This.
Batman might be more overtly "flashier" with his style, but that doesn't constitute him being more skilled than Cap.

Retarted? Let's cool it with the pastry slurs people, it's uncalled for. The politically correct term is small open topped pie.

that's something I always hated, people who "mastered" 600 different types of MA I mean come on at a certain point it's pointless how many you "mastered" you still only have 2 arms 2 legs and 1 head to do them, of course it gives you an advantage if you know more than one but still...hope you get my point

Technically, Cap is supposed to be peak human too, right? As opposed to meta or whatever?I don't know why that's true, if no human can reach that peak without SSS.
Since you're asking as a question tells you don't know. Cap is peak human as its maximum potential. Explained as the next step in human evolution. Batman isn't that definition.
