Team One:
They have the advantage of martial arts skills. Taskmaster is one of the most skillful combatants in any universe, and has feat history to prove it. His short term super speed combined with a sword gives him an incredible offence, and combined with a shield an amazing defense. The bow allows him to attack accurately at range, and combined with the shield throws he's copied from Captain America he's a deadly threat anywhere, anytime.
In Dare Devil they have another elite combatant. While I wouldn't place him on Taskmaster's level he's still a bullet timer and a fantastic martial artist. His sonar hearing is also useful here as it maps the surrounding area, countering Batman's stealth. His has numerous and impressive defensive feats where he evades gunfire, projectiles and the attacks of masterful martial artists.
Team Two:
They have Batman. He's hugely versatile with a large range of skills and equipment. He's stealthy enough to evade the Flash, a master of over a hundred martial arts, and possesses a huge range of gadgets at any given time.
Bane is a tactical genius, physically the strongest person here, and doesn't possess a lot of morals. Although in this battle I consider him the weakest link.
Battle:
The key to success for team one is to close the distance. While Batman might be able to hide from Dare Devil for a short time Bane won't be so lucky. Taskmaster should be able to hamstring Bane with his sword, crush his throat with a shield throw, and put arrows into his eyes. Because of Taskmaster's ability to enhance his speed, and the skills he's copied from Captain American and Hawkeye that should be too hard. There really isn't any way for team two to defend either. Bane is just too slow and doesn't have the stealth or skill to avoid this blitz.
That leaves Batman. Here is where it gets tricky, because Bruce has a LOT of gadgets. Additionally he's a tactical genius, and in FAR better physical condition than either member of team one.
He'll fall back to stealth, trying to wear them down and separate them by use of traps, and his various electrical/freezing/explosive batarangs, Normally that would be really effective but he's against two of marvels best 'projectile defenders' lol. Dare Devil frequently faces Bulls Eye, who is LEAGUES above Bruce in terms of throwing skill/accuracy/power. He's repeatedly demonstrated that he can deflect bullets with his batons and evade almost any projectile attack.
Taskmaster has a replica of Captain America's shield, and has memorized MANY of his moves. Additionally he's copied a lot of Spiderman's evasive movements. Between these two skill sets he's going to be a HARD target for Bruce.
I don't think Bruce can take out either one with ranged attacks/traps alone. He might can wound them, but he won't inflict any critical wounds.
Eventually Dare Devil's ability to map out his surroundings is going to leave Bruce with nowhere else to hide. And then its over. Even with his greatly superior physical abilities Bruce just cannot defeat Taskmaster and Dare Devil both. Even accounting for the fact Bruce is certain to trap the area he chooses to make his stand in [and he will], its just not going to be enough. The weight of skills and actual powers will bring him down.
Team One 7/10
