Taskmaster/Captain America vs Batman/Bane

In character

random encounter

standard gear and abilities

pre and post New 52 feats apply

fight takes place at an unpopulated city setting at night

Winner by KO, incapacitation or death

who'd win? For what reasons?

I am leaning towards team 2. Batman's standard gear is more versatile and it would be a very long battle, but Batman will have a slight edge b/c of his gear.

Even though Taskmaster, IMHO, is a better fighter than Bane. Bane's venom enhancement give him the edge.

Team 1. Bane is the weak link

Tough fight... I think Taskmaster takes Bane, Cap takes Bane, and either Cap or Taskmaster take Batman - during the day. All very tough fights.

Since it's night though, Batman is in his element. I'm betting this is the deciding factor, and Batman sneaks off and all of the sudden he has time to prep - and that never goes well for the other guys.

Team 2 wins after Bane gets some "dropped the soap" treatment.

Team 1, Taskmaster as MVP IMO, despite Batman trying to probably change his fighting style throughout this fight...

Team 1.

Captain America should be able to take Bane out with the help of his shield and can join Taskmaster in taking out Batman.

Team 2.

Team 2: Bane is too strong he would take down Cap or Taskmaster.

Team 1 wins due to speed advantage.

I honestly think Taskmaster might solo in a hell of a fight.

Team 2. Bane's getting low balled I think. He's near Bruce's level of skill and his physical superior. I'd say he's stronger than Cap as well with comparable speed.

Not to mention this is in character, so Taskmaster will brag and toy which will be his undoing against either Bruce or Bane.
