Batman Contigency Plans: Taskmaster

[@xtraveller8596]

Okay Batman fighting Taskmaster would be something I’d pay to watch

[@Babbleplay]

Find an issue where he faces The Calculator. Main real difference being Taskmaster's skill copy is innate, while Calculator's is derived from technology.

[@pacifistattack]

That is a match up for the next crossover if they ever do one.

[@Jondoe297c]

He would win like captain America did mixing so many martial arts to be so unpredictable to overwhelm him

[@Raven9940]

I concur!

[@jamrock719]

🫡fuck yeah

[@GyariSan-kj8lr]

Alternate plan: Just simply cut him a paycheck. Taskmaster works as a combat instructor & mercenary for hire. He's less of a supervillain and more a guy just doing his day job. Finding out how much his employer is paying him, & agreeing to pay him double or triple what he's being paid might make him back down.

[@olyx_newblade2737]

Good Point

[@Dahaka-rd6tw]

Great. *How Batman Would Defeat Every Spider-Man Villain* by 'WhatCulture Comics' all over again, huh?

[@JamesAdams-nd1td]

Taskmaster is also interesting in that he has some kinds of principles tor even "morals" that he displays on occasion (like helping out a paraplegic who was injured in a fight between him and Deadpool or admitting to the limitations of his powers to his probable daughter Finesse). There are lines he is reluctant to cross; convincing him that following his employers instructions is a violation of this ill-defined moral code or simply not in his best interests would probably neutralize him at least for the moment.

[@michaela.pempleton1128]

Me: How can you plan against someone who can mimic you in every way? Batman: Let me show you.

[@khalifabinhendi6107]

Fun Fact: In the animated series Ultimate Spiderman, where he is part of a team with Power Man, Iron fist, etc; Taskmaster has interacted with both Peter Parker and Spiderman, but was not able to connect the dots that Peter Parker was Spiderman. His Youth sounding voice gave Taskmaster the idea that he might be dealing with a high school student, which caused taskmaster to pose a gym teacher at one of the local highschools (which happened to be where spiderman went). During Gym practice, Peter deliberately performed below average while Flash Thompson performed the best. Flash ironically ended up doing many moves similar to spiderman, making Taskmaster think Spiderman was Flash Thompson.

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Batman has a protégé named Cassandra Cain. She was trained as an assassin since birth and is able to predict people's movements just by watching. Like Taskmaster.

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Contingency Plan Code: Heheheh. Subject: Peter Griffin

[@androssteague]

That's a good one. Peter is known to be a formidable fighter when the plot calls for it. But the most imperative contingency plan he needs to have is for Stewie.

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

I could imagine Batman bringing up the fact that Peter seems to have a unique form of toon force, as despite him being a fat unmotivated alcoholic slob, Griffin is somehow a peak human martial artist in a fight. Taking him on in a direct confrontation is a complete "no go" since Peter WILL take down Batman in a spectacularly destructive battle.

[@GDaddyK]

😂

[@SorenDaein]

Funny Batman should bring up the idea of Taskmaster having difficulty with unpredictable opponents. It was mentioned in the Merc with a Mouth's first appearance in Death Battle that he was the only one to outwit Taskmaster. Deadpool's unpredictability was also brought up again during the aftermath. Said fight was against Deathstroke.

[@JWesker1998]

Taskmaster would be one of the League's greatest threats with his skillset. Particularly to members such as Batman, Black Canary, Huntress, Green Arrow, Wildcat, etc. Along with members of the Bat Family.

[@CherryColaWizard]

Taskmaster could be useful as a sparring partner for Batman. He can mimic any fighting style. If Batman convinced Taskmaster to be an ally, Batman would have a very realistic way to train for fighting just about anyone.

[@xtraveller8596]

Contingency plan code: Smash Subject: The Hulk

[@martinmcneal2778]

In addition to this Contingency, it would be recommended to fight in a location of complete darkness and/or to use flash-bang grenades to temporarily blind and disorient Taskmaster. He cannot copy what he can't see

[@stevemarkovich9187]

Just like Batman said

[@85turtle]

Contingency Plan Code: White Wolf Subject: Geralt of Rivia

[@brokenbridge6316]

Seeing Batman Fight Taskmaster would be quite the sight to behold. Great video.

[@Biorythym]

A few points. 1.) There is a DC character who has the same powers as Taskmaster, Victor Gover "Sportsmaster II" 2.) Another disadvantage is Taskmaster can't turn this ability "off" he is always recording data from everyone he sees, the issue is his brain has only so much "storage space" and a s a result is losing memories 3.) Taskmaster has a limited ability to achieve superspeed, he does this by watching footage at 2x speed...doing this damages his body as muscles, ligaments and tendons are pulled in unnatural ways, but is a technique he's used to beat superior opponents

[@Zero-90]

Funny how you bring this personality up, considering this, how the absolute menace that it's become in the comics as of now.

[@davidjordan5394]

If Amanda Waller knew about taskmaster, she would have them for her task force X program also, Lex Luthor can might help with taskmasters superpower problem by giving him a piece of platinum kryptonite or give him information about Ben 10 Omnitrix from another universe or all of the different miraculous from ladybug and cat noir’s world or generator Rex’s nanites or transfer a jean splicer, with DNA of of every power of every hero ,villain, anti-hero they’ve encountered with the multi-verse so far including replica of their weapons. Also, Batman‘s next contingency plan should be about Cyberpunk.

Batman Contingency Plans Guy (Final Fight)

[@orientmaple7254]

Taskmaster actually can mimic superpowers he was able to learn how to run fast by just watching the video in two times speed

[@brightlord-ov7cm]

Taskmaster probably watched this video and came up with a proper counter to batman as well.

[@IAmTheEagleHTM]

[@marcusgreene8434]

That's a fight I've been wanting to see for years!

[@keni95851]

Another fantastic one!

[@patrik9328]

Taskmaster is absolute master of combat. He learned a alien martial art that was suppose to be too difficult and complex for humans to learn. He survived Doctor Dooms enegry blasts point-blank, defeated multiple heroes or villains and survived multiple punches from Hyperion

[@damianstarks3338]

This Batman contingency plan is beyond perfect for Taskmaster. Over the years Taskmaster has easily become one of my favorite Marvel comics assassins.

[@TheAccursedHunter01]

Contingency Plan Code: Metroid Subject: Samus Aran The newest Metroid game ends with Samus unlocking a dangerous power she can't completely control and will seemingly return in the future so that's a perfect reason for Batman to put together a plan in case she goes out of control. Also I at first thought of having "Ultimate Warrior" be the subject name (that's what the word Metroid means in Chozo) but there's the wrestler Ultimate Warrior and the word Metroid is instantly recognizable as to who the subject is. That and Samus can be considered a Metroid by this point, literally and figuratively.

[@bman3794]

Contingency Plan Code: What’s Up Doc? Subject: Bugs Bunny.

[@redmage8719]

Taskmaster is kinda like a Blue Mage.

Taskmaster movie is a must, but this CP is just mind blowing!

[@SublimeSlime-mc3zv]

Contingency Plan Code: Inmate Subject: Joker (Persona)

[@gamester512]

Funnily enough, I'd love to see Joker (P5) go up against The Joker, partly to see how the latter would react to the former "stealing" his name....only to then realize that Joker (P5) also has supernatural powers in the form of his Personae, at which point he'd probably be seething with impotent rage when he realizes the he can't actually handle the "upstart". If it's a Joker who also has knowledge of Return of the Joker in Batman Beyond, it'd probably also give him unpleasant flashbacks of Terry to boot. Though I think in the end, Bruce would approve of Joker (P5) due to his strong moral compass and absolute refusal to kill his targets. He'd likely respect Joker & the Phantom Thieves for their ability to get the bad guys to publicly confess and try to atone for their crimes as well, particularly considering the fact that every member of the Phantom Thieves (save for Morgana & Zenkichi) are all High Schoolers/College Students.

[@emanmore]

Thank you for your Batman Contingency Plan videos. They are very enjoyable and very entertaining. If you are open to requests. I would love to see a video featuring the characters Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue from the Anime Lycoris Recoil. That be so neat. Thank you again for your videos. Look forward to more videos.

[@mr.voidout4739]

One of Taskmaster's greatest character flaws is that the more he learns, the more his personal memory fades. He used to be a content man, but the more he absorbed, the more malicious he became.

Alfred: you where always good at multitasking, sire.

[@CaptainFirespitter]

Out of curiosity, do you choose a new character to cover at random or do you make a list on it or something to that extent? Just curious about how you go about doing these. ☺️

[@MultiversalWiisdom]

A mix between the two, I have a list of characters that I would like to do personally, and then recommended ones. You can usually see the difference in the videos. If a video doesn't have a "recommended" tag, at the top left in the beginning of a video, then the character was the channel's own decision

[@CaptainFirespitter]

Ah ok, thanks for getting back to me on this. 😁 I can imagine it’s quite the list to go through sometimes!!! 😂😂😂

[@MultiversalWiisdom]

@@CaptainFirespitter You have no idea 💀

[@CaptainFirespitter]

@@MultiversalWiisdom hey, one day at a time and at least it’s worth it in the end. I feel the pain too. It’s never easy but gotta persevere sometimes. ☺️

[@CaptainFirespitter]

Btw, Don’t suppose I can Burden you with two more at some point Eventually? :3 *wiggles them under your nose* Adam Smasher and Jak would be interesting ones!!! 😂😂😂 But in all seriousness, I’m not going to pressure you about it. 😅 Just everything in your own time, I’m more than happy to wait as long as needed. ☺️ I’m not really bothered regardless.

[@nightshock992]

I think I would like to see a Batman contingency code against Natsuki Subaru. How do you prepare against a guy who can turn back time indefinitely as long as he dies, and whose ability is connected to an immortal witch so powerful that she wiped out half the world. You would also have to take into account his other Authorities and his own impressive strategic mind and inhuman drive to achieve any goal he sets for himself.

[@Eugenejones-e7l]

Batman and Taskmaster. That one would be sooooo good.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Taskmaster is like Shadow Link from Ocarina of Time. If you try fighting him normally, he will beat you by perfectly reading all your movements. To beat him, you need to use powers he can't copy like Din's Fire or you have to fight in an unpredictable way by not Z-targeting.

[@Кустарус]

Suggesting an idea for a contingency plan, video 4 Contingency Plan Code: Devil's Wingman Subject: Pacific Federation Peacekeeper Squadron Leader Crimson 1

[@brianl8481]

There are only two people Taskmaster does not duplicate, Deadpool and Moon Knight, both are guano crazy and don’t care about being hurt. Unless Batman’s alter ego also doesn’t care about being hurt, Batman is in for a rough time. Also, Taskmaster does his own prep on his targets, so if he’s coming for Batman, he’s coming hard and fast. Maybe that’s demolishing Wayne Manor and sealing up the Batcave. Maybe that’s waiting for the 3 minutes Batman actually sleeps a week and just mercing him.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

This is a matchup I'd be super-hyped for, but the Zur-En-Arrh part has me a little worried for Batman. I haven't actually read the comics where Zur-En-Arrh appears, but from what I do understand of that version of Batman, is there any kind of danger that he might lose himself in that persona if he stays in it too long?

Sometimes you overthink things. You could just take the moon knight approach and crash a helicopter into him. "Oh, Taskmaster is the world's best hand to hand combatant? Don't fight him hand to hand then."

[@-TheShaun-]

There is quite a few of the opponents from this series that Batman can easily take down with a single method. Taskmaster included. A long distance sniper with a tranquilizer. Any opponent that does not have superhuman skin, resistance to tranquilizers, or super awareness (such as Spider-man's spidey sense) is just as vulnerable to it as any normal human.

This would be an awesome match but Batman has overlooked one important thing. Taskmaster is a mercenary. So when he shows up all Batman needs to do is pay him. There is NO way Taskmaster can refuse those Wayne dollars.

[@WindWerehog]

I'm pretty sure that Deadpool beats him because he is unpredictable, while Spiderman beats him because "you might know everything i'm going to do, but that won't help you since I know everything you're going to do! strange, isn't it?"
