ThroughoutTask Force Z , Red Hood has led a group of asleep villains reanimated with a special substance on unsafe missionary work — andBane is one of them . However , inTask Force Z # 6,on sales event now in photographic print and digital , there may be more to zombie Bane than readers in the beginning thought and serve as a major disappointment to Red Hood devotee .
Last class , Bane was seemingly toss off in an plan of attack on Arkham Asylum , in an event that issue forth to be known as “ A - Day . ”Months by and by , Baneand a handful of villains were bring back to lifespan by a extra content derived from the Lazarus Pits . These formerly at rest villians were then pressed into avail on a special governance task force-out point by the Red Hood call Task Force Z.

Bane has been a member in good standing , even saving Red Hood ’s life twice from the KGBeast . Red Hood still does not want to work with Bane , despite Two - Face , who has been helping bankroll the squad , tell him to give Bane a chance . At the terminal of the issue , as the team looks at a rampart with their pictures on it , underneath Bane ’s it scan “ who is this ? ”
The publication ends there , leaving lecturer with the tantalizing hint thatBane may not bewho he seems , and with other recent developments in the DC Universe , it is possible he is a clone . In the currentJokertitle , readers met Vengeance , a distaff clone of Bane and promotional materials for next issue have demo Bane with her as well , seemingly restored to life . Was the Bane who died on A - Day a knockoff ? If this is the display case , then this development has serious fork for not only Bane but Red Hood as well . Bane is one of Batman ’s greatest villain and the one human race who actually come apart him . Bane has proven time and again that he is a ruthless murderer , as demonstratedwhen he killed Alfred . Reanimating Bane and forcing him to help under Red Hood ’s leadership , is poetic justice for what he has done to the Bat - Family , but now that may not be the case , and Red Hood may have been brutally penalize someone else for Bane ’s criminal offence . If so , this does not shine well on Red Hood either . He is often viewed as red-hot - headed and violent , and his keep punishments against Bane do nothing to dispel this image . If the Bane serving on Task Force Z is indeed a clon , then Red Hood ’s action have been for naught , and barbarous .
The closed book ofBane’sclone is still stretch out throughout the DC Universe , but if it is indeed a duplicate , thenRed Hood’smissionof justice has been an empty one .
