In the late issue of DC Comics’Task Force Z , Jason Todd’sRed Hoodis facing a major Bat - Family intervention . Due to his refusal to forsake his underground commission forBatmaninvolving a squad of zombie supervillains , it seems as though his " sibling " have come together to knock some sense into him . While a lack of trust seems to be a major factor , it ’s not like Red Hood has done himself any favors despite his ultimately good intentions .
Inprevious issues ofTask Force Z , Red Hood has been working for none other than Two - human face . receive administration approval for a trial ravel , Harvey Dent was put in charge of Task Force Z , a team of controllable supervillains who had go and had been part brought back as zombies via pills derived from theDC Universe ’s resurrecting Lazarus Pits . This included the like of Bane , Man - Bat , and Mister Freeze , all of whom had latterly died in other series only to be brought back as newfangled assets for the government , being promised full resurrections in exchange for their compliance . Given his personal experience with the Pits combined with his darker past times , Red Hood was handwriting - picked by Two - Face to lead this Modern squad in the field ( though Jason Todd was secretly gaining intel for Batman ) .

However , a much bigger confederacy involving the pills and the villain Mister Bloom has been bring out byRed Hood and his young team . Furthermore , the team ’s computer storage of pill was stolen , resulting in several of the undead supervillains becoming dead once more . This motivated Red Hood to steal a store of resin from the Batcave in the newTask Force Z # 8from Matthew Rosenberg , Jesus Merino , Jack Herbert , and Vicente Cifuentes . Combined with his refusal to give up the squad of villains at Batman ’s request , it seems as though the Bat - Family is assuming the worst , suspicious that Red Hood is revert to his disconsolate tendencies . This leads to what is best described as a family intervention that only Gotham vigilante can have , one where Nightwing , Tim Drake ’s Robin , and Cassandra Cain ’s Batgirl all attempt to take Jason down .
distinctly , Red Hood is able to hold his own quite wellas he ’s willing to go further and actually spite the siblings standing in his fashion . While sneaking around and steal from Batman by nature puts him in a big spark , Jason in truth believes he ’s doing the right affair . Task Force Z is unambiguously place to kibosh Bloom who intends to harm a caboodle of the great unwashed . However , Red Hood convince Batman to trust his villainswasn’t going to last for very long . Now , the Dark Knight has reached his break head by send the Bat - Family to stop Jason from working with risky mass while Jason consider that it will allow him to succeed where Batman has failed .
The reason Red Hood is the blackened sheep ofBatman’sfamily is simple : he does n’t hope Bruce as the others do . While this could be seen as a bad affair , it actually provides him with a unique lens system as a Gotham crimefighter . For good or for worse , it seems as thoughRed Hoodis more than willing to be see as the bad guy in club to do the ripe thing in the issues to number from DC Comics .
