This comes to a head inTask Force Z#8 , where Red Hood is ambushed by Nightwing , Cassandra Cain ’s Batgirl , and Tim Drake ’s Robin after he stole Batman ’s supply of the Lazarus Resin .

The Bat - Family is only as strong as their weakest contact , and if they are unable to trust thatRed Hood is doing the correct thing , they will never be able to protect Gotham to the best of their abilities . While it ’s undeniable that Jason has lived up to his report as a loose shank in the yesteryear , he has been determined inInfinite Frontierto flex a new leafage , evident in his decision to give up guns , for illustration .
