Warning : Spoilers onward forTask Force Z#10
In the latest issue ofTask Force Z , Red Hoodgets a new , uproarious kit but it has tragic undertones . Jason Todd is force to fight Mr. Bloom in just a Red Hood shirt , underclothing , and his socks . When in a combat context , though , this outfit attend strikingly similar to Jason ’s first Robin uniform .
Jason Todd is illustrious for being the first Robin to die — and for being the Robin whose last still has the most ramifications across the Batman cartoon strip . After being bunk with a crowbar by the Joker and brag up in a warehouse , Jason Todd remain dead for over 15 geezerhood before dramatically return to Gotham as the crime lord Red Hood . Though Jason has mostly reconciled with Batmanand the Bat - Family , he has been at betting odds with them inTask Force Z , where he ( quite appropriately ) head a team of once - beat supervillains . Red Hood , ally now with Two - Face , might be getting too thick into a case , just as he once did as Robin .

InTask Force Z#10 by Matthew Rosenberg , Eddy Barrows , Eber Ferreira , Adriano Lucas , and Rob Leigh , Mr. Bloom — a former and now - rogue Task Force Z member — ambushes Red Hood and his team mid - sleep . Jason only has time to get out on a Red Hood - stigmatise shirt over his boxer , and he ’s still wear thin windsock . Meanwhile , flashback reveal Red Hood ’s desire to avenge Alfred Pennyworth ’s death pushed Harvey Dent to createa fresh Bane out of the former poor boy , Gotham . Back in the fight scene , Jason is shown mid - scrap , wearing brusque - shorts and socks .
While Red Hood fight down supervillains in his underclothing is hilarious , it ’s unmanageable not to notice the Robin - like undertone to this outfit . The scant pant are a dead giveaway , as they reverberate the original green boxers that both Dick Grayson and Jason Todd originally wore as Robin . But even Jason ’s socks look queerly similar to Robin ’s green pyxie boots . These reverberation of Jason ’s old Robin uniform add a tragic notation to this otherwise rum moment , which is well in assembly line , tonally , with the sleep ofTask Force Z. Jason might be corralling zombies like they ’re toddlers , but he ’s still struggling with his past ( and with his past fault ) especially asRed Hood ’s craze continues to have consequencesbeyond his control .
Task Force Zis so successful precisely because it desegregate witticism with cataclysm , so it ’s no surprisal that one of Red Hood ’s funniest scrap outfits has a glowering side to it , too . Jason Todd ’s death stalk him , and likely will incessantly , despite the fact that he ’s been resurrected for almost as long as he was dead . These minuscule nod to Jason ’s past as Robin are almost always tragic in nature . But maybe one 24-hour interval fans will be able to seeRed Hoodreflect happily on his clock time as Robin .
