Warning! Spoilers ahead for Task Force Z #6
In the latest issue of DC Comics' Task Force Z, Jason Todd's Red Hood was able to convince Batman to trust some of his most dangerous foes for an incredibly touching reason. Working to uncover the truth behind the secret government zombie team Todd has been leading, Red Hood's found himself working with Two-Face, Bane, and Mr. Freeze. While Batman is naturally concerned about the company his former Robin is keeping, Jason actually manages to get the Dark Knight to look the other way in this new issue.
Lately, Red Hood has had no choice but to lead a team of partially resurrected supervillains as part of a probationary government experiment (surprisingly run by a reformed Two-Face). However, it's gradually been revealed that one villain in particular has been manipulating Task Force Z since the very beginning: Mr. Bloom. Now, Red Hood, Tw0-Face, and zombified versions of Bane and Mr. Freeze are working to uncover the larger conspiracy behind the project in the new Task Force #6 from writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Jack Herbert.
Naturally, Red Hood and his dark allies are stopped by Batman who wants to save Jason and put his foes behind bars before Todd gets further pulled into the mess Task Force Z has become, having been exposed and made to look like terrorists by Bloom. However, Red Hood is determined to see the mission through, appealing to the Dark Knight to look the other way this one time while he works with three of Batman's biggest rogues. Furthermore, Jason asks Batman to trust him as the son he raised and trained (a tactic that surprisingly works).
Incredibly, Batman relents and allows Bane, Freeze, and Two-Face to go help Red Hood as they investigate the nefarious work of Mr. Bloom who's been orchestrating the entire operation from behind the scenes. According to Jason, if there's no hope for the three villains to be redeemed then there's no hope for Red Hood who's certainly experienced his own darkness. Reminding Batman that he was raised and trained by the Dark Knight himself, Jason believes he should be worthy of his trust. It's a huge moment for the son and his surrogate father who rarely see eye to eye on anything beyond a desire to take down criminals (even though they carry differing definitions of what that looks like).
At any rate, Red Hood's zombie team has been a wild ride from the very first issue with supervillains being partially brought back from the dead in order to control them. That being said, Bloom has been pulling all the strings towards a major endgame that could see a lot of people getting hurt. Remarkably, Red Hood and the aforementioned villains seem to be the best chance Gotham has. While Batman might not like it, it's nice to see that he at least trusts his adopted son enough to give him and his greatest rogues a chance.
