In a sudden act of vengeance for the death of Alfred Pennyworth, the Red Hood gets his revenge on Bane in a spectacular fight. In Task Force Z #3, Jason Todd is leading his undead squadron on such a hazardous journey.

DC Comics' fundamental continuity was altered by the loss of Alfred Pennyworth, to whose death Batman and other allies have felt lost ever since. Alfred's death has had lasting consequences on Batman's worldview; it still affects him to this day, as he believes in him more for his father figure and best friend.

Damian Wayne is also haunted by the phantom of Pennyworth after he witnessed him die before his eyes. Perhaps most unfavorable, Jason Todd was forced to lead the immortal form of Bane (titled Lazarus Resin, revived by Damian Wayne) as part of the new Task Force Z.

(Spoiler for Bane's demise in two paragraphs! It IS BEAUTIFUL!)

In Task Force Z #3 by Matthew Rosenberg, art by Eddy Barrows, inks by Eber Ferreira, colors by Adriano Lucas, and letters by Rob Leigh, Jason Todd awakens after being injected with Lazarus Resin as he prepares for his encounter with Deadshot.

The team negotiates a new deal giving them additional Lazarus Resin from Task Force Z's mysterious benefactor Crispin after a healing mission encounter Sharon. Jason Todd nearly comes down while Bane saves him and beats her to the ground.

Bane thanks the Red Hood for the increased Lazarus Resin dose, enabling him to be more human, prompting Jason to ask the villains if his memories return. Jason fiercely attacks Bane after realizing that he remembers killing Alfred, kicking him off the side of a skyscraper.

Despite some good behind this request, it appears that Red Hood asked for more Lazarus Resin to make Bane remember he killed Alfred. After hearing him say his name, he got revenge on the villain by sending him plunging to his death.

The Red Hood is not nearly the same killer he once was after being brought back to life. However, there's a darker side to him that's still influenced by Bane's death. Still, despite his current disposition, he's fairly certain that Bane's death won't be permanent, as he's returned with more Lazarus liquid.

Still, Revenge certainly felt good for the Red Hood might want to get revenge on Bane for the death of Alfred Pennyworth.

You can pick up the issue here, if you have not already picked it up.

It is a great read, and just reminds us all why Jason is the most badass member in the Batfamily.
