YMMV / Task Force Z

• Broken Base: Jason's continued abstention from using guns while in combat. Some readers aren't bothered by it and view it as the natural result of the story "Cheer" in Batman: Urban Legends — especially since Jason will still kill. While others, particularly fans of Red Hood and the Outlaws, feel as though his usage of crowbars as melee weapons removes a key part of the appeal of his character and makes him simply an edgier version of Nightwing.
• Complete Monster (includes Batman Vol. 2's "Superheavy" arc): Mr. Bloom is a terrifying, unfailingly jovial supervillain who was once a "nobody" until he underwent experiments that gave him mysterious abilities. Determined to cleanse Gotham of its weakness and create a new, chaotic land in its stead, Bloom spreads his mutating "seeds" across Gotham and convinces thousands of men, women, and children to use the seeds to gain power like his, leaving out the fact that the seeds mutate them into monstrous extensions of Bloom. Going on a rampage of death alongside his mutated followers, Bloom ravages Gotham and tries to set off an explosion that will take out the entire state. Though beaten, Bloom survives and creates the drug "Lazarus Resin" for Powers International, slaughtering the rest of the research staff and engineering a variety of lethal schemes to wipe out everyone else who knows about the secrets of the drug. After putting Gotham and Man-Bat through torturous experiments, Bloom tries to kill off Task Force Z and then sell the Resin to create a zombie army for the highest bidder.
• Narm: Jason taking up a crowbar as a weapon in Red Hood: Outlaw was already frowned upon by many fans, especially since Jason was memorably beaten to near-death by a crowbar back in A Death in the Family. But Task Force Z making the crowbars electric, with no clear explanation for how they become electrified, pushes them into ridiculous territory.
• Narm Charm: Jason Todd leads a team of zombie supervillains fighting for another chance at life on would-be suicide missions for the government, aided by Doctors Shelley and the Halperin Project. All while indulging in numerous zombie tropes and leaning hard into the B-Movie atmosphere of mad scientists and weird science. By all means, it sounds silly. But it helps that the book doesn't take itself too seriously and provides plenty of fun dialogue between the characters.
• So Okay, It's Average: General reception has been while the book isn't nearly as bad as Red Hood and the Outlaws, it doesn't generate much excitement, either, with Rosenberg's other book DC vs. Vampires receiving more praise.
