Likewise, while Rick Flagg is the team leader for Task Force Z, Jason Todd's Red Hood was selected to lead this team of zombies. This included Bane, whose body was seemingly recovered after the events of A-Day where reports claimed Joker staged the deadly attack on Arkham Asylum and murdered Bane. However, DC's Joker series revealed that the Clown Prince had been framed and that Bane was alive and well. Naturally, this contradicted the existence of Zombie Bane who'd been walking around with all his memories (Red Hood made sure Bane remembered killing Alfred before he kicked him off a roof).
