Actually I'm not a big Jason fan , but ever since he appeared in I think that it was Geoff John's mini ( The 3 Jokers ? ) with Bruce and Babs, I've come to like him more. So I've been picking up Task Force Z and so far it's quite good. It has a lot to read which I like, and this past issue even showed that Bruce was part of it initially. As much as I like Grayson better, his book seems more vanilla like and wish it went in the direction that Task Force Z is going.

She seemed to do fine with him in Countdown. Even defended him against Dick's and Tim's accusations when that side of the story of that event started as far as I recall (if I remember right, they blamed him for Duela's death: he didn't do it, and was saddened by her death). They worked a bit too tense, but not much, there was friction there, I think? But also, this was before Morrison's Jason.
I guess we will know, eventually, where she stands with current Jason now.

I don't think DC have nearly enough foresight to worry if they might receive similar backlash as Punisher had with that run. It's not that DC won't allow mystical elements, it was brought up plenty of times in RHATO. I think it's the same problem it always is with Jason, an utter lack of creativity and effort from writers to view Jason beyond the most surface level description. Otherwise, with his reputation, I think a deeper exploration into spiritualism, the supernatural, magic and/or the occult could be interesting for Jason, it may even open the pathway into being able to interact with more 'magic and/or mystical' characters like Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, Traci thirteen, Jason Blood, Black Alice, etc... Though personally my hope was always for a reunion with Death herself.

It has also the benefit that if you have Jason go up against Demons, Vampires, Ghosts, Zombies and other mystical horrors the whole "Doing what needs to be done" would be more acceptable without him coming in conflict with the rest of the Batfamily.
And in that corner of the DCU you have in general a lot morally grey characters.
