Whatever Bendis does with her has to be better than
'Bat, you are justice'
'Cat, you are justice.'

I think he would be ok on Green Arrow. Because of Torso and Sam and Twitch Gotham Central or Metropolis SPU. Because of Fire Checkmate or the Suicide Squad. If he could keep it street level Question or the Creeper.

Y'know, I think Bendis would probably be able to write a good Catwoman, but you just never know :p.

GCPD book where the cops look halfway competent?

Absolutely this.
I think putting Bendis on a Bat-book would be sort of a waste of potential. I know that Bat-comics sell, but the Batman mythos are a little too over-saturated, and honestly any DC character Bendis will be on, no matter how obscure will make money. Why be safe and put him on a Batman related book while he could make a B-list or C-list character uber popular.

Maybe write The Question?
Not Dick (This sounds so wrong).
[QUOTE=ChaoticScholar;3227877]Maybe write The Question?[/QUOTE]
From my personal bias that would be an excellent choice.
The stuff of his that I’ve enjoyed has been on fairly low to medium powered characters..Alias, Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-man.
On high powered characters, stuff like his Avengers I found his stuff really boring.
I wouldn’t be remotely tempted to read him if he was put on Superman or JLA. On The Question, I’d consider doing so.
I'm almost sorry to suggest this, but I wonder if Bendis would be any good on a revival of [B][I][FONT=Century Gothic]Sandman Mystery Theatre[/FONT][/I][/B]?

If you actually find King's Batman so ridiculous you ought to have been able to demonstrate that point with actual quotes from his comics instead of making something up. This is the definition of a straw man argument.
[QUOTE=ChaoticScholar;3227877]Maybe write The Question?[/QUOTE]
A lot of people have suggested the Question, but I'm conflicted. I don't know if he could do the either the absolutist Ditko version or the philosophical O'Neil version. And to split the difference and do the animated DCU version who's a conspiracy nut, I'm not sure that's in Bendis's wheelhouse.
You know what? This has nothing to do with Benids, but thinking about it, DC should get Howard Chaykin to do a Question mini!

Chaykin's writing (for me, at least) overall hasn't been very enjoyable since back in the last century.

I don’t consider King’s Batman ridiculous (other than the repetitive Miller-Esque dialogue), his portrayal of Selina could be...questionable at times. Then again, that is my opinion. I actually enjoyed War of Jokes and Riddles.
