"Darkseid...always hated music..."
Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."
Lois or Steel... they'd be made huge. To the idea of a big name not coming aboard for Superman, I have some faith in that we saw Yang, Pak, and Romita go straight to Superman. If he wants to hop on I think DC will work to make it happen.
For the most part, this is the position I also take. For about 15 years we've seen so many popular creators sign up and blow their wad on a short run with little to no connection to what came before, and/or poor footholds established for succeeding creators. But ultimately, having another Superman project beats not having another Superman project.
Oh f#%k......they're probably gonna give him Justice League. Man, that really freakin sucks because that means Christopher Priest has been relegated to just "transitional writer" for that particular book. But it makes sense given that would've been two bimonthly books for him to write. Of course they'll give the big Marvel get Justice League a few months after the big movie comes out. I'll be absolutely shocked if this goes any other way and he ends up on Superman of all places.
Call me when DC grabs Al Ewing. If he were on anything other than Superman (or a Legion book) I'd call some serious BS.

Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. THAT's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S Gurren Lagann! MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!" - The Digger
We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
Get another Superman project. Revive Superwoman. Lois Lane. Daily Planet. Steel. Those can work. In fact i want them. Bendis can make one or two possible. The overall sentiment at DC sub forum is bad. I am loving the present books. Action and Superman. I definitely don't want him on these books now. Perhaps sometime later.

Superman is just not a good fit with Bendis's style of writing. Maybe Steel, but not Superman. Bendis does not have the imagination needed for a character like Superman.
Expect him to get a spot on the Action Comics 1000.
I miss Pak and Kuder.

Someone who's never even touched the character before has no business on Action #1000.
Not saying you don't believe that as well, just scoffing at the possibility in general.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
In a symbolic "even though I've always been a Marvel fan, Action Comics has remained the gold standard, and I wanna pay my respects to that" sort of way, yeah it makes sense to me. I'd actually love to see Robert Kirkman get a spot off that same logic. And Neil Gaiman has hardly even touched the character (a team up one shot with GL) but you better believe that I wanna see him in there.
But speaking just on Bendis, I wouldn't be surprised if getting a spot on 1000 wasn't part of the incentive for exclusivity. but, that's just me speculating as someone with literally no knowledge of the inner dealing of comic book companies.

Bendis on Superman?
F**k, yes, i'd pay to see that.
Check out his tumblr - he's posted as much DC comic art as Marvel over the years - he also seems to be very fond of Legion. He posts art from every era of comics. Here's some Superman stuff he's posted:

Also he said that Superman, Superboy, Supergirl, Steel, and Krypto could each beat Batman in a fight in this hilarious post: http://brianmichaelbendis.tumblr.com...er-as-a-way-to
(I mean I love Batman, but c'mon, there's no way he could beat Supes...)
Get ready for a gay Jimmy Olsen.
Jon is probably going to be autistic now.
Lucy lane will be a lesbian now.
Kenan will have asperger.
