Quite a shock. This will definitely bring a lot of Marvel people over to DC I'd imagine. I'm not a big fan, but this is likely good news for DC to get THE high profile Marvel writer. Wonder what books he will be on?
It's not imo. As a writer he is just not very versatile minus street level books unless you have the editorial big guns (at marvel) covering for his weaknesses, but there is none of that at DC and the big street character at DC, Batman, already is overflowing with writing talent. He is not needed there and he is pretty bad on non-street characters especially cosmic and powerful characters like most of the Justice League/Justice Society/Legion.
It all depends on what series he gets. Honestly, I would be interested to see him on Titans, TT or a potential Young Justice book(assuming that all this future Tim stuff leads to a revival of YJ).

Now that I'm thinking about it...if he can get DC to push their diverse characters more and bring them back from their 5 year hiatus or little background appearances from the new 52 then I'm ready to see him join. However, like I said in another thread he ignores too many things for his own good.
I would bet money he is getting a Justice League book. He is too much of a glory hound to come over if they were not giving him a flagship title so it is going to be one of the big ones.
A lot more Bendis speak I imagine.

You beat me by one minute! If the mods want to delete or merge my thread feel free.
This is a terrible news.
But I'm surprised that he left Marvel and wonder what actually happened?
batman and outsiders? Static Shock? The flash and the legends of tomorrow? Rose and Thorn? Gangbuster,? Harley Quin ? Who shall suffer from the phenomena that is Bendis?
