I wish him luck. He is definitely a talented writer. And a pretty big name. Looking at this thread he is not liked here. It looks like he was not happy at Marvel.
Hope he gets work at DC which he is satisfied with and plays to his strengths. Now are there titles which need rejuvenation? Is it possible to revive Superwoman again? This time with more focus on Metropolis. What do the fans think of this? I am unfamiliar with his work.
With Bendis coming to DC can Sara Pichelli come with him I love her art.
Let's all look on the bright side: Bendis works with a lot of amazing artists so we'll get to see some DC characters looking gorgeous!
If y'all don't appreciate him, I'd gladly read him on Cyborg.
... just when I started reading DC. Well Miracle Man is a mini. No way he'd be able to screw with that... Right? They aren't going to give him a New God's book and let him kill people off just for the heck of it... Right?

I'm actually excited about this. I generally like Bendis. His tenure at Marvel towards the end was bleh -- I tend to chalk that up to Marvel's editorial direction. I hope he can find a project that will suit his strengths and recharge his creative batteries.
Hopefully, it will a title with a singular character in a grounded environment. I dearly miss that Bendis.
Yeah, his cosmic stuff is not that great. So I expect to see him on Superman. And even then, depending on how he approaches the mythos he might make it work. Doubtful, especially if he takes his ques from Johns, but he's done good stuff close enough to the Super wheelhouse before.
We gotta keep in mind that Bendis won't have the ability to go nuts at DC. At Marvel he was the biggest writer they had, king of the mountain. But at DC that's Johns, and he has the official title to back it up. For a lot of properties that could be a good thing.
I wonder where he'll go.....could be a new character from Dark Matter. Could be Milestone. I think he could make Firestorm work, actually, or even the Atom. Question, Arrow, just about any gritty street level character he'd be good for.....I dunno if he could hit the right chord for Nightwing but I'd give him a chance......
Oh that would be amazing. One of the industry's best right there.

I think they should give him Batman. King sucks on that title and they could use a good writer.
Batfans are already complaining of King's dialogue repetition. Imagine the rage when Batman starts doing Bendis speak. Good Lord!
