Brian Bendis is DC exclusive

[Dragonage2ftw]

...Well, that answered my question of how many Marvel fans are upset that Bendis won't be writing their characters anymore.

What did?

This thread?

Or in general?

Because most of the Marvel fans seem pretty broken up about this.

If DC was smart...
They'd do a street-level hero event like Shadowland to bring attention to the non-Batfamily urban heroes and use it to launch a new Outsiders.

He would do great with Batman, The Question, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Nightwing, Black Lightning, Huntress, Catwoman, Katana...

a lot of misery for DC fans...

[Thor-Ul]

That's like saying Batman is the story about an 8-year old orphan in a halloween costume who beats up the poor and mentally ill.

I agree with that sentence.

Not a stand-in, a replacement.
Not that it matters in this context because Jessica Drew isn't a male character.

Your origins doesn't matter, what matters is what you do with what you are given.
Jessica Jones started as a stand-in character, but then she developted in something far better.

Holy crap. This is huge. Whats going one with Marvel that they let him go.

The post before me.

Do they? In a way, that's good.

I ONLY HEARD BAD RUMORS.. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.. and CBR is talking about this everywhere..

I hope never see him in my comics, but this will happen someday.... or worst with divisive characters like Damian Wayne...

Wonder how long until Bendis has Batman call Poison Ivy or harley Quinn a "fat cow". Please, keep him away from Nightwing. He'll write Dick as a frat boy (not to mention the slew of Bevis and Butthead style of obvious jokes that he'll make with his name).

Peace

My thoughts and prayers to DC fans.

This was his choice. As he said, change is good.

Just like Jrjr, moved over a couple of years ago.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that eventually, guys want to work on Batman and Superman. See Tom King

Exactly.
In the '80s there were five Marvel heroes that were under Dennis O'Neil and considered 'the core street level heroes' of Marvel: Daredevil, Moon Knight, Power Man and Iron Fist, and Spiderwoman.
Spiderwoman was eventually moved out from under O'Neil and given to Gruenwald near the end of her series, likely because she was to become an Avenger. But then she was killed off when her book was cancelled.

It's no coincidence that those five heroes are where Bendis excelled at.

I wouldn't mind that if Kieron Gillen and Jonathan Hickman came with him.

...Are they still with Marvel?

Lord, I'm just trying to imagine him writing those characters .

I actually could see him wanting to write Harley though. She'd kinda of be in his wheelhouse in a lot of ways (the New York accent, Jewish, etc.)

Hickman? No.

Gillen's writing Star Wars though.

[Judge Dredd]

Holy crap. This is huge. Whats going one with Marvel that they let him go.

I am thinking it was more Bendis deciding to leave. Really what is left for him to do at Marvel he has written most major characters and if not has touched on them in the event books.

Edit: See people mentioning Hickman he needs to make it over to DC and do Legion or Superman.
