    Default Should Bendis take on a Gotham title?

    So Brian is now DC exclusive but no announcements yet about what he is actually taking on.

    He may not be everyone's cup of tea, he is pretty take it or leave it depending on the title and content for me, but I think his solid work comes from street level heroes, things like Alias and his Daredevil run come to mind. I think to me that's what stands out amongst his work.

    The dude can write like 4 titles at a time, and if he's passionate about it I can see him approaching a Gotham title if he wanted.

    I'm just curious, does anyone think he could fit into the Gotham titles or concept? Idk at the moment because I don't even know how he would a approach a DC title.

    Yes, Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-Man are IMO his best superhero work.

    Batman, Nightwing, and Tim Drake solos would all be in his wheelhouse. Or perhaps something like Gotham Central?

    Maybe a Street-Level GCPD title about Bullock, Montoya and Jim. Or the Question.

    Update: I've had an idea for the GCPD Series, maybe Jim, Harvey and Rene solving the Crimes that occur and Batman doesnt get to

    I feel like Gotham is too much like his normal niche for him not to write a book there but I can't say I want to see him writing any of the main Batfamily.

    I don't follow Marvel books, save a few trades when they are on sale on Comixology. What's the problem with this Bendis guy? The reaction from DC fans are overwhelmingly negative, at least on my social media. His arrival at DC is being treated with the same enthusiasm you might expect from an outbreak of Ebola. Anyone care to fill me in?

    I would be okay with this but how much does Bendis know about the current Batfamily? Or even DC continuity as a whole? Someone mentioned this in Cass thread I don't he knows who she is. I don't think he knows who Stephanie Brown is.
