The talent thing was more a general thing than a knock on Bendis, since I read trades and graphic novels only and am new to the comic reading fandom and still going through the collecting the classic storylines phase (money issues and lack of a LCS prevent me from keeping up with a monthly series, trades are kinder on the wallet than single issues). But as a newbie getting into comics I found when looking up the best of and classics any fan should have list, Batman has more titles recommended for people getting into this than Superman does. That's what I mean by talent, more teams should be working on the mini-and-maxi series and graphic novels and so forth that helped build up Batman's long list of titles every newbie should have. And those last two animated movies came after something of a draught in Superman movies. As a fan, I'd like seeing those movies roll out a bit more often, I get at least two or more Batman DTVs a year (counting not just the shared universe DTVs, but also things like the two Adam West cartoon movies, Batman Ninja, Batman Unlimited, etc.). Superman went some years between that Brainiac movie and Death/Reign.
And again, don't blame the fans. People didn't change, the Superman we got on screen changed.
