Do you guys think Bendis will be a blessing or a curse to Tim Drake? I had initially thought it would be hugely positive--now I'm not so sure.

It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

I thought the story had a really interesting premise and setup, but failed due to the current narrative drive that Batman must always come out on top: i.e. shown as superior by making someone else lose. (Also known as the Batgod.)
Instead of showing an understanding between two old adversaries, the Penguin is electroshocked and pulled away by Bruce Wayne's goons for no reason other than claiming he was smarter than Batman. And then Bruce calls it a good visit.
Are you kidding me ? after that Daredevil run, i would give Batman to Bendis my eyes closed.
