Be it his voice, personality, or even character history, Bendis has failed on all sides with him.
On the other hand, if Bendis hadn't come along Cassie (who vanished when Rebirth started) and Conner (who was replaced by a new version in New 52 and therefore had been gone since Flashpoint) would've still not been around. I wonder also if Bart would've not returned in Flash #50? That was probably set up requested by Bendis too. Of the YJ4, only Tim had been getting a push, having been used in Detective Comics.

It's a trade off. He's damaged some characters but restored others. He also saved Supergirl from cancellation, as it relaunched to tie in to what he was doing in Superman.
