"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I'll be surprised if it's not Waid to replace Bendis.
Waid is making noises like they are planning to put him on a Super-book. He was re-reading the entire Superboy run a while back. I doubt it was just for fun.
Assassinate Putin!
Hmm. Yeah that definitely sounds like he's getting something.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
I wonder what waid would do in the current status quo. Bring back vegetarian superman who sees auras. That explanation was really nice. Especially, for the no kill rule. It was sort of like fmab...
As far as I remember, Waid was not very happy with the idea of marrying Lois and their child. But at the same time, if he writes, he will obviously not be allowed to remove them, because Bendis has already received a ton of **** in his address for this.
I wonder what he would have done.
Or maybe he would write AC, so that there is no need to emphasize them.
^This.
I could see someone calling Jon "generic superhero kid" in Action and even in Superman. But the boy was definitely his own person in Super Sons. And I loved it.

As for who I want to take over for Bendis? I'm actually not sure. I'd be okay with Tomasi coming back but I'm also just as okay with him not. I know he wasn't everyone's cup of tea. So...Tom Taylor maybe? He's been one of the only DC writers I can think of who's been churning out consistently good work this year. And that's all mostly been in an alternate universe XD
At the expense of us talking in circles again....
Not really. I thought they both played really well off each other and that he was the best person Damian's been paired with since his time as Dick's Robin (though, like Damian said back in Batman Inc. Those two will always be the best). Their friendship helped show that Damian is and can be more than just angst and Daddy issues. That he's capable of letting himself become close to someone outside of the Batfamily (Granted, that should have been Maya. But I've resigned myself to the fact that Tomasi and Gleason are the only writers who care about her)
