I hope that it is something like Detective that can be easily ignored if it is bad.

Detective Comics isn't available, so it's either Batman itself or a side character (Nightwing?) if he gets a bat book.

Mate Tomasi isn’t a big writer, they can totally kick him off. Hell they already did that with Tomasi once with Superman. Unlike Superman the reaction to Tomasi’s Tec has been pretty tepid from what I’ve seen, so I don’t think there would be as much backlash if he gets moved off and placed on something else.
I don't know. When someone ends a book on their terms, they usually say something like I told the story I wanted to tell. Or I felt it was time to move on. Here he said that he had to clear the decks for a new project, which would seem to imply he either had to make a choice to give this up for a new project or someone else made the choice for him. Either way, it doesn't sound like he left because he came to the natural ending of the story.

It won't be Batman, Tynion is lighting it up right now, DC won't mess with it.
Detective might be nice, I've enjoyed Tomasi's run, but it hasn't been a stand out.
Possibly Justice League, though if he writes it at the pacing he did YJ it won't last long.
Nightwing would be interesting. Jurgens inherited a dumpster fire from Lobdell and hasn't made it any better. I think the book is due for a change especially now that Dick is back.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
I've enjoyed his interpretation of the Question (Vic sage) I doubt we will get a series but I'd like to see him in cameo's more. So maybe Green Arrow?
Here are a couple of titles I think Bendis would suit:
Flash
Manhunter (Kate Spencer)
Green Lantern
Chase
Batman
Give him Shazam. I think he’d do well with Billy Batson and the Shazam fam.
He'd be good with the family set up, yeah, he's written from experience regarding adoption before (in Iron Man and Naomi). But is magic in his wheelhouse?

DC should give him something like Green Lantern. It's a property that has already been proven to be malleable, there is a history of writers creating their own lanterns or expanding the mythos, and you can make it any type of story framed within space sci-fi. If not that, then they need to find a way to make him cooperate with other writers and editors in the whole line, not just giving him his own sandbox. Let him be on "Detective" opposite a continuity-heavy "Batman" writer, or let him tell a Booster Gold story to actually elevate a character and fun with them. He doesn't play well with others, so just give him a fun character.
Bendis had a Batman story in the recent Detective oversized issue drawn by David Marquez. Is this the new Batman creative team debuting?
I'd rather they took over Justice League to be honest.
