I'm guessing he's talking about these.

Not buying them, at all. Doesn't make sense with what they're building right now. And specially with all that's in the air about how Bendis is not the star he seemed to be sales wise (which, true being told, is not easy to buy too) and how people is unfalling in love with wha's he's pulling. Not to mention giving him ruling powers over such a portion of how the DCU works, not only the Supes portion of it.
I must point out I dislike Bendis for a bunch of reasons (mostly because how he writes). But with my head cold and all that, from a rational POV, it doesn't fit for me. And those rumours I was talking about are way older than Bendis changing companies.

Johns has the chance to do something no one else has done yet. Have Jason and Bruce talk about what the joker has done.
DITF has affected them both very deeply and they are still not over it. It has a potential to be a really emotional and personal story if Johns handle it well.
Uh oh. The Leviathan vs Checkmate thing is legit true and it'll also involve Spyral. These are part of Bendis' plans for Action Comics next year. Now you're all thinking just what does Jason and a bunch of Batman related concepts doing in a Superman book right? This is Bendis, he doesn't give a crap about continuity, mythology or staying inside normal limits and you can bet DC will give him power to do whatever he wants. Take his Superman book as an example, he's revealed his pet Rogol to be behind Kryptons destruction and he's linked it all with Tamaran, Green Lanterns etc. I'm seriously worried here, sure Jason will show up in multple books but between this rumor, Mother Panic, Johns comments about not healing right and Jason going brutal we might be seeing the return of late 2000's era Jason. My patience is being stretched thin with DC as it is due to Damian's parentage, Bendis in general , Heroes in Crisis related rumors and the marriage f*ck up. I pray this isn't true.
Mother Panic has nothing to do with anything. The book set in different universe and in completely different imprint where the writer can do whatever they want.
Also, Bendis said that the "Leviathan vs Checkmate" storyline is going to be the second arc of AC (he didn't say it was an event) which will probably start at the same time as The three Jokers story. This alone make it harder to believe that Bendis can use Jason as a "the villain" for an arc or that DC is going to change Jason completely in a book that has nothing to do with him.

hmmm
I'm saying that it could be part of a trend, I actually like Mother Panic and because its alternate continuity I'm not bothered but Bendis doesn't care about any continuity and neither does Johns. They can write something that completely contradicts the other and DC would allow it. These guys are beyond regular oversight and these rules dont apply to them. Just think about it, why the heck are Spyral and Leviathan even showing up in a Superman book anyway? also since when was Johns a big enough Batman writer to address TKJ and DITF or alter Joker's origins? but here we are.
Eh... Crap.
I guess I'm going to go through a "it doesn't matter, in the end nobody respects Bendis continuity, not even himself" mantra, which is what I did with Moon Knight and Hawkeye when he was involved.
He's a very, very, very flawed writer, from a merely writing style and form point, and I don't like how he writes. I don't like at all. It's not only that he doesn't give the slightest for continuity and previous or even current writers (which is something a lot of writers do). It's that he doesn't know how to write more than two types of characters, doesn't know how to write different voices for those characters, doesn't know how to give actual depth for them, puts too much trust in impact and melodrama, and has unoriginal ideas, and those ideas tend to be very simple, even. And I'm not going to even go into how he doesn't know how to write conclusions and has serious pace issues, because... oh well, I did it in the end, look at that.
I don't like his writing. Yep. I have a hard time getting why there are so many people that like his writing. I hope he doesn't get to put his pen into Jason, honestly.
