I agree with Stardust on this one. J’onn pretty much telling Kal to take over the planet was ooc, at least for any MM I’ve read, which admittedly isn’t all that much. As for Flash he’s written more like the Ezra Miller version than comic Barry. Assuming that was supposed to be Barry, not sure if even Bendis knew.
He can't write Red Cloud or Rogol Zaar ooc they are his characters
Jimmy is sleeping in the office.
Zod so far was not bad
Perry is more J.Jonah Jameson than Perry White.
J'onn usually has stories like coming to the Kent farm and take a look at the Kryptonian to make sure he won't take over the world. He is a shapeshifter who makes sure to take a shape in which he doesn't look completely human, because he feels different, but so far I have never see him play the "who has had it worse" game like he did here. And that's never a good look for any character. Especially if basically in the same sentence he starts with his "we are better than humans, let's take over" speech
And if you think caca poo poo is acceptable writing, we have to agree to disagree and leave it at that

Perry White is fine. Absolutely nothing off there.

Yeah, Perry White has been great. And I’d bet Jimmy’s sleeping because he’s working the Levithan case himself right now after hours. Seems like a running gag that’s pay off like that.
Daily planet staff has been good under Bendis one of the many things he does justice.But the league members were not.
his Lois is all over the place. Sometime good, sometimes bad(very bad) . We haven't seen enough of Jon from him, to make judgement. I liked Clark's flashback Jon. But man of Steel felt a little more angsty to my taste.His voice for Clark is fantastic. That is what keeps me hooked.Characterisation for Clark and Lois has took a hit after 1004 .We will have to see if he does justice to the superfamily. especially after the previous runs. Reporting adventures are great but, I want more badass fighting moments from Lois. So she is not solely reliying on Clark for saving her and protecting her son.
But his arcs so far have been falling flat. And the first arcs in both the respective books were anticlimactic. decompression is sometimes unbearable. His mystery in action also fell flat. And now anticlimactic ending to this arc. He needs to atleast give some payoffs.he needs to have a tighter leash on arcs.
His Batman is fine, so is Green Lantern. We haven't really seen his WW or Aquaman yet to my knowledge. So I wouldn't say his Justice League is bad across the board.

Wonder Woman was only briefly in Man of Steel and was fine. His Batman and Green Arrow in the Walmart books have been really good. Flash is really the only one that has felt off.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
There was nothing special about that, but there certainly was nothing wrong with it, imo. He was nauseated because of the flux of the Earth. It just...was. It wasn't laugh out loud funny, at least not to me, and maybe that was the intent but at the same time it didn't bother me.
As far as using the Justice League in a solo book, it depends on how its executed. If you start giving equal time to what they're doing over the main character, then it becomes a problem. If they're very much in the background, with the point of focus still being keenly on the main character, then there's no problem. I've felt that thus far, every time Bendis has used the League, its been the latter so I don't see a problem there.
