Maybe we'll get another Guardian revamp. (I'm actually struggling to think of DC street-level heroes outside of Batman family characters.)

Is there a Catwoman comic at the moment that they can put a "from the creator of Alias" blurb on the cover of?

FilthyImp posted:Bendy belongs on Legion. Good god no, not a team book. Give him characters like Hitman, or a Young Animal book, Guardian, Green Arrow, poo poo even Blue Beetle, but no teams. He always excels when he has one or two characters be the focus, when it's more everything becomes fractured. And a mess of word balloons and his main weakness of finishing a plot or storyline comes through.

Maybe not *the* solo Batman book, maybe a side book like All-Star (though I also wouldn't be surprised if they pull a Morrison on King and demote him to a side book). But either way, I find it hard to imagine he'd sign with DC if he wasn't promised Batman.

Well, also just that he's been exclusive to Marvel for over a decade and a half and has literally never written DC characters outside of one Batman Elseworlds story he did with Gaydos in 2000.

Yeah, jokes aside, even though I haven't liked his recent work, I know he's quite capable of good stuff. Hopefully a company change-up will get those creative juices flowing again and we'll get some good stories again, instead of poo poo like Post-Siege Avengers or Spider-Man

Whoa. I'll take it, but stay away from linewide events, okay?  ... That's not going to happen is it? edit: I bet he's getting Detective. Mark it. ee: What about Detective AND Action? That'd be a task big enough for him/his clout. I certainly wouldn't miss Jurgens. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Nov 7, 2017 |

It seems like Bendis already said all he could with Batman in his Daredevil run. But if we can get Daredevil era Bendis back and not current Bendis, that'd be cool.

A launch off of the Batman marriage thing should probably happen, and if they're not going to give it to Genevieve Valentine again, Bendis is certainly a better idea than some Frank Tieri type dude. edit: He'll deffo have a crime book for Vertigo's relaunch.

Bleeding Cool has an article speculating that Bendis might write a book with Zatanna. This is based on him saying in 2004 she's the DC character that he wants to write, along with Snyder recently admitting there were plans for her. And then one of the comments in the article: "Oh joy...Bendis speak, but done backwards."

It's hard to think about what kind of creative turn would be best for Bendis at DC. His early career is so different both in terms of subject matter and quality from his later period. I think the question were all asking is if he can ever be early 2000s Bendis again? He's obviously moving at least partially to refresh his work. Sometimes revisiting old glories can help, but sometimes it hurts. If he tries to revisit crime superheroes with Nightwing instead of Daredevil, it might be great, but it might be a horrible disaster. Maybe he's said all he has to say there, and trying to do that again is a dead end. Then again, his team and space stuff wasn't always the best. But who knows? Time to write Aquaman. A lot of this depends on the artists who are going to work with him too. If it's David Finch, which seems quite possible due to their shared history, it'll be trash regardless.

Yeah. I didn't remember Dead Poets right. I thought it was some solidarity table standing. edit: I'll keep adding speculation. If there's still any Watchmen crossover hanging after Doomsday Clock, he'll definitely be doing that event. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Nov 7, 2017 |

I thought that was some sort of Justice Society reference. (I've never seen that film  )Okay so Bendis is a pretty balls writer whose lovely tendencies have magnified tenfold throughout the years instead of getting any better (which to be fair is unfortunately kinda standard for a lot of writers) to the point that those lovely tendencies are all I can envision when I think of his work. buuut I've always said he might be able to do some nice work on a quirkier, more offbeat book like Flash or Titans. Books that don't require a ton of plot cohesion, but just needs a better direction and better character work than they've been getting...I wouldn't be opposed at all to him re-energizing any of DC's current weaker titles with his more creative tendencies. (Now watch him take over Superman from Tomasi)

I see Bendis writing more of a Robin book that Detective Comics. I understand giving him a big title book like Batman or Detective, but I think he will probably want to play with some less popular characters though so he can do his own stories without having to worry about continuity or such. Personally I would like to see him do Firestorm.

This is awesome. Bendis is clearly burned out at Marvel. A whole new universe to play in sounds like exactly what he needs.
