I admit, I'm interested in seeing how he would handle Superman in either one of his current titles or a new ongoing series. I know Batman may be the face of DC now but letting him onto a Superman book is giving Bendis the key to the kingdom, a big sign of intent.

However, I think he would be a bad fit for the Legion. The cast is far too large for his writing quirks (cue the double-page spread of the long back-and-forth banter conversation) unless in whatever form DC brings the team back, they somehow streamline them.

Frankly, given his love of alternate histories and grand cosmic epics, I find Hickman to be a much better choice for guiding any new Legion adventures.

If he is aiming at Vertigo Crime, it could be interesting. He started off strong with 3 or 4 crime titles before moving to super-heroes/Marvel titles.

The only one I checked out was Moon Knight, perhaps it's above the average, I didn't think much of it.
Had Moon Knight's other personas, (who were in this rendering standard Marvel super-heroes), were result of Knight's imagination (as is the case with MPD - they don't use existing personalities, fictional or real-rife), as if they don't exist in that Universe, and no one knows for them (MK is the sole masked-hero on Earth) - that could have been more interesting.

One thing I liked about that MK were dialogs - well done, natural flow.

Regarding re-vamping of existing titles, Marvel/DC they are doing it since the late 80s. If that's it - it's the same old same old.

Some have pointed out that Johns is kind of the de facto architect of the current DCU and his writing style is the "house style" for storytelling for DC currently, so the heavy Johns content could be a way of being a primer to the current editorial and style/process expectations of working for DC rather than for story/character background.

With the Hickman rumors swirling again, I’d love to see he and Bendis collaborate on The Legion together.

What popped into my head was him writing Green arrow.

I know he announced a couple months ago that he was doing a “Punisher: End of Days” series.

Wonder if that was his last project at Marvel or if it was scrapped completely. I need something to wash the taste of Becky Cloonan’s craptastic run out of my mouth. Garth Ennis’ Punisher: Platoon is stellar, but it’s strictly a war comic detailing Frank’s first tour in ‘Nam.

As Stevo alluded to, I think Bendis is better suited for gritty street-level heroes.

If they put him on a Batman title, I’d probably be inclined to check it out. But everything about Batman has become so damn convoluted ever since guys like Morrison and Snyder got their hands on him. And it seemed like there was a continuation of that in the 6-7 issues of King’s run that I gave a shot.
