    Batman is a poor fit for his dialogue heavy style, Nightwing maybe but I'm going no for Bats

    I don't think it would fit Bendis' style. Also Snyder is doing an amazing job.

    I'd like to see that. Bendis is at his best when writing street level characters. If his Batman was half as good as his Daredevil I'd read it.

    My thoughts exactly.I would love to see what he would be able to do for nightwing or lesser known characters (or less popular characters) like beast boy or something like that.But nightwing.....yes,I would give it a chance and it may be really good

    I'd be fine with him writing Detective Comics or Dark Knight. Those are more likely to suit his "dialogue heavy style." Batman (talking about the title, not the character) seems to be less about introspection and more about the plot. Not to say Batman doesn't have some inner monologues in Snyder's work.

    ISSUE 1 SUMMARY:

    *Batman punches some nameless thugs for eight pages then goes back to the Batcave*

    Bruce: So yeah. My parents are dead.

    Dick: I know, right?

    Bruce: Totally. They're totally dead.

    Dick: Mine too. Our parents sure are dead.

    Bruce: Sure are. Incredibly dead.

    Dick: Dead as dead can be.

    Bruce: Really frickin' dead.

    Dick: Boy howdy, are they dead.

    Bruce: ...

    Dick: ...

    Damian: I'M LEAVING! THIS FAMILY IS FALLING APART!

    *Cut to Tim running around doing stuff, only to end on a splash page of Jason randomly shooting him in the face*

    Depends. Bendis has written incredible stuff (Ultimate Spider-Man is possibly the greatest comic I've ever read). But stuff like Avengers vs X-Men (haven't read, but I've read the plot and just... ugh). Overall, I don't think Bendis could write Batman right. I'm not saying the stories wouldn't be good, but he wouldn't write them right.

    @conradoaccorsi:

    What about issue 3? Will Batman dance Gangnam style with Arkham's prisioners or he will knock them out for a bad flash mob attempt? xD

    Joker would just show up with his face and there would be zero explanation.

    I'd like to see it actually. I'm not sure if Bendis could work it out and it would probably be different than most other Batman runs, but I think it would have a lot potential.
