    Batman

    Character » Batman appears in 23633 issues.

    Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.

    Wouldn't Bendis make an incredible Batman writer?

    I don't understand why no one has acknowledged this post. Reading the reviews on this would be interesting.

    No. Just because he's good at street-level characters or noir doesn't automatically mean a good comic every time. His Moon Knight run was arse.

    In truth, I've simply had enough of Bendis, personally. Keep him in his current corner of the MU writing X-Men, where I don't really care what happens. His stay on the Avengers was a slog. There are just other writers I can think of to have a shot with Bats.

    I'm by no means a Bendis hater, his USM work remains one of my favorite comics, but that's my stance.

    @lykopis: Ok then since you asked :p

    When was the story made? Because the last time bendis took over a street leveler, moon knight was crazier than usual standards

    Second writing one book can't really determine the outcome of a whole run.

    He works with great artists only......Maleev,Bagley,Pichelli,Marquez,Immonnen,Finch and Deodato.......the last one,would draw an awesome Batman....

    EDIT : Found sample.....Deodato's Batman.

    @frogdog:

    Turns out to be a short story within a comic and a noir type alternate universe, lol (1980's - around there) . So yeah, I think it's fair to say the example wouldn't be the best in gauging how well Bendis could handle Batman for a run. ;)

    I would definitely like to hear his pitch for a Batman run and I would definitely give him a chance but

    Honestly, I'd rather have him write Nightwing. I feel he could write a good Dick Grayson.

    @lykopis: Heh it almost sounds like an opposite of his ultimate spider-man run.

    At least someone used evidence, to support the idea, rather than speculate on nothing.

    If that ever happens, however unlikely, I foresee a lot of banter over meals prepared by Alfred between Bats & various batfam members & associates. A lot of the rogues gallery will have useless continuity-destroying retcons done to their histories (See all of Bendis' Avengers books & "events").

    If he could turn back time and write Batman like he wrote Daredevil, I'd let him do it.

    @punyparker: Those ears are way too long, and the cape looks like a manga style Spawn cape.

    Thanks for uploading.

    @punyparker: I compared the ears and I think arkham is the longest it should be but this one is just a bit too long in my opinion, and the cape does look awesome but it just seems a bit out of character for Batman
