With Daredevil Bendis wanted to end it with Matt going to prison but didn’t want to dump something like that in Brubaker’s lap to clean up. But when they had lunch together Brubaker suggested that Matt should go to jail and Bendis got excited and told him his plan. I think Brubaker would have had the prison happen later on but the two were able to coordinate it together.

Yep, that was exactly the thing I was thinking off. Bendis didn't want to write the next guy into a corner* so but it turned out that Brubaker was on the same page. Every other modern DD writer has been a drastic change from the person before them (including the Smith run that took everything Kesel built and burned it to the ground).

*Which is funny because he used to joke about how, if he ever left Ultimate Spider-Man, he'd do exactly that. Granted the context made it seem like he might have been poking fun at Stan Lee (who left Peter with extra arms) and/or Robert Kirkman (who REALLY wanted his job at the time). Plus he never actually left Ultimate Spider-Man.

In any case *looks at how he left the X-Men and what he's done with Superman* Bendis seems to have changed his mind.

Compare to Waid ending his run with a good thing of Matt out and about with his identity public, a good twist on the character...and then Soule has everyone forgetting it and Matt a D.A.
