All good comments. But I'm hoping that they don't do all that history. I never liked films where it takes an hour to do the hero's origin, when everyone who cares knows it already. I know they have to explain DD's origin ( as much as I think the boxer who wouldn't take a dive is a cliche and I don't want to see it again), but I was hoping to cover it in one episode, maybe even some quick flashbacks, and I don't want to wait while he sets up a law office. I assumed they'd get right into the ambience of Hell's Kitchen. But I do agree with you, any villain can be cheesy with the wrong writers, and a good writer can make any of them worthwhile. And I personally hate any name, hero or villain, that begins with "Mr." |

I really hope that the entire series isn't about his origin. |

How would they make the whole series about his origin, that wouldn't make sense. It seems like something you could over in an episode or two, but you need to cover, because the general audience is far less familiar with DD then fans are. Anyway Newsarama had a list about what they want to see in a DD series:
http://www.newsarama.com/19674-10-things-we-d-like-to-see-in-the-marvel-netflix-daredevil-series.html
I agree with most of what they say, expect the yellow costume appearing, I really do agree with the sentiment of the number 1 point, if its an entire TV series, villains besides Kingpin and Bullseye should appear.
In terms of villains who shouldn't show up: Jester is too much of an obvious Joker rip off, Mr. Fear used the fear gas gimmick before Scarecrow, so whether he is a rip off is debatable, but Jester is a rip off of the most famous super villain of all. Stilt-Man would cost too much and his cost could not be justified by the limited role be would play on the show. Seriously if you want some goofy villain for DD to beat up within the first 5 episodes of an episode there is Matador, Leap-Frog and Turk, Stilt-Man brings nothing important to the table.
I think most of the other villains can work, though as I said before, Bushwacker and Mr. Hyde might be tricky to do in live action. I think some of the Silver age villains like Owl, Mr. Fear and Purple Man can fit.
I wouldn't mind tweaking some of the villains though, instead of the Wild Boys being just two street punks, it should be an entire street gang, working as low level enforcers for Kingpin and recruiting the poor kids of Hell's Kitchen into their ranks. |

Well, some good ideas, but it sounds like they're trying to encompass every interpretation of DD, light and dark, and while you can do that in 50 years of comics, the tone for a series has to be fairly consistent. I don't want to see the yellow costume, and would be surprised if they took the time for that, as well as using villains that look like they belong in the 60s Batman show.
I still don't get this insistence I often see that DD had exceptionally goofy villains. They weren't unusual for the time, and only Stiltman appeared often enough to become a running joke. He hasn't met Purple Man, actually a pretty good villain, in what, decades? And before Bendis's artsy Wake Up, I think he fought Leap Frog (who was at least nicely grotesque looking) twice... in 1967. Hardly worthy of lifelong humiliation. He's getting laughed at by people who weren't even born then. |

I would greatly enjoy seeing the owl. I think the Enforcers would help with the gritty feel. They could try on their own for a bit and then join Mr. Fear and become the fellowship of fear. As for the yellow costume, I think it would be cool to see it for one episode but no more than that. What that show obviously needs is mike murdock, though. Heck, why even have Matt? Who needs a boring stuffy lawyer when you can have a fun loving ladies man like mike. (Just kidding. There really needs to be a sarcastic font.) I have great hopes for this show, though. Can't wait!!!
By the way, have they confirmed that it was only going to be 13 episodes or is that just an assumption? |

Sweet! It would be awesome if looked like that! Almost anything would be better than the leather costume, though. |

About the picture, I'm not sure I like the ear holes (even though they make sense) but other than that it looks awesome. I hope they actually come up with something similar. |

This was my concern when he was initially associated with the Spidey projects. Like I said, people in the business can juggle several projects at once but I still can't help but feel that it will either result in Goddard having less input with DD or possibly handing it over to somebody else. But I hope I'm wrong because he seems so right for the series. |
