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.

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?

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.

Drew Goddard Confirmed As Director Of SPIDER-MAN Spin-Off, THE SINISTER SIX... Do you think it will a problem with the DD series?

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.

I'm hoping for the best with or without Goddrad.

I am also an activist and host a group on care2 and there's a post about Disney owning Marvel. The Fixer's fate in the original Daredevil film is unresolved but many people assume that he was killed by the Kingpin.

I'll watch the Daredevil television show. I hope that they have in it the origin.
