Daredevil Message Board

Ideally, the legal system's focus should be justice, but the system is flawed so sometimes justice is swept to the wayside in favor of the law.

This reminds me of a quote that is sometimes attributed to why Bruce Wayne chose to become Batman instead of a cop or FBI agent- 'Is it Justice? No, it's the Law'

Bruce's concern is more about true justice than the broad limitations that the law carries that sometimes prevents or alters true justice being meted out. I think the same could apply to Matt. By working within the DA's office, Matt could witness innocent victims not being served the justice they deserve and see criminals passed over for the real justice they require. That would certainly have an effect on his activities as DD as well as disturb his own principles.

Depending on how Soule portrays this, I think he is setting Matt up for some quality drama and conflict.

They said Matt is now a young man out of law school hired to work for the DA office or some **** like that, didn't they?
That pretty much means a big reset button.

edit: sorry, I mean "stuff like that". geez.

Reading over the interview, maybe not. What Soule says is:

Samuel Chung sounds like a really interesting character. Cant wait to see how Matt adapts to being the master as opposed to the student.

Tenfingers sounds awesome too. I really liked Bloody Lips from the Elektra series and so hopefully we can get something a little like that.

Everything I've read about this new story sounds awesome.

My interpretation of young ADA sounds like new ADA more than anything else. I also trust Soule to do his research (he certainly did for asylum petitions in She-Hulk). Do Manhattan ADAs really work until 1am? That's insane!

Soule said that Matt's boss was inspired by Robert Morgenthau who is mostly remembered for investigating corruption in the NYPD and clamping down on blue collar crime so I would expect to see a lot of that kind of stuff in his run.

Very excited for this new creative team, seems like just what we need!

Couple of points on the costume -
1) like that its black, really makes more sense for a ninja based superhero!
2) love the wrist tape! although he is martial arts trained DD learned his trade as a boxer first, it makes sense that he would tape up his knuckles, and it just looks really cool too!

I can't wait to read this and finally put the current series to rest.

I just finished reading Soule's first She-Hulk trade. While it's fun, it's light on superhero action. While the legal drama was interesting, at times it felt that he might as well have been writing an Ally MacBeal comic. The tone was very irreverent, and I'd say even more so than that of Waid's Daredevil.

I'll give Soule's Daredevil a chance, but I'm not sure, based on his She-Hulk run, that he's the appropriate man to steer the post-Secret Wars Daredevil.

Oh god yes, I love the art I have seen for the new book! I'll even go so far as to say DD's new costume has really grown quickly on me. Of course I am so excited to finally get my Daredevil back, that I'm willing to happily accept numerous style changes to the character, as long as they bring back the darker gritty tone and feel, and go back to some sort of semblance of what made the superhero Daredevil Man Without Fear such a icon to me.

Junior is definitely rank and not age. It's an exciting change because it aligns his interests. As a defense attorney I always imagined he'd have a lot of guilty people walking through the doors wanting to get off a sentence. We never saw an overload of that and it gave Daredevil something to investigate when it went the way of an innocent wrongly accused. Now he is going to actively pursue criminals in court and probably still be let down.
