 |

"practicing law in a new way we haven't seen before"
my money is on that he'll become a district attorney in New York. If you think about it, it's the perfect move to set a new direction for the character. he's done the law firm, done the clinic, Matt won't practise family law or corporate law no i think after all this time this is what he wants now after getting crimminals off the hook he wants to make convictions after shadowland as his way to redeem himself. He may not have the money to run a campaign but he "was" popular with people in NY enough to become mayor and since no one really knows what went down in Hells kitchen except for select groups he can still win with a popular vote even after the events of SL. Matt may have a financial benifactor to promote him. He was also jealous of Foggy in "parts of a whole" for possibly being elected for Nelsons Harvey dent like conviction success.
Remember: Nelson and Murdock are finished after SL and they'll both be solo lawyers. Possible court room battle(s)? hell yes
The other statement made that i'm paraphrasing here is that "Matt would use that "is he or is he not Daredevil" as a way of toying with people" so i'm thinking this will add a stronger spin on the police keeping a heavy eye on him while he's in office. All in all this sets Waids line of stories in a path that doesn't retread Bendis or Brubaker
idk just a theory, what do you guys think? |

That would be an interesting development.
Mine was that Matt would restart a law firm in which he would be the leader, but would have several people working for him, under his direction, and he would never, with possibly a few exceptions, have to go to courtroom again. |

He kinda was at that point with Sharpe and her large firm with the dozens and dozens of lawyers they directed but that being said he still went to court yes.
No i personally think he needs to practise law, the stories we've seen in the past have showcased Matt as an irresponsible time management lawyer due to his nightlife responsibilities often making him neglect his work for Foggy to pick up the slack. the movie actually showcases this because it was so apparent in the comics. If he was the head it gives him the time he was already exploiting in the first place. Matt needs to show himself and the public his redemption.
i think it's less exciting the idea that he goes out at night and sleeps in all day. the last thing we need is him becoming Bruce Wayne. no a murdock running on 3 or 4 hours of sleep is the Murdock we know and love

Refresh a poor man's memory. When did that happen?
That's certainly an interesting theory and a direction that I would like Matt to go towards some day. Yet I see some issues with this.
The DA is an elected position. Part of the select groups that knew about SL was His Honorable Mayor J. Jonah Jameson. I don't know his stance on Matt's 'supposedly' secret ID but I would think ol' JJJ would throw his political weight around if Matt runs for office and make his chances of winning harder.
Second, judging by Waid's comments about the effects of Matt's revealed ID, I took it that he was referring to Matt's reputation in the courtroom, with other lawyers and judges. Even if Matt gets an ADA job, you still have the suspicion of a vigilante working within the judicial system. Yeah, that's happened before in comics, but somebody in the DA's office has to bring up this nugget of supposed fact about Matt. Lawyers are a tight-knit circle. They know each other. So I find it a stretch that he could get any job with the DA's office. |

I've always had a huge respect for Matt in that regard the fact that he burns the candle on both ends and keeps fighting. Bruce may have the obssesive 2-3 days without sleep but he still keeps a schedule where he'll sleep till 3:00PM. Matt went out every night for patrols while he was with Karen and Milla (if what they said was true and not too biased) comming home at 4 or 5AM to go to work at 8:30. The guy doesn't know the meaning of "taking a break" even if he should recover. Murdocks the living symbol of his fathers words: "Never give up" and that's what makes him a stronger character then Batman in some regards because Matt Murdock/ Daredevil is a "realistically human hero" where as Bruce Wayne/Batman is not.

He was offered the democratic nomination during the first issue of "King of Hells Kitchen" by Bendis for using the 400 million dollars he won from the lawsuit and because he spent every penny on cleaning up the kitchen Matt was a hero to not only the Kitchen but to NYC.....he turned down their offer.
i agree, Jonah (due to his recent zero tolerance for murderers after losing his wife) will be down murdocks throat faster then * insert sexual reference here * for the international televised Murder of Bullseye however that's part of the fun/ challenge to see how Waid pulls it off.
Matt's dealt with the DA before (see White Tiger court room fight in "trial of the centuary") on angry terms therefore i can see that as a motivation to use those resources in office and turn it in the right direction against "real" crimminals.
Miller has shown that Matt at his worst hates being a defence lawyer because he helped crooks get off the hook even if for the most part he helps honest, good people. In the long run he stayed for Foggy at N&M, and then he stayed for Karen in the clinic now that he has no one this is his moment to shine. To be his own man as Stick says (i'm paraphrasing): if he really was his own man there would be no one big enough to pat his head and tell him what a good boy he is. he can't do what he's told, he has to make his own choices this time.
No Matt needs a position of power in the public eye. For too long he's been a shield against corruption. Now he needs to finally be the sword of lady justice. |
