I don't know. A better question would be: Is DD's club outdated? Should a writer give him a better weapon? Nothing says "I'm not going to kill you" better than throwing two red sticks at your face.

You do have a point there.

However, I admit that it's a bit hard to believe that a red stick can kill a person, even if it's thrown with force.

Bullseye has killed people with playing cards before, so killing people with DD's billy club is not what of the question.

Yeah, but that's Bullseye. DD could never do it even if he tried. He'd, at best, give someone a big tummy-ache. I like his clubs, but a cool idea would be a club that extends to a cane or a bo. Some of the best fight scenes are from Man Without Fear when MM fights those street punks with his cane or when Maleev drew MM fighting the Yakuza with a bo.

How many times are we going to see the fight scene where DD misses someone with his throw only for the club to hit some wall and bounce back to strike his opponent in the back of the head?

Even Spidey got his weapon updated via his armor thanks to Stark.

DD is not trying to kill people, merely knock them out or disable them, which is why the billy club is such a good weapon for him. Give him a bunch of high tech devices and he will start to look like Batman, plus I hate Spider-man's new costume, he's a street level character, he shouldn't have all this high tech armour, its nonsense. The bo is an interesting idea, it seems to me the billy club would be easier to carry around, with DD having to jump roof top to roof top, all the time.

This brings up an interesting question. Could DD kill a person by throwing his billy club if he wanted to?

He can bend bars by detecting weakpoints in the metal, etc. I'm sure he COULD use his powers to not only pinpoint the exact spot to hit (e.g. someone's eye, etc.), but also the perfect velocity, etc. to kill someone with a his billyclub.

In the What If by Bendis, DD kills the Kingpin by throwing the Billy Club.

its very do able especially with dd's ninja training and pressure point knowledge. a dull blow to the temple with the billy club could kill a man.

the billy club is just really an extentable (albeit very extentable) pair of nunchukas, a favourite weapon of ninjas, martial artists and turtles, i don't think any update is needed.

altho a dd with a samurai sword would be awesome.

Only if said Samurai-Daredevil doesn't look like that goof ball drawn by Quesada in DD:Father.
