 |
|
| Hi, I know DD is usually known to use billy clubs, but has he ever been known to use any other weapons? Like a bo staff,tonfas, or nunchucks (nunchaku) ? |

When DD was wearing the Black Armor costume, his clubs could connect and extend to form a bo or be linked to form a nunchaku.
Recently, cover artist Lee Bermejo (issue 91) and Michael Lark (issue 96) have depicted DD using his two clubs linked as a nunchaku (but it seems it was just for a stance).
On at least one occasion, DD has used a ninja sword (Miller run, in a fight vs three big guys of the Hand).

A totally forgettable episode written and drawn by Joe Quesada (DD: Father) has him dressed like an overweight parody of a samurai/kendo fighter. In that occasion, he wields a katana and uses also a weighed net and a sort of smoke/gas capsule (he was able to throw it with his toes).
But one could just pretend it never happened. |

Same here. I do a great effort to forget that arrogant new bunch -with little taste for clothing- dubbed The Santerians (shouldn't it be "Los Santeros"?) and the silly story about Jackie Eyes or whatever that idiotic serial jerk was called.
Someday I could make an even greater effort and pretend that "Guardian Devil" happened in some crazy alternate universe, and Karen Page is alive, Matt Murdock is happy, and Normie Osborn has a new papa.
Oh, but I digress: I came here to talk about weapons.
Here you have Wally Wood's skecth of the inside of DDs Billy-club. The transistor, microphone and recording tape seem to have dissapeared, but I bet they were practical appliances.

Wow, how technology has grown in the past half century! How would they put all the gadgets in now?
Transistors=microchip processors
Tape recorder=digital recorder
Switch=voice activation
Of course, all this would be rendered useless with one big degaussing swipe of a magnetic pulse. Buy yourself a disposable cellphone, Matt, and hang it on your belt.
(At one point, DD even carried some sort of "vitamin pills" so he wouldn't have to stop to eat. Wonder if they were FDA approved?)

Fortunately, 99% of the times he just uses the billy-club to bonk baddies in da head.
In the first annual, he used to have some other nourishing pills or something like that.
And what's that "reflector shield" thingie? When did he use it? |

| Well, you know, "reflector shield". It sounds useful, if anything. |

O, these are interesting ideas: radar and enhanced senses are fine, but DD shouldn't ignore the advantages of modern technology.
You know, I am nostalgic about the time when an artist like Wood would take time to draw imaginary gadgets inside DDs billy club. Today's artists get lazier and, instead of a transistor, they show Matt having some ninja telepathic conversation.
Incidentally, he used an Avengers-purchased cellphone in "playing to the camera", though he doesn't seem to have used it since.

"Vitamin pills"? Foggy's eating habits have ben often criticised by Matt and others, but I bet a home-delivered pizza is healthier than some strange "vitamin pills".

| Yes, but back then he still hadn't developed the Billy-club with extra-dimensional housing for pizza. |
