Great news. They must be very happy with the reaction to this first season.

If Marvel has regained the rights to the Punisher, then I think that a really good story arc could explore themes that focus on justified killing. Already, season one has explored a moral dilemma concerning the conflict that can exist between law and justice as it touches on the protection and defence of innocents, and I think that it would be interesting to see how Daredevil reacts to a character who has taken the most violent stance in resolving that moral dilemma.

Also, I want to see the Rose as a potential antagonist.

Possible villains for season 2? Besides Bullseye and Elektra, are there other street level characters you wouldn't mind making appearances?

Typhoid Mary?
Ox?
Paladin?
Bullet?
Punisher?
The Enforcers?

I don't want Elektra and Typhoid Mary in the same season. I personally think the two characters are very different (when Elektra is portrayed as originally portrayed and not "MWOF crazy Elektra"), but Typhoid Mary has always suffered from accusations that she's a bad knockoff Elektra and I don't think she'd benefit from appearing at the same time.

Even though the Enforcers do have a Daredevil connection, they've always been slightly more campy, which makes me feel they fit better with Spider-Man (that means no Ox either). Granted, they could be used generically with no issues whatsoever and I bet they'd work fine. Bullet is another example of someone who'd be perfect generically and I'd love to see him any time next season that Daredevil needs to fight a tough guy. But I will admit I like his father/son dynamic that will probably be lost.

Definite yes to Punisher, definite no to Paladin. I think Daredevil, Elektra, Punisher, and Bullseye (as four different takes on the law and violence) would be pretty good right there.

If the Hand show up season 2, I'd love to see Kirigi. He's not a street level character, though, I suppose.

I also want to see the Gladiator (i.e., Melvin Potter in costume). I then want to see Matt defend Melvin in trial.

Good stuff Mike. I agree. Definitely not Typhoid and Elektra in the same season. I would love to see Typhoid in a later season.

I was just going through some old books and picking more street level characters that have appeared.

Is Elektra, Punisher, hand, and Bullseye too much for one season? How do you think they will introduce Elektra? Will Kingpin hire her from jail to go after Daredevil?

I would say hand heavy at the beginning and maybe elektra coming after him mid-season with the flashbacks similar to sticks showing how he met her.

I think if the punisher shows it should also be late season. Who knows... we may see them announce a punisher series in the next few months.

I want to see Larry Cranston show up as an antagonist in the courts, and then later at the end of the season or so have him start hating Matt to set him up as a villain for future seasons.

As for season 2 you have to do Bullseye and Elektra. And I want the Kingpin to come back at least behind the scenes.

Without knowing the state of play of the rights issues, it would definitely be interesting to have Punisher show up.

And Elektra and Bullseye would be great eventually, obviously.

I'm pretty sure the Ray Stevenson Punisher film was made by Marvel Knights studios which was just Marvel experimenting with an adult only type thing. Clearly it never went anywhere but I think they own the rights.
