Now your heads will explode :lol
 
I had a couple issues of the Marvel NOW run, but haven't read them, I'm gonna start with those, and down the road get the Frank Miller stuff.

Start with Frank Miller's run. There's other good runs of the character, but from what I read, that's the best take on his universe until this show. I loved the Brian Michael Bendis run, but I did not like how he wrote the characters. When I read it, it was my all time favorite story-line, despite his characterizations. This series made me dislike his take on Matt even more. The relationship between Matt and his priest is my favorite part of this Netflix series. I wish the comic book writers would drop the whole "devout Catholic" thing, because they're not respectful to his faith at all. Miller just didn't show it, so it never bugged me. Bendis also writes a lousy Bullseye. The antagonism that Miller builds is awesome! There's this issue called "Roulette" that will, hopefully, blow you away!

If you love Year One Batman, that's basically Frank Miller's run. It's kind of sad reading, because you get an idea of what Frank Miller's Batman run would have been back in the day. Daredevil is basically Batman without the Robins and with low tech, which I greatly prefer. However, he doesn't have the detective aspects, the huge mythos, Gotham, the rogue's gallery, and the compelling psychological angle. Still, a lite Batman is still Batman.

Daredevil, Captain America, and Wolverine switch between my 2-4 favorite superheroes. Captain America was my second favorite, until I read Frank Miller's Daredevil, but Cap's villains are so much better. I checked out the Marvel Now Daredevil, and didn't like it because it brought the character back to his roots as being more fanciful. That's why I don't like anything Batman related past the 90s, other than the DCAU and the Nolan movies, since he's more plausible. I think street-level characters like Batman, Daredevil, The Question, Black Widow, Elektra, and Punisher work better grounded. Captain America and Wolverine work well either way though.
 
I just finished the last ep, everything fantastic until the final costume, reminded me of that dorky cap outfit from avengers [emoji38]

No biggie though, hopefully the suit evolves if the show comes back.
 
Kind of sucks that DeKnight won't be back for season two.

Marvel Entertainment and Netflix have just announced that Daredevil will receive a second season and it will arrive in 2016!

With the first season of "Marvel's Daredevil" proving a smash success with both audiences and critics, Netflix and Marvel will continue to create further adventures of the Man Without Fear! Doug Petrie ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "American Horror Story") and Marco Ramirez ("Sons of Anarchy"), who worked closely with Executive Producers Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Goddard during the first season, will serve as showrunners for Season 2. Petrie, Ramirez, Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods"), and Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") will serve as Executive Producers of Season 2.

“While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with Daredevil into its second season," DeKnight explains, "I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can't wait to see what they do with the show moving forward."
 
I'm halfway though the series now.

Kingpin is such a disappointment, he's written great, but he's portrayed horribly by what's his face, seriously, every single villainous figure big and small give more compelling performances than that dude.

I LOVED Dinofrio's portrayal of Kingpin. It's a departure from comic Kingpin (for a chunk of the series) but it's the perfect buildup. A sleeping giant that must be awoken and unleashed. SOOOO good!!!
