Daredevil would make good TV .. you got the lawyer thing .. the blind thing with "radar sense" .. you got the star crossed lovers thing ..you got the Kingpin ..
wouldn't require a big FX budget .. plenty of stories already written as a foundation ..

I agree. Make it primarily a lawyer show (Law&Order, Good Wife, Boston Legal, etc) and slowly introduce the Costume Elements and super villains as time goes on.

I hope they don't. DD deserves better.

I suspect that with as long as it has been, and that the original didn't exactly thrill people, Fox won't want to just throw money away just to keep the rights to something that they haven't been able to work with for this long anyway. I expect that Marvel will soon have another property back.

I could easily be happy never seeing another lawyer show in my entire life.

Interesting........according w/this article:
http://www.newsarama.com/film/marvel...daredevil.htmlthe Hollywood Reporter adding that Marvel had extended Fox's deadline to mount a Daredevil production two previous times but repotedly has refused to extend the deadline a third time, going so far to say the rights wil revert back to Marvel Studios this week."Everybody's Waiting," Six Feet Under finale episode

This. Hopefully they run out of time, and I think Fox cares more about Fantastic Four than Daredevil, so they're more likely to try and get that started first. Originally Posted by Rollo Tomassi

That really sounds fucking boring. A Daredevil tv show that's primarily a lawyer show, I'm guessing the superhero bits would be so half-assed that people watching the show would wonder why this superhero stuff was tacked on to the lawyer show. Originally Posted by Rollo Tomassi

A Daredevil lawyer show would go just as good as a Wonder Woman as a buisness woman show. The draw is the hero doing hero stuff.

Yay on Marvel getting DD's rights, but I don't really see where DD fits into Marvel's current plans...

People often complain online about frequent reboots, and superhero movie fatigue. It seems to me that these contracts with Sony and Fox will ensure that we'll probably never go more than a few years without a Spider-Man or X-Men movie for the rest of our lives. I wish Marvel could get the rights back to all their characters so that we could see the Marvel Cinematic Universe really expand. Although there's always the risk of jamming so many characters into a movie that it becomes an incomprehensible mess, I still want to see a movie where Spider-Man teams up with other heroes.
