Amph Marvel's Daredevil (Born Again, Now Streaming Again)

Spoilers must be tagged until April 1st




First of four Marvel series to be released on Netflix leading up to The Defenders. The series is due for release sometime in 2015.

 

Cool!

 

Is this produced by Columbia/Sony or did the rights revert back?

 

Rights reverted back earlier in 2013, maybe even 2012, if I recall correctly. Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces, The Grey, The A-Team) pitched a darker Daredevil movie set in the '70s and heavily inspired by Frank Miller's run, but nothing came of it.

 

I'm looking forward to the day when Marvel takes over the cartoon department of The New Yorker.

 

If a Defenders show happens, it'll get cancelled.

 

Defenders always get cancelled

 

Worth noting that Drew Goddard will be the showrunner for Daredevil and will write and direct the pilot. He's worked on Buffy, Angel, Lost, and Alias in the past and also co-wrote and directed Cabin in the Woods. I'm very excited for this series!

 

See, Daredevil and Punisher are two heroes who work better in a TV format than they do in a film. Same way Arrow's been a great series for DC. So yes, count me as excited for this one. Just hope there's some TMNT crossover.

 

wtf is the Defenders and what's the practical difference between them and the Avengers? I look at the overly-long wiki page and there's a comic cover prominently featuring Hulk.

 

Defenders was Dr Strange, Hulk, Namor, Hulk and others. They tended to fight supernatural threats.

 

I'm excited for this, I've never read the comics but I always liked the idea of Daredevil.
Netflix has done really well with their original series' so far, so I have hope they will continue do so with this.

 

You should be demoted until you read at least one Frank Miller DD story.

 

what's namor?

 

oh wait nevermind looks like its just discount-bin aquaman. got it

 

what's luke cage wasnt that the dude in mortal combat who never wore a shirt?

 

wait i thought the first mutant was that dude that fights superman with laser beam eyes

also i thought aquaman WAS king of atlantis?

 

It's certainly on my list of things to read, I've only recently gotten into comics. (The comics themselves, I've always liked other mediums inspired by comics.) DD interests me a lot.

 

dont movie rights, like, lapse and ****? seems like half the time they make a new one of these movies its becuase "the movie rights were gonna lapse" and it was cheaper to make the movie than to not make it
