HOTW- Daredevil

 

From Wiki- As a child, Bart Hill had been rendered mute by the shock of seeing his father murdered and himself being branded with a hot iron. Orphaned, he grew up to become a boomerang marksman, in homage to the boomerang-shaped scar left on his chest. Like Batman, introduced a year earlier, he took up a costume to wage vigilante vengeance.  Biro rewrote Daredevil's origin in issue #18 (August 1943), now depicting Daredevil's real identity, Bart Hill, as having been raised by aborigines in the Australian Outback.

She-Hulk 08- Ribbit and Rip It

 

IN which Jen represents yet another d lister wannabe hero.  This leads her into conflict with the superhero suit designer, who also makes Shulkie's clothes. Luke Jacobson.  Guess who represents Luke?  One Mr. Matt Murdock, Esq.  Jen loses her case and her designer all at once.  However, she does make a new friend when Matt buys her a drink at Legal Ease (yes, I am slow and just noticed the name).  The sparks fly but suddenly both have to "work".  The Leapfrog has kidnapped Luke, and after Shulkie meets Daredevil and they have the obligatory misunderstanding battle, they join forces and save the day.  Jen and Matt go back to her place, and in the morning she is surprised we are still watching.  Uh oh...

Spider-Man and Daredevil

 

After watching the "Man without Fear" two part episode of the 90s Spider-Man cartoon, I want that live action Spider-Man/Daredevil team up movie even more now.  The MCU has all the pieces they need.  Think about it.  They have the Kingpin there already, so all the pieces are ready to go.  Matt would be able to tell that Peter is Spider-Man the first time he meets them both (same heartbeat, etc).  It would be such a great buddy movie.  Or series.  I don't care, it just needs to be done.

a really good lawyer

I really want a Spider-Man/Daredevil team up movie now.  It was so nice to see that cameo in Far From Home, which made me think of all the times Spidey and Daredevil have teamed up, and even fought each other a time or two.  I had some comic book where Matt told Peter he had known who is was for some time, and then revealed his secret.  DD was always a bit older than Spidey, but they always felt like brothers to me.  I love that dynamic between the two heroes.  I hope it is done in any possible future movie to be made.

Daredevil

After all the nerdishness about this new show I'm slowing making it through the first season.  It's well acted and written, but still seems far more crime drama than superhero show.  I've never been a huge DD fan, though I do like the character.  I have never seen the Ben Affleck movie, but I do remember Rex Smith taking a turn as DD in the last Hulk movie.  I've heard how gritty and realistic this new version, so I was a bit askance at watching it.

Daredevil Special #3

I owned this reprint of Daredevil #16 and #17 in 1971.  I didn't quite understand all of it back then, and of course, read it to pieces.

it's the second meeting of Spider-man and Daredevil (the first one occurring in Spider-man #16 as well, coincidence?) as they fight and then team up to battle the Masked Marauder.

I always thought it was a Spider-man reprint, which made it hard to find, since it wasn't.  I hadn't thought John Romita was drawing Daredevil that early in the run of the book.

it's really a fun story, and the character moments are good.  Foggy Nelson plants the seeds of him being Daredevil in Karen Page's mind, which promptly makes Karen think Matt is envious of Foggy.  no one did superhero soap as well as Stan Lee back then!

the art is gorgeous, which really doesn't need to be said, since it is Romita drawing it.  here's the credits:
