But that presents us with a problem.

How do we approach reviews?

Thats probably because its a little goofy, even by comic book standards.

The use of Daredevils powers is interesting, though.

This episode basically assumes you know what Daredevils powers are, and never spells it out.

As well as introducing Nelson & Murdock, this episode also brings in a few other established Marvel characters.

Karen Page, Matts love interest from the comics, is hired as the firms legal secretary.

Most of the crooks are also established characters.

The Kingpins aide, Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore) is also an established name.

Again, the implication is clear.

The closing montage suggests that the new Kingpin has no problem with these things.

In this case the new characters might be standard Yakuza, but they might be connected to The Hand.

Well have to wait and see.

Again, it first appeared inDaredevil(1963) #1.

A great first episode with too much material for us to really cover here.

Its interesting how similar the first few scenes were to the 2003Daredevil, though.

Play some nu-metal over the top of this and theyd basically sit fine alongside one another.

That kind of indicates just how exit the original Daredevil movie was to getting it right.
