Ok , so we know that Matt's radar sense pretty much equates to sight for him , but is there anything that he CAN'T do. Eg . Could he fire a gun ? Could he drive a car ? ect ect.

I dont think he can recreate a drawing accuratly. DD can see images and know where things are but he cant see in extreme detail.
Pre Crisis Ya
He cannot see, scream, hear or smell in space !

That and any detail that isn't raised or engraved.

Yeah, Daredevil's fingers are supposed to be sensitive enough to feel the printed word on a page, so technically shouldn't picking things up or hitting someone be a very painful procedure?
Lord Rock
He misses a gift we all have... The ability to use a computer, enjoy television, read comics... poor guy.... i also like him for his poor destiny, but the fact that he still archieves great things. Thats also the reason i am a fan of the Rocky-movies

Daredevil can't respond "yes" to the question "Did you see that?" without lying. Lol

Not really. Just means that wheneber he's hit he can feel every indentation and groove in the fist/foot of his assailant

As for computers, I'm sure he could learn to use basic stuff (Microsoft Office programs for example)... and surely he can hear everything going on on a TV, even the movements. He went to watch a film with Echo and they kinda managed...

1) Is DD's radar sense continuous or is there a delay like one would see in a real radar or echo location?
2) a) Can it detect through walls?
b) If not, could you line many opponents up behind something large to mess with his perception?

Ah ok
Wait how do you know?

Depends, if an inanimate object is behind a wall he won't know its there but a person still has a heartbeat, breath and various other signs of life for him to pick up on.

He can't clone dinosaurs eat
No in all seriousness I think his inability to differentiate colours must be frustrating

He can't use his sense to dodge bullet thats already been fired. Cause by the time the sound waves have bounced back the bullets would already hit him or be too close to dodge. Same for lasers except the sound waves wouldn't have a chance to bouce back.

For a massive hint, without memorizingkey strokes, he couldn't log on to this forum and personally tell us what he can't do... assuming he existed, yada yada

actually DD can do anything we can do, why? his "sight" is a swift combination of radar and sonar, i'd actually wager that he could "see" better than we can, so he might be able to watch TV but seeing into the acreen might be the tricky part. plus with all the clakity clak of a key board he would be able to "see" it clearly as well. and he has driven a car on panel b4
long pig
Can he drive? Yes. He can see better than us since all his other senses merged into one is basically a 4th dimension. He's counted scares on people's faces before.
Can he shoot? Easily.
Tell colors? Maybe, he could smell the ink and it'd tell him what color it is.

It can detect through walls. Of course it can. Can he detect through a wall? Yes. He would "SEE" the criminal before he ever saw him. 4th dimension thing

Of course he could say say it. Could he mean it though?

Yes he could mean it because that would be really, really, really painful.

That takes a loooong tongue

And Rock, how do YOU know DD doesn't have an amazing stretchy tongue...?

The biggest failing of his radar sense compared to actual sight is his inability to sense two-dimensional projections -- television, photographs, etc. His hyper-sensitive fingers can compensate for that, though, as he can read and understand printed type simply by running his hands across the imprint of the ink, and can "read" computer screens by the subtle temperature differences between lit and un-lit pixels.
Actually, to my limited knowledge of computers, all the pixels on a computer screen are lit. If I'm wrong about that, he'd only be able to tell if something on the screen is black.

Do colors have distinct smells? Red paint smells different than yellow paint? That's like saying he could hear the difference between a red ball falling and a blue one.

You know what else Daredevil can't do?
He can't SEE any reason why the Martian Manhunter series isn't cancelled yet...
Martian_mind
well he can't SEE much of anything can he?
plus he's jealous that each of Jonn's senses are better than his and that Jonn has 9 of them

He can see that his series is vastly superiour to MM's.

Considering Jonn's is a mini and i highly doubt he/your reading it i'd say it doesn't matter

Comics are inherently interpretive,so your personal opinion don't mean jack.
Mwahahahaha

Daredevil's senses are a bit of a plot device. I think it stems from some form of misguided emancipatory ideal that handicapped people should not be crippled by their weaknesses. So they make them do stuff they really, really couldn't. I mean, it's so much more impressive when a blind person tells you that he can hear a train coming from 300.000.000.000.000 miles away or that can he walk a tightrope on one foot.
It's kind of lame, though. It's okay to have a weakness, we shouldn't have to compensate for EVERYTHING we lack. Oh well.

Batman could feel the air pressure change as the bullet was fired.

Actually, Daredevil has driven a car.
And flown a plane, if I do recall correctly.

He CAN see. I don't think you understand that he can look at you and see every feature you have, just not in color. They have shown his perspective while looking at a woman and he could see her just fine, every detail even better than we see. The only thing was it was all different shades of the same color which has been depicted as red, green, black and even purple.
makbuns
Does the film show us accurately what he sees?
jrodslam
^ Yes and no. It cant go into every aspect and detail of his radar, but it wasnt too far behind.

On thing that Daredevil can't do is pick up a juggernaut truck and throw it to the moon
willRules
umm Daredevil#346 would disagree with that ^
