Yeah, that seemed like the logical thing to do. Elektra is complex character who has very important and intricate ties with Daredevil. Why the hell would you want to introduce that into an origin story about Daredevil? Seriously, they did it only because they needed a romantic element and it set the entire film off kilter. Daredevil was a good movie up until Elektra showed up. I'm not saying Elektra is a shitty character or was portrayed by a bad actress it was just to much. That would have been a great sequel that could have introduced new key characters and even carried over into a third movie.

I think after her own movie, Elektra's role should be left to exposition. Flashbacks and mystical conversations with Matt and like Miller intended, she should stay dead.

Yup. Dye Krycek's hair blond or shave it. There's your Bullseye. He's really good at playing assholes after all although he may be a really good choice for Purple Man as well.

I really liked Colin Farrell as Bullseye, but if they're starting over, Nicholas Lea is as good a candidate as any. I'm more interested in who plays DD.

Bullseye ain't Irish, he's more than likely from either NYC or Texas (or both).
I just want good actors which is why Damon as DD and Nic Lea as Bulls work for me. Jason Statham was definitely an error in judgment on my part.

It said that in Greatest Hits which turned out to largely be a fabrication though parts are true. The only completely reliable origin stuff for him comes from Elektra #2 where he is shown living in a trailer park and faking his dad's (probably stepdad's) suicide and Daredevil #49. If we're gonna integrate the two, I'm gonna say he was born and grew up in the Bronx and then got shuffled to a trailer park in Texas. The evidence for this (other than trailer park stereotypes) is the fact that the baseball team he played for is clearly based on the Astros.

I haven't seen him in anything since 2002 but watching the DVD's, he's got the bastard attitude down, he's got a menacing enough voice, and other than his hair color, which can be dyed, he looks like Bullseye.

I've always thought that Eric Stoltz should have played Daredevil. Statham would be an excellent Bullseye, and Affleck should stick to his feelings about never putting on another costume again.
Watching commentary, Nick Lea would be a good Bullseye (apart from the acting) because he enjoys playing rolls where he gets to be beaten up and thrown around and if anyone's seen the X-Files, he does that a lot. All while having to wear a prosthetic arm.

Nick Lea doesn't have an accent (maybe a small hint of Canadian) and once again, Lester's not Irish. All he did on the X-Files for 7 years was act well, do insane stunts, use and betray people, act like a total sadist, shoot guns, fight people, and do his own stunts to the point where he could get pretty bloody and bruised. You'd need a bit of CG and stunt doubles for acrobatics but I think he could pull it off.
