This looks great. The atmosphere is perfect for Daredevil. I cant wait for him to clash with Kingpin and Bullseye! Hopefully we'll even get Punisher to pop up at some point. Also, hopefully he dons the red costume by the end of the season. This show IS part of the MCU btw.

With the current deal in place giving the MCU access to Spider-Man it also opens the entire MCU up to Sony for their movies. What I am getting at is if Daredevil does good there may be a chance for a Spider-Man Daredevil team up!

^ Yep and Kingpin can be a Spider-Man villain line he was so often in the comics.

I never understood why he went with the Daredevil rights in the first place. He first showed up in Spiderman, and has appeared regularly since.

Looking forward to this

It might have been a case of Kingpin being an associated character of both Daredevil and Spider-Man. Kind of like how both Marvel and Fox can use QS and SW, because they were both considered essential parts of the X-Men and Avengers Universe.

But perhaps Sony just decided to never use him. I have to admit I would hate it if the movie version got into a fist fight with Kingpin and struggled. That always annoyed me in the Comics, Games and Cartoons.

Awesome new trailer. I'm hoping this show forces all other live action shows to step it up like Spiderman 2 and TDK did for super hero movies. Also, the first episode has already leaked apparently. People seem to be pretty amazed. Especially by the finale. I haven't gotten around to watching it yet, but it comes out soon enough so I think I'll wait.

Quite excited for this. Both trailers look really good, and I liked the little nod to Thor and Ironman at the end of the 2nd one.

Am I the only one who thinks that Kingpin is a bad villain? He's just a crime lord. JUST a crime lord, there is nothing special or unique about him.

At least Bullseye has something going for him as a villain.

He's not just a crime lord. He's THE crime lord. He's enough of a physical threat to fight people like Spiderman and Dardevil on even ground, and has enough backing to be feared by legitimate super powered beings. He has henchmen like Electra, Electro, Rhino, Sandman, (etc...). He's the untouchable crime lord with a super powered army and the entire NYC underworld and police department in his pocket.

Kingpin is an awesome villain.

Its his resources and intelligence that make him such a good villain. Hes no Lex Luther but he is clever and he manages to pull his resources in ways that allow him to hire people like Bullseye.

You don't read much Daredevil, do you?

It sounds like you basically have no idea who Kingpin is.

I haven't read much DareDevil, but I've seen the movie, and the episode of Spiderman with Kingpin.

But, then again, you need to be near-Joker level or have superhuman powers to be a good villain.

Did you not see KP kicking DD's ass in the movie? There were a lot of episodes of Kingpin in Spiderman, he's usually shown as a threat, so I still don't know why you're downplaying him.

I don't know what you mean by Joker level.
