Daredevil
Daredevil (alter ego Matthew Murdock) is a fictional superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett1 in Daredevil #1 (April 1964), he is notable as being among the few disabled superheroes.
Although Daredevil had been home to the work of many comic-book legends — Jack Kirby, Wallace Wood, John Romita Sr., and Gene Colan, among others — it was not until Frank Miller's entrance on the title in the late 1970s that Daredevil was regarded as either popular or influential. The introduction of drastic change, following Miller's example, become the title's hallmark: "This is the book where the audience is built into expecting something unique. Every run on Daredevil has been a unique statement from that person and a lot of chances were taken." (Brian Michael Bendis)
Daredevil (Film)
In February 2003, 20th Century Fox released Daredevil, a feature film starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell and Michael Clarke Duncan, and directed by Mark Steven Johnson. While opening strongly and eventually surpassing $100 million in ticket sales, poor word-of-mouth and negative reviews curtailed its momentum. A director's cut DVD was released in November 2004 with nearly 30 minutes of additional footage.
Garner reprised her Daredevil movie role in the solo sequel Elektra (2005), co-starring Goran Visnjic and directed by Rob Bowman.
