From Entertainment Weekly -
The ‘devil will eventually get his iconic red costume, but first he’ll wear the black duds seen here, inspired by Frank Miller’s graphic novel Daredevil: Man Without Fear.
Forget Ben Affleck. Netflix’s Daredevil is “the exact opposite” of Affleck’s much-maligned 2003 bomb, promises showrunner Steven S. DeKnight. Expect the classic origin story to remain unchanged: Blinded as a child, Matt Murdock (Charlie ) is a lawyer by day who hunts criminals by night. But this upcoming iteration of Daredevil is more influenced by 1970s mean-street films like The French Connection and Taxi Driver than traditional superhero titles.
“There aren’t going to be people flying through the sky; there are no magic hammers,” says Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb. “We’ve always approached this as a crime drama first, superhero show second.” There’s also more grown-up content here. “It’s a little grittier and edgier than Marvel has gone before,” says DeKnight, best known for the ultra-hardcore Starz series Spartacus, who adds, “but we’re not looking to push it to extreme violence or gratuitous nudity.”
