Daredevil (2015) Ep. 1: Into The Ring

“An Auspicious Beginning For Marvel’s Un-Caped Crusader.” When I was growing up, comics not only taught me how to read, but they inspired me to action; I remember vividly running about New York City, trekking through Central Park like Cortez or exploring abandoned buildings with my not-so-super friends. And I would read–though perhaps devour is a […]

Netflix’s Daredevil Reviews Are Coming In…

..and the first I have read is from SuperHeroHype–and it’s pretty positive (effusively so, truth be told). In fact, I suspect that it’s perhaps too rosy seeing that it appears that the reviewer has only seen the first of a 13-episode series. Enthusiasm aside–after all, the site isn’t called SuperHeroHype for nothing–it’s a good sign that the opener […]

Daredevil Transformation Trailer/Motion Poster

This is sort of neat.  It’s a motion poster based upon Netflix’s upcoming 13-issue series Daredevil, where we see Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) turn into Daredevil. I should also mention that it’s not the red suit–they’re keeping that under wraps, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. I also want to say that I am not going […]

Daredevil Premiere Date

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daredevil (the first entry of Netflix’s launch of Marvel superheroes, soon to be followed by A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, culminating in The Defenders) will premiere April 10. And as typically the case with series that appear on Netflix, the entire first season will probably air in its entirety. And […]

Steven DeKnight On ‘Daredevil’

I found this interview with Steven DeKnight, the showrunner for Netfilix’s upcoming series based on Marvel’s Daredevil, on Superherohype.  He actually give very little away, but does say that the series takes place in the 1970’s and that Vincent D’Onofrio is a really scary Kingpin. He also mentions that things are going really well, though I suspect […]

Netflix Is Raising Prices….

And I am OK with that because their service is  so reasonably priced in the first place.  It normally costs $7.99 and is going up a dollar, though the increase applies only to new users, while current users are ‘grandfathered’ in at the current rate for two more years. Sounds good to me, and not only because […]

The Marvel Televised Universe Is Born!

Marvel Studios has done it again.  With movies they were the first to create a united universe of characters that began with Iron Man, and continued with “The Incredible Hulk,” “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Thor,” culminating with the blockbuster, “The Avengers.” Now they’re bringing the same approach of a unified universe to Netflix, […]

Could Wolverine Ever Enter The Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Possibly, though under some certain very specific conditions.  Marvel Studios has regained the rights to use characters like Blade, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and The Punisher, though Fox owns not only the rights to use the X-Men in features (which Wolverine is a member) but also the term “mutants” – describing enhanced human beings – as well. And […]
