DAREDEVIL Begins?

Matt here€ Unsurprisingly 20th Century Fox and Marvel are mulling over a revival of Daredevil, the character that they thought would easily join the high ranks of Spider-Man and X-Men as a third big "comic book to film money maker" back in 2003 but when they hired the wrong director (Mark Steven Johnson), it barely crossed the $100 million mark domestically (it was made for $78 million) and was more disliked than loved. Though I will forever contend that Johnson's director's cut makes for at least an interesting watch. I would say he got more of the character right than wrong, and it wasn't so terrible like Ang Lee's Hulk or his own later mis-fire of Ghost Rider that a reboot is needed. I still think the way to go is to put Ben Affleck back in the suit (as he made a good Matt Murdock, and he is older and wiser a performer now) and give Kevin Smith the reigns on it. I know those guys could save this franchise. It doesn't have to be a reboot, just make a sequel that stands-alone. Talk of a Daredevil revamp has been on the agenda recently after the sometimes insane Frank Miller suggested he would love to have a crack at the character with Jason Statham starring. A hardcore, balls to the wall and extremely dark Daredevil is what he promised. Though after seeing the trailers for The Spirit - one wonders if he should ever be given the reigns to a comic book property ever again. So just to be clear. We know nothing more than Fox are looking to "revive" the character. Reboot, or sequel to the 2003 film, that could mean either. In fact, they may not even have a plan yet. IF they are smart, they would let Marvel use the character in the new Universe they are creating... it would certainly be a nice addition to The Avengers and would give the character more exposure down the line. Discuss: Daredevil, too good of a character to be left on the shelf? Would you like to see a reboot, or is their still life left in the character that Ben Affleck created? Frank Miller/Kevin Smith - who do you trust with this?
