Despite not being an especially fan-favourite arc, it looks like the 2010 crossover event Shadowland is going to be a big part of Marvel's plans going forward. In the comics, Daredevil is seen in recent teaser images to be wearing a black costume not unlike the one he chose when he proclaimed himself ninja ruler of Hell's Kitchen. Backing up just a fraction, Shadowland was a series which saw a load of Marvel's street-level characters being drawn into a conflict against a Matt Murdock who's gone a bit funny after a trip to Japan which itself followed a series of unfortunate events which saw his secret identity revealed to the world, a trip to prison and a nervous breakdown. Amongst those street-level characters is The Punisher, who gets into it with Daredevil in a major way (not being particularly friendly with Matt means he doesn't hold back the way, say, Spider-Man does). The smart money is on Shadowland forming the backbone of the upcoming Netflix Defenders crossover series, but elements could be used in Daredevil.
