Daredevil TV Show: 10 Things It Can Finally Get Right

10. The Costume

Affleck€™s red leather costume adhered to the comics in style, but it was laughably bad on screen. He looked like he was preparing for some bizarre S&M party, not about to fight crime when he suited up. The promotional images released by Marvel show a completely different costume to the one that viewers will recognise. The black costume, which covers everything except Matt Murdock€™s mouth, looks homemade and designed for functionality, not flamboyancy. This isn€™t a laughable costume, it looks like a vigilante€™s outfit which will enable him to hide away in the darkness when necessary, much like Batman€™s dark wardrobe allows him to do. It looks slightly ninja inspired, which perhaps gives a hint as to how the lawyer honed his acrobatic skill and fighting techniques. The 2003 costume featured stubby little horns, a gimmick which in the comic book panels helped to inspire fear in his enemies, but in the film it looked like a cheap Halloween costume; this cinematic tragedy looks set to be rectified by the upcoming TV series €“ something which should make the show better for both fans of the comic and casual viewers.
