I’ve sat in many a discussion over this hypothetical superhero movie or that, getting into how Actor A would be GREAT for the role of Comic Character B, so on and so forth. I’ve developed the opinion that, when it comes to the main roles in a superhero movie, the most important thing is that the actor should be the precise blend of star recognition, facial resemblance and acting ability, that s/he be completely swallowed up by the character s/he portrays…This is where Daredevil fell short.

Simply put - Marvel and FOX Studios blew it big time by changing Daredevil’s suit way too much. The Zorro-styled mask? Fine, I can live with that - it lends to the swashbuckling, dark-rogue nature of the character. Putting the “DD” over the left breast as opposed to centered in the chest? Another stylistic choice that I can’t understand the point of, but whatever. The big thing to me was…putting a leather racing suit on a free-running vigilante who relies on stealth to carry out his obvious death-wish? Uhm, yeah - coulda thought that out more…

I don’t care how humble the guy is in life - and I’m pretty sure he is - but if I were David Hine, I’d be pretty damn proud of myself right now. I’d be about as proud of myself as I was when I came up with the 4-S theory on female sitcom characters, or the ultimate definition of irony. Ask me about them sometime, it’s kind of neat, if I do say so myself…
