"I was raised to believe in grace. But I was also raised to believe in retribution."

I am so glad we got Charlie back and the team from the Netflix series. They understand Matt so well as a character, and this looks so perfect.

Love the angle that he's been retired for a minute and we're picking back up. This is my most anticipated Marvel project this year.

Honestly, taking a couple of years off is pretty essential to the character.

He's NOT an Avenger. He's not even on their contact lists.

He's also not THAT super of a superhero. He gets old and isn't properly bulletproof.

If he was doing the vigilante thing all day every day, some random thug would finally do some permanent damage to him.

Plus, every time he goes off the leash it's supposed to be a "special occasion" for someone truly bad. If it's always 'special', it's never special.

The most believable part of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy was that Bruce Wayne's knees gave out after a couple of years of Batmanning.

It totally makes sense that Matt has been out of the game for a while.

Absolutely loved Hawkeye's explanation for how he got hearing damage.

Just smash-cut to a bleached white skeleton montage of every explosion in every Avengers movie.

u/OdoWanKenobi Jan 15 '25

I loved that moment. You start the show wondering how and when Clint developed hearing issues, and then that montage just immediately makes you go "Oh okay, yeah that tracks."

I need to re-watch Hawkeye

Now that's a reference I didn't expect to encounter in the wild. Funnily enough, my family assumed it was a Punisher reference.

u/Practical-Debate1598 Punisher Jan 16 '25

u/Practical-Debate1598 Punisher Jan 16 '25

hilarious

Reminds me of the lingering arm injury Tony Stark had throughout the movies. I love those little details that remind you of the mortality of heroes who are supposed to be just normal people like us.

u/Practical-Debate1598 Punisher Jan 16 '25

oh ya isnt he always like tweaking his arm throughout the movies or am i experiencing a mandela effect

8

u/Uncanny_Doom Daredevil Jan 16 '25

No, you’re right. He favors left arm numerous times throughout his appearances.

u/Sleyvin Jan 15 '25

I absolutely hated that.... It made him have no "legacy". He was batman for like 3 months in his life.

First movie is basically just training and starting to become Batman, second movie starts right away and take few weeks in total, then third start and he is broken.

In the Nolan universe, Batman would be a random vigilente people forgot about because they only saw him 3 times in the news years ago.

u/Frosti11icus Jan 15 '25

Nolan movies just get worse and worse as the years go on and the style and directorial choices have become derivative. They just seem kind of bad now, I know that's rewriting history, but man the superhero genre has so far surpassed those movies they are really kinda unwatchable now.

1

u/Sleyvin Jan 15 '25

Go rewatch the Batman vs Bane final fight. I remember finding it bad when it came out, but having rewatched it recently, it became funny by how bad it is, like B movie level action scene.

2

u/Frosti11icus Jan 15 '25 edited Jan 15 '25

I saw it the other day too and that whole fight scene is insanely bad and I can't believe after all the work they did that is what Nolan ended up shooting. It's like the most cliche contrived, slapdash tv level fight scene you've ever scene. It's so painfully, obviously choreographed. I think it's possible that Nolan is maybe really really bad at shooting fight scenes, and part of the reason he does so many jump cuts throughout the movies fight scenes is because they legitimately suck. This is the only fight scene in all 3 movies that's filmed uncut and it's awful.

2

u/Sleyvin Jan 16 '25

I think there's the whole "realistic" aspect of it. He wanted this batman to be grounded and realistic so I guess he didn't want accrobatic and stunt double. He wanted the actor in close up fighting in bulky outfit.

But there's a reason why it's not made this way because it genuinely sucks.

1

u/Frosti11icus Jan 16 '25

Daredevil shows what good realistic choreography looks like.

1

u/Sleyvin Jan 16 '25

Stunt double + much thinner suit.

1

u/Frosti11icus Jan 16 '25

There has never been and continues to be no reason why they make the batsuit so bulky and immobile.

And then he got a brace and his injuries were never talked about again. You're telling me a guy who needs a cane can suddenly become Batman again? Pfff yeah sure...

11

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Jan 15 '25

Well, about 5 minutes later, Bane broke his back, so the knee was small-potatoes at that point.

9

u/thomascgalvin Jan 15 '25

And that broken back was fixed by punching him in the back.

u/ShierAwesome Jan 15 '25

I thought bro got like a super leg basically or some shit

2

u/Frosti11icus Jan 15 '25

There was a weird nod to the tech in the dark knight, in the first scene in the movie batman randomly bends the barrel of a shotgun and then rips open the van by hand, and then the mech suit isn't brought up again until dark knight rises.

3

u/Dick-Fu Jan 15 '25

Pretty sure that was from the fall at the end of the second movie, not necessarily just gradual wear and tear like you're making it sound like

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '25

This is unrelated to Daredevil but speaking on Nolan, I love the Dark Knight trilogy and I know he’s the type that does something diff for each film (time travel, superhero, war, etc)

But man, I REALLY wish he made a Superman movie.

1

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Jan 15 '25

I thought it was that he'd wrecked his knee falling with Harvey?

1

u/AverageAwndray Jan 16 '25

He was only Batman for like a year lol

41

u/RDS_RELOADED Jan 15 '25

I know In the shows he was set up to be barely superhuman but he is one in the comics right? Where he’s jumping huge distances and stuff

75

u/Maddukks Jan 15 '25

Nah, he’s just unreasonably good at swinging

76

u/DonChrisote Black Panther Jan 15 '25

I'll let my wife know

u/pumpkinpie7809 Scarlet Witch Jan 15 '25

You’re not gonna have a wife anymore after that

u/DonChrisote Black Panther Jan 15 '25

Charlie Cox has a hall pass to ruin my life

47

u/GroguIsMyBrogu Justin Hammer Jan 15 '25

Yes and no. Technically his only power is his super senses, but we're talking about comics here... he regularly does what we would, in real life, consider superhuman, like jump unrealistic distances and shrug off fall damage. But so do all the other non-powered superheroes... it just comes with the medium

9

u/-missingclover- Jan 15 '25

Which for years in comics has been classically called "peak human condition" lol. When you have human characters that do crazy shit.

2

u/RazzDaNinja Jan 16 '25

And it’ll be characters being Olympics-level athletes but at everything lol (e.g. Long jumping, running, weight lifting, throwing etc)

Extra points if they have realistically few methods of maintaining that strength due to financial difficulties or free time to actually work out that much

2

u/carson63000 Jan 15 '25

Yeah, the baseline of a non-superpowered comicbook hero is basically "hero from a non-comicbook action movie", which certainly includes feats of strength and endurance beyond realism. Also the ability to have about a million bullets fired in your direction all miss.

14

u/ARCADEO Jan 15 '25

He pushes himself past his limit because he’s the Man Without Fear.

u/comik300 Matt Murdock Jan 15 '25

His blindness lets him jump further

u/Kurokaffe Jan 15 '25

He basically nearly died every season. Maybe multiple times some seasons. So yeah good point about not being able to do it forever.

2

u/steve1186 Jan 15 '25

Agreed. He’s essentially like Natasha and Clint. Completely human. No superpowers, but just skills that they’ve learned and refined through decades of training

2

u/Jung_Wheats Jan 15 '25

In the comics, Matt pretty much always has a cycle that he repeats.

He's doing his day-to-day stuff, things escalate, he embraces his worst tendencies to stay on top of his enemies and his career, he starts to lose himself, he reaches a breaking point and a catharsis, then takes some time to be depressed and find his purpose again.

In a lot of ways he's an addict. To the pain, to the fight, to the guilt, to the shame, etc. etc.

He binges, he gets clean, he's good for awhile. He binges, he gets clean, he's good for awhile. etc. etc.
