Daredevil

Story

He dwells in a world of eternal night - but the blackness is filled with sounds and scents, tastes and textures that most cannot perceive. Although attorney Matt Murdock is blind, his other four senses function with superhuman sharpness. By day, Murdock represents the downtrodden. At night he is Daredevil, a masked vigilante stalking the dark streets of the city, a relentless avenger of justice.

For Daredevil, justice is blind.
...and for the guilty (and often himself), there's hell to pay.

Based on the legendary Marvel Comics character created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett in 1964, DAREDEVIL stars Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock and Daredevil, the Man Without Fear. Also starring are Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios, Matt Murdock's girlfriend (when she's not trying to kill him) and a martial arts expert. The Daredevil-Elektra / Affleck-Garner dynamic makes the film the sexiest and most morally complex comic book movie ever.

Michael Clarke Duncan is Wilson Fisk, New York's Kingpin of Crime; and Colin Farrell as Bullseye, the assassin with perfect aim. Jon Favreau is Franklin `Foggy' Nelson, Matt Murdock's lifelong friend and law partner; Joe Pantoliano portrays New York Post investigative reporter Ben Urich; David Keith is Matt's father, Jack `The Devil' Murdock; and Scott Terra plays the young Matt Murdock.

Marvel Comics' Daredevil: The Man Without Fear made his first appearance in 1964 at the height of the comic universe's "silver age." This period also saw the origins of other Marvel stalwarts such as The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, The X-Men and Spider-Man. Since then, Daredevil has become one of the most popular comic book heroes of all time.

Daredevil was part of a world of characters created in an era like ours, fraught with tension and uncertainty. Marvel made its superheroes real people, with real problems the audience could relate to. Daredevil in particular has deeply human flaws, is literally handicapped, and is mortal.
