Hmmm so how much should there be Matt Murdock the lawyer in Daredevil books? With Peter Parker and Clark Kent their non-superhero exploits often get relegated to a background footnote, not ALWAYS, but many times. You sometimes have stories where they're seemingly doing super-stuff for a week or longer and the writer just... forgets about the civilian identity.

I think it should be around 30 % regular life/ 70 superhero. I really hate when the life of superheroes gets brushed off like it's non-existent at all and they don't have other stuff to do other than fighting criminals. Writers probably can't write usual life very well that's why they just... don't. Love life? Friends? Getting coffee? Naaaah. Who wants that. The only exclusion is when the plot demands it- THEN writers remember they have job or very useful friends to contact.

Also superheroes don't sleep. At all. Because they fight crime at night and go to college/work at day. And after few months they would have killed people themselves because they were so mad at the world and got hallucinations from the lack of sleep.

I mean Peter and Clark can stay awake for days and weeks respectively because of their powers.

I always felt human characters should have that problem.Like Batman is said to need 2 hours, kinda cheap but still show us how he gets that sleep, how he finds the time and how when they don't it costs them.Same with Human injuries, like with Nightwing getting beaten because he was reckless in recent issues.

Human characters should have these repurcusions.

I think it's an important part of the character. One of my bigger disappointments with both Soule and Zdarsky is they set up a new status quo for Matt Murdock and didn't spend that much time with that side of things.

One thing I remember about why Daredevil made so much sense to have vs Kingpin was the way Matt Murdock the lawyer was an important part of opposing the Kingpin, and not just vigilante justice.

Which run do you think did this the best?

Right, we should have seen more Prosecutor Matt. Interestingly, despite being a lawyer, I thought Soule somewhat struggled with lawyer stories. For example, while I overall liked the "Supreme" arc, I thought's Matt's closing argument in front of the Supreme Court was extremely weak. It's hard for me to believe that SCOTUS would rule in favor of Matt based on an appeal to emotion instead of citing case law like Mr. Legal did.

This issue is an improvement, I think. DD is acting heroic and take-charge, and there are lots of things happening at once, most of them interesting. I like the compressed storytelling.
