NYCC: First Official Look At Charlie Cox in "Marvel's Daredevil"

**Captain Haddock** · 10-12-2014, 05:13 AM

The outfit is MEANT to look a bit tacky/rubbish, it's pretty much what happens when a blind man grabs a bunch of clothes. I know all the super sense stuff but he's not got the whole Daredevil persona down yet if they are following the Man Without Fear plotline closely, he's just another vigilante wearing black and with his face obscured. When's he becomes Daredevil, he'll look like Daredevil.

Also, anyone else really, really psyched for the new Kingpin? Sounds like he could be amazing. It's about time Loki was joined by another good villain in the Live Action Marvel realm.

As a DD comics completist, I was thrilled to see these new photos and to see the character lineup. JRJR was at his best when he did the TMWF i.e. the origin with Miller. One of my favourites, and I'm also a big fan of the original run by Lee, Wood, Everett and Colan as well as being someone who was brought up on Miller's DD.

It would seem that they are paying homage to every DD "era" what with having Karen Page, Owlsley, Stick, Urich, Fisk...Just wondering how Claire Temple is supposed to have a major impact on DD. Maybe somehow linking him up with Cage and Rand? Also I wonder if and when Elektra will be introduced?

I'm looking forward to having this series sitting on my shelf as dvds.

I think Karen is gonna be the love interest for now, and Elektra might be introduced in a later season.

The costume looks real nice. Straight out of the books. Of course it will be temporary.

Arghhhhhhh! I had such high hopes for the costume and now they've been destroyed! I wish the costume was more in line with the comic costume. It doesn't have to be the exact one, but it should have some elements of it. Gimme some horns, at least! That being said, I think Cox looks great as Matt. My greatest wish for the show is that the stories are great, above all. As long as we have great stories, he can wear that horrible outfit, if he must...

Seriously.....it's right there in the article. This is his FIRST costume, which is pulled directly from Daredevil's modern and most popular origin. It is NOT his final Daredevil costume.

I REALLY hope that isn't the case and has the classic red suit for at least half of the 13 episodes.

OMG the reactions.....
It is exactly like in the comics.

And it's his pre-costume.

"It his first costume. I was there, I watched the clips, it's acknowledged as a prototype:

CLARE: Your costume sucks.
MATT: It's a work in progress." from Keyser Soze

Looking at it drawn, isn't too bad, but truthfully, John Romita Junior has always been one of my favourite artists, comic wise. Only gets better every time his career goes on.

But, looking at pictures, I somehow prefer the way the costume looks in The Trial Of The Incredible Hulk, compared to here, but time will tell.

**Mjhych1** · 10-12-2014, 01:15 PM

Am I the only one that read the article and it stated this was Murdock's first costume based on Miller and Romita's origin story. It like in Batman Begins when Bruce wore a skull mask. Calm down. If you were crying because it wasn't yellow, I'd probably give you a pass or if they said it was the final costume but it's not so chill out and read the article....please!

**SpiderByte** · 10-12-2014, 03:14 PM

People have conveniently ignored that. Even though Marvel literally posted a picture of the 'Man Without Fear' suit IN THE OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE AS REFERENCE.

Also, the skintight spandexy nature of the outfit gives a good bet that the final costume will stick pretty close, since it'll probably be this, in red, with a proper cowl with horns.

**Arfguy** · 10-12-2014, 03:19 PM

I just hope the show is good. Man Without Fear is one of my favourite comics. Miller did an amazing job with Born Again and Bendis and Maleev cemented DD as one of Marvel's best characters. The stuff that followed with Brubaker and Lark was just as impressive.

DD the character deserves a great live-action adaptation. I hope the Netflix series is it, but I dread another Agents of SHIELD.

**Fuzzy Barbarian** · 10-14-2014, 01:10 AM

Omg... The ninja costume... CALLED IT! I've always liked its simplicity, so I'm cool with his fully-realised costume being similar to it. Still hyped for this show

**deadbass36** · 10-14-2014, 05:04 AM

All I can say is...

I like the red shades

Take a chill pill everyone. This is supposed to resemble a costume that a brand new super hero just threw together. This doesn't mean we won't get the red suit.

You know most fans on the internet refuse to read. They see a picture and then start banging on their keyboards like ferrets on crank.
I mean, it's clearly based on Miller's and JRJR's Man of Fear comic, but it far better to type, 'don't want' in several different ways rather than actually reading.
I mean, it was in the second paragraph..

"The first photo reveals the "Boardwalk Empire" alum in full costume -- called by Marvel his "first costume" -- which the company notes was inspired by the version seen in "Daredevil: The Man Without Fear," by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. The other image depicts the actor as Matt Murdock."

But, damn, that is way too much reading!
