Like a lot of fans, DeKnight agrees that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner weren't the problem with the 2003 Daredevil movie, and also sheds some light on the tone and action/violence we should expect to see in the upcoming Netflix reboot.

Gritty?

A certain group of sheeples hate that word.

I know he's kidding about Wilbur Day, but I'd love to see Stilt-Man even if it's just a mention or a joke.

So excited for this, it has so much potential to be one of the best Superhero adaptations ever. Daredevil's seriously a tremendously underrated character on this site. Mark Steven Johnsons movie and Ben Affleck have sadly taintedDaredevil amongst casual comic fans and the general public.

I like the three words to describe Daredevil which are Gritty. Pain and Hope.

Affleck was actually one of the better parts of DD in my opinion … if the movie had any director other than Mark Steven Johnson it would have been way better

I am excited for the show but, I have no connection to the making of the show and I could have given you those answers.

Not Saying Affleck was the problem btw, just that his fame have sadly contributed to people's skepticism towards The Man Without Fear

Ben Affleck's acting was part of the reason that movie sucked. Plain and simple.

Bring it on, i have high expectations of what Marvel will give us after seeing Agent Carter, and the second season of AOS. I feel like a kid in a candy store. The MCU phase 2 heading in to full gear climax with AOU. To lead us straight to phase 3. The DCCU that will finally give us the JLA. + All the solo movies that are coming. Than we already getting treated with some awesome TV shows like Arrow, The Flash, AOS, Agent Carter, Gotham and Constantine. And than we haven't even started about the other upcoming TV projects that DC and Marvel will give us. Good times people, good times.

Did you not just see what the Producer for this upcoming Daredevil series said about Affleck's performance not being a part of the problem? Makes me wonder how much faith you have in this project then lol.
