Will Daredevil Season 3 Follow the Comic Book Arc?

Will Daredevil Season 3 Follow the Comic Book Arc?

The central question for this episode of Comic Movie-10 is whether or not Daredevil writer Erik Oleson will be true to his word and deviate from the storyline of the comic book or will there be elements of the Miller/Mazzucchelli story arch? Joe and Dan make some observations based on the 1986 Daredevil Reborn Again comic book.

Daredevil Reborn Again Comic

They discuss the fact that the specifics leading up to what would be Reborn Again appeared at the end of Defenders. They describe the camera shot of Matt Murdock in bed, bandaged torso, and being nursed back to health, pointing out that it is the exact, classic panel from the Miller/Mazzucchelli comic Reborn Again. Other Frank Miller stories have used the exact panels from the comics. So, while this might tinker with the timeline its not all that strange. In fact, the appearance of the panel in Defenders might simply pay homage to the 1986 comic book.

Daredevil Season 2 Recap

Dan explains that the character of Karen Page is central to the development of the story. As has already occurred in Daredevil Season 2, she left Nelson and Murdock to pursue an acting career. Ending up in Mexico, she becomes heroine addicted and a porn-star. In order to obtain drug money she reveals that Matt Murdock is Daredevil. This information eventually finds its way to Kingpin, who proceeds to make life hell for Murdock.

Kingpin freezes his assets, and has him disbarred. Murdock becomes homeless, is beaten half to death and thrown in the East River. He makes his way to Hell’s Kitchen where he is nursed back to health by a nun who is none other than his mother. Dan and Joe appreciate the character of Karen Page as she lends a dark dimension to the show, of the pure character, corrupted by the events as they unfold.

Daredevil Season 3 Release Date

The reason Oleson gives for departing with the storyline of the comic book is so that he can give a greater development to the characters. Joe questions why it is not possible to do that while following the events as they occur in the comic book.

Returning to the show as Kingpin will be Vincent D’Onofrio, with a larger role. Daredevil Season 3 will be released October 19th, on Netflix.

Joe and Dan want to know what you think. Will Murdock’s mother be in the show? Will Oleson actually stick more closely to the comic book arc than he has claimed he would do? Leave your comments, questions, and opinions. As always, tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10!

Marvel Defenders vs DC Comics Arrowverse – Who Does Crossovers Better?

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers compare two different crossover events in the comic book world. They will be discussing Netflix’s take on Marvel with The Defenders, vs. The CW’s take on DC with The Arrowverse.

Although DC has typically had a reputation for being more dark and serious, while Marvel was always less so, Netflix and CW seem to have reversed this. It is easy to see that Netflix’s The Defenders is very dark and serious, while The CW’s Arrowverse is much more campy, and less serious. The brothers also explore how the different characters of each show come together to fight crime. They examine if the connections are realistic and if the relationships are complex enough to be believable. The Defenders centers around only four shows- Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, while the Arrowverse incorporates many, many more shows and characters, including Arrow, Flash, Vixen, Constantine and Supergirl.

Listen in to hear which crossover was more successful in Joe and Dan’s opinions. See if the brothers agree or disagree with each other, and weigh in on where you stand! After watching, let Joe and Dan know what you think. Leave your comments, questions, and opinions, and as always tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10.
