Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Based on the comic series of the same name, Daredevil is a 2003 film about the story of Matt Murdock, lawyer and Catholic by day, vigilante hero by night. Young Matt is blinded by chemicals in a freak accident after seeing his father participating in a beatdown working for the mob. But soon, he and his father work together to better their lives, as Jack Murdock (David Keith) leaves his mob past and resurrects his boxing career while Matt learns how to live life blind, even as he copes with his other senses becoming incredibly heightened. However, his father is murdered as a result of a hit at the hands of mob hitman named Wilson Fisk, who will eventually rise to become a powerful crime lord...As an adult in the corrupt, crime-ridden New York neighborhood known as Hell's Kitchen, Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) works as a pro bono attorney to help those in need — and when he cannot find it in court, he finds other forms of justice as the costumed avenger known as Daredevil. He becomes mixed up with the beautiful Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner), whose father is a wealthy businessman who runs afoul of the city's Kingpin of crime. Things get messy when the Kingpin brings in his hired assassin, Bullseye (Colin Farrell, accent in full gear) — all accompanied with a lot of Evanescence and Seether on the soundtrack.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In part due to the character being more physically normal than other heroes, the movie aims to deconstruct the hyperactive fight scenes in films such as Spider-Man by showing how physically taxing a vigilante's life would be — Matt is covered in scars and regularly takes pain killers, and his superpowers never turn off. This film has a director's cut that features alternate versions of familiar scenes, and a restored subplot about Matt tracking down a chain of evidence to the Kingpin, resulting in a more proactive hero than originally shown.The movie received a bit of a spin-off in the Elektra movie, carrying on from the film but not featuring Daredevil.While Fox expressed plans for a sequel, the film rights for the property reverted back to Marvel in September 2012. A new Netflix series, which doubles as a Continuity Reboot, was released in April 2015 for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ben Affleck would move on to play a different superhero - Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Previews: Trailer, Super Bowl Commercial

Darker and Edgier
 Daredevil / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: In the comics, Daredevil became this trope compared to a lot of other superheroes, especially under Frank Miller's tenure. In terms of movies, the Daredevil movie was certainly a Darker and Edgier take on superheroism compared to the previous year's Spider-Man. Reality Ensues a lot in terms of the injuries sustained by Matt and Elektra, and Daredevil's struggle against the entrenched power of the Kingpin is definitely very gritty and monumentally difficult. Taken even further, even in a meta sense with the R-rated Director's Cut compared to the PG-13 Theatrical Cut. Even though the Director's Cut doesn't include the Matt/Elektra sex scene. Figure that one out.

 Daredevil / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Bullseye and Elektra's fight was cut down due to violence towards women. When the film was released, many a forums suggested Bullseye's actions towards Elektra, constant smiling, enjoying the physical harm he causes and attempting to kiss her while holding her too close for her comfort, all make it seem like he wants to rape her.

The Sociopath
 Daredevil / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Both our villains. Wilson Fisk firmly believes nobody is innocent, and is willing to kill even an old friend and his daughter for wanting out. When asked why he does such things, he simply responds that it's just business. Given how he can interact with people very easily, he appears to be a high-functioning sociopath. Bullseye can't go one scene without killing someone. He murders an old woman just for being annoying and afterwards casually flirts with the flight attendant while asking for more peanuts. Add to that, he takes pleasure from hurting people, and looking blissful while assaulting Elektra. Her blind rage and pain actually delights him and he's annoyed when she glares at him for kissing her. He comes off as a low-functioning sociopath.

Death by Origin Story
 Daredevil / int_1aa76d29
comment
Death by Origin Story: A notable subversion with the film's depiction of Matt's father, Jack Murdock. Not only does Jack survive long past the accident that gives Matt his powers, the incident actually brings the two of them closer together, with Matt's struggle to cope with his blindness inspiring Jack to be a better father, reignite his failing boxing career and quit drinking. It's only after we've gotten a chance to know Jack that he's killed for refusing to throw a fight, with his murder inspiring Matt to use his powers to fight crime.

The Cameo: Kevin Smith makes a quick appearance as the man at the morgue; he wrote a Daredevil story arc in the comics. A young and blind Matt Murdock prevents Stan Lee from getting hit by a car. Frank Miller, who redefined the Daredevil character and whose run the movie took its inspiration from, appears as a guy killed by Bullseye with a pencil in his head.

Reality Ensues
 Daredevil / int_1d9a2764
comment
Reality Ensues: Much of the beginning of the film delves into how a superhero would probably live in real life; Matt has scars all over his body, is on pain medication, his sense-enhancing powers make sleeping difficult, and he has a shambled ruin of a personal life. Special mention is made in the commentary and Matt is a man "who really doesn't have long to live" if his vigilante activities keep up they way they do. The trope also comes into play in horrifying detail with Elektra. Her father dies and she goes into vengeance mode, training like a maniac for her big chance to get revenge. Then, on her first night out she tries to pick a fight with Bullseye and gets stabbed in the hand, injured in the neck, stabbed to death gruesomely, and then tossed off the roof like nothing. Yikes.

Mythology Gag
 Daredevil / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The rapist Daredevil deals with at the start of the movie is named Jose Quesada. Most any time a name is being dropped in this movie that isn't a comic character, it's the name of a creator who worked on Daredevil. For example, the pathologist played by Kevin Smith is named Kirby. Stan Lee's cameo has him be saved from getting hit by a car by young (blind) Matt. In the comics, Matt's blindness was the result of saving a blind old man from being run over by the truck carrying the chemicals.

Bilingual Bonus: Elektra, her father and their bodyguards speak in Greek among themselves at some points. Example: when they are leaving the party, she demands to know what is happening while the head bodyguard tells the others to be on the lookout for Fisk. Elektra's "Greek" accent is passable; her father's, not so much.

Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: Bullseye finds his entertainment in the suffering of others. He laughs when he quips about killing one of Fisk's security guards. When he throws Elektra's sai back at her and it goes through her hand and she suffers for it, he laughs as though he made a humorous mistake. When Elektra is still trying to avoid being kissed by him while being gutted, he gives an amused grin before kissing her.

Death as Comedy: Bullseye kills a old lady on a flight simply for talking his ear off. This would be such a dick move if the manner he did it (ricocheting a peanut off the back of the seat in front of him into the woman's throat, posing her as asleep, then politely asking the flight attendant for more peanuts) wasn't so darn funny. Then again, Bullseye seems to think every death he causes is this trope.

Hollywood Law: The only scene of Matt actually acting as a lawyer that made it to the theatrical cut is of him seemingly seeking a conviction for a rape suspect. The catch? Matt Murdock is a defense attorney, a fact emphasized by the voluminous material that was restored in the director's cut. In real life, you may see a victim's advocate making submissions at sentencing in many jurisdictions, there's no way in hell that Matt would have been making arguments in court and getting annoyed that the defendant was acquitted. He could have been suing the guy in civil court for the rape, but even in that case he still wouldn't be on the defense side of things.

Adapted Out: In the comics, Ben Urich, who is a supporting character in the Spider-Man books as well as Daredevil is a reporter for the Daily Bugle, is working for a different paper since the former film rights were owned by Sony. Stick played no part in Matt's childhood, instead relied on self-training. Stick became Elektra's teacher instead.

Hell-Bent for Leather
 Daredevil / int_3bbecc8b
comment
Hell-Bent for Leather: Dardevil's costume is crimson leather instead of the spandex seen in the comics, largely because Daredevil (Enhanced senses aside) is merely a Badass Normal & he would need the extra protection that spandex wouldn't provide. Bullseye's wardrobe is predominantly black leather. Elektra, when she sets out to avenge her father, wears a leather top & pants, as opposed to the bright red leotard seen in the comics.

Living Lie Detector
 Daredevil / int_3bebfcc0
comment
Living Lie Detector: Matt Murdock listens to the heartbeat of people to deduce if a person is lying or not in his cases. In the director's cut, he takes on a client despite every sign pointing to him as the correct suspect, but his heartbeat confirms he's telling the truth about his innocence. Likewise, the person setting him up almost foils Murdock's method because he too has a steady heartbeat while telling his side in court...until Matt realizes he's on a pacemaker. Which is a Continuity Nod to a Frank Miller story where Matt was duped into believing his client was innocent because he had a pacemaker.

Blessed With Suck: Matt Murdock's hearing is so potent, he can hear everything in at least a block radius, which forces him to sleep in a sensory deprivation tank simply to blot out the noise. It also makes extremely loud noises and areas with lots of noise sources a Kryptonite Factor, and it results in him getting overloaded enough to get hit when he shouldn't have on multiple occasions, as well as forcing him to sometimes hit targets hard enough to temporarily cripple them just so that they don't escape him in the chaos.

comment
Adaptational Heroism: In the comics, Elektra was an assassin for hire with a past romance with Matt Murdock that landed them the Dating Catwoman status, as well as working for the Kingpin and Bullseye's top rival. This film's interpretation instead has her motivations for fighting Daredevil and her death by Bullseye in a more sympathetic light, she only opposes Daredevil due to a misunderstanding. While she is an assassin in her spin-off film, she's still portrayed as this. Same with her father. In the comics, Hugo Natchios (see Adaptation Name Change) was an abusive husband and father, implied that he molested Elektra as a little girl. While not much is seen of him in this film, it's implied Nikolas Natchios does care for his daughter, if a bit overprotective, having made her study with a different sensei since childhood to avoid making her a victim.

Heroic Fatigue: We see the hero going through his before-bed routine, getting everything put away in just the right place, climbing into the sound-proof casket (necessary due to his super hearing), only for him to hear a woman somewhere nearby crying for help. He only lets out an exhausted sigh before slowly closing the casket to close out the sound. That brief sequence is only in the director's cut; see Executive Meddling in the Trivia tab.

 Daredevil / int_83ab1b39
comment
The Tragic Rose: The Kingpin's calling card for his victims. He left a rose when he committed a murder for Fallon, he gives Nikolas Natchios a rose, but he seems aware of what he's planning and leaves but is murdered by Bullseye and gives Bullseye a rose to give to Elektra, though not for romantic reasons. After he defeats Elektra, Bullseye tosses the rose to her.

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil
 Daredevil / int_8a817c2a
comment
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Although Daredevil has no qualms dispatching of criminals rather than sending them to the big house, the only criminal he actually leaves dead is, you guessed it, a rapist. Subverted. Quesada was just unfortunate enough to be the last bad guy Matt came across before deciding Thou Shall Not Kill; that he was a rapist was less important than he was an utter bastard. Matt actually tries to kill Bullseye later as well, but its later revealed that he survived. Also, it seemed an act of desperation: he was able to trash an entire bar-full of goons, but had to hit Quesada so hard he can't walk away because his senses were overwhelmed by the incoming subway train.

Faux Affably Evil: Both of the villains. Wilson Fisk acts like a respectful person when in public. When speaking with Elektra's father before Bullseye comes to kill him, he speaks to him in a rather friendly tone. Natchios, knowing Fisk full well, sees through this and tries to escape. Bullseye, as shown with both Elektra and the flight attendant, attempts to act suave and flirtatious around women. His tone with Elektra, and even Daredevil, tends to be playful and calm, but barely hides how Ax-Crazy he is.

Foreshadowing: Matt fails to help a woman prove a man raped her in court due to Kingpin giving him a good lawyer and able to get off scot free until Matt shows up as Daredevil and takes him down. Later, he failed to save Elektra from Bullseye, only to avenge her later. Wilson Fisk scoffs at Matt Murdock's insistence that he only protects the innocent, in that nobody is innocent. Their mutual dislike hints at what else he's done that Matt would hate and their eventual confrontation.

Sex Is Violence: Elektra and Bullseye seem to have a thing for people who can match them in a fight. During her sparring match with Matt, when Elektra is told not to hold back, she smiles and starts to enjoy the fight. Bullseye, in a more violent match with Elektra, is clearly smiling the entire time as though aroused by her fighting prowess. Unlike with Matt, Elektra isn't enjoying the match at all.

When he learns Daredevil is on the way to his headquarters, Fisk sends his guards home and takes him on singlehandedly. When it appears he is about to win the fight, Fisk says "It's a shame you came here wounded. I would have loved to fight you in your prime."

For the Evulz: Bullseye thrives on this trope for most of the film which officially begins with him first killing an old lady on plane merely because she annoys him. He later kills a guard at Fisk Corp and admits to Fisk it is not at all necessary, just fun. In the Director's Cut, during Kingpin's first scene, he quickly invokes this trope by killing two of his bodyguards right out of the blue with no explanation given at all.

Because he was injured by the very person he tried to protect, he was unable to save her. Elektra sees her father die and trains with her sai in order to avenge him and nearly killed her supposed murderer "Daredevil", who was actually her boyfriend and ends up immediately regretting it when she took off his mask. She is brutally murdered by Bullseye with the same weapon she aimed to kill him with.

However, even a not-100% Daredevil is soon able to cripple Kingpin — leaving the audience (and probably Kingpin himself) wondering what Daredevil could've done without his recent injuries.

Predecessor Villain: Fallon, Fisk's one-time employer, and, at the time, the largest crime boss in Hell's Kitchen. He's long out of the picture by the time the film starts, but his influence on Fisk (and Matt, who's father he had killed) remains.

Demoted to Extra: Removing the murder case subplot in the theatrical cut means Coolio's role as Matt & Foggy's client was completely gone, Ellen Pompeo's role as Karen Page is reduced to a one scene walk-on, and the majority of Jon Favreau's screen time as Foggy Nelson (Including every scene where his name is mentioned) is cut from the film.

Orgasmic Combat: Matt and Elektra's sparring match in the park. Both of them, more notably Elektra, look more and more excited as the fight goes on, complete with panting. Her fight Bullseye, despite clearly not being interested in him in that way, evokes this, with a lot of heavy breathing on both their parts and Bullseye himself clearly taking deep joy from it. Later in the film, when he mentions Elektra after killing her, Bullseye has a lustful sigh and shakes his head as though he's still fixated on her.

I Have You Now, My Pretty: Even though he was there to gut her, Bullseye seemed to act this way during his fight with Elektra, especially before doing so as he holds her and tries to lovingly (and mockingly) kiss her. While holding her, attempting the kiss, he even speaks to her in a loving manner. During his fight with Daredevil after killing her, he even reminisces about her for a brief moment. And in the Director's Cut he does kiss her, looking annoyed that she doesn't seem to enjoy it.

Irony: Elektra tells Daredevil she wanted to look into the eyes of her father's killer as he dies. Instead, she looked into the eyes of her father's real killer, Bullseye, when he kills her. Her last moments of life are looking into Daredevil's, but because of his mask and blindness, he can't look back. More meaningful in the Director's Cut. Elektra's first seen kiss in this movie is on a rooftop with Matt, who touches her with his right hand first, and leaves soon after. Her last kiss, albeit unwanted, is from Bullseye, on a rooftop, after he touches her, or grabs her neck, with his right hand first, while killing her and also leaves afterwards.

Kiss Diss: When Bullseye grabs Elektra by the neck and holds her close, he tries to kiss her. Elektra pushes him away and moves away from his face each time his mouth comes close. Even as she's gutted, she tries to keep their faces apart, only for him to smile and kiss her. Justified, they aren't a couple, she doesn't share Bullseye's attraction to her and Bullseye killed her father and is sent to kill her.

Shout-Out
 Daredevil / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several shots and dialogue are taken directly from the comics. Also, near the beginning of the film, Fallon mentions 3 fighters that Jack Murdock defeated named Miller, Mack, and Bendis, all three named after people who wrote on the Daredevil comic, and later, we see that the man Jack defeated that night was named John Romita, a name shared with an artist who briefly worked on Daredevil. A criminal that DD hunts down in the beginning of the film is name Jose Quesada. JOE Quesada also did work on the series. Kevin Smith's character is name Jack Kirby. And then there's "Mr. Lee", the client who pays his legal bills with fish. When asked about cuts, Matt says that he is in a Fight Club to which Foggy says he has never seen the film. Matt is essentially Atticus Finch if he moonlighted as a superhero. The first scene of the movie has him futilely standing up for justice in a rape trial, and he often accepts random gifts from impoverished clients in lieu of cash. Early on Jack Murdock says he once beat a fighter by the name of Colan. Gene Colan drew Daredevil from September 1966 to June 1973 (making his run the first of the many long runs the character is known for) and Daredevil is often considered his signature character.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Bullseye's skills, whether he has some kind of ability that alters probability and proficiency in his favor or if he's just really skilled. Admittedly, this is the same movie where Jennifer Garner's character lacks any powers (at least until her spin-off) yet can jump to another rooftop without harm or leap several feet into the air. However, Bullseye himself is able to impale her father with Daredevil's club (which isn't sharp or strong enough to do so), lift Elektra (a full grown woman) by her neck and is strong enough to lift her in the air by gutting her.

No Sense of Personal Space: During their battle, Bullseye is continually trying to get close to Elektra. As he starts winning the fight, Bullseye grabs Elektra by the neck and lifts her up. He then decides to kiss her. Not reciprocating the idea, Elektra pushes him away and pulls her head away whenever he gets close. Regardless, Bullseye remains far too close for her comfort as he keeps their faces close to enough to almost kiss her.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Downplayed since Matt isn't much of a bad boy, but it seems that Elektra warmed up to Matt because he was able to match her in a fight when he was aggressively trying to learn her name, something most men would go to jail for. Averted with Bullseye, he can match her and is pretty blatant about being attracted to her, but he's also a murderous psychopath and killed her father.

When Bullseye makes himself known to Elektra via Wolf Whistle, he's on the building behind her and staring down. It's likely he happened to be looking at her rear.

Dub Name Change
 Daredevil / int_e2c4b927
comment
Dub Name Change: Bullseye was renamed "Mercenário" ("Mercenary") in Brazil and "Mecheniy" ("The Marked One") in Russia. Also, while his name was kept in Spain, his bullseye pun while pointing to his forehead branding was changed to the phonetically similar "pulsa aquí" ("press here", as in pressing a button).

Composite Character
 Daredevil / int_e4965307
comment
Composite Character: Elektra's back story and motivations have much more in common with Echo (another of Daredevil's martial artist love interests) than her comic namesake. The Kingpin is combined with Sladenote No relation, the hitman who killed Jack Murdock in the comics. Being the boss of both Jack Murdock and the pre-Kingpin Fisk makes Fallon a composite of the Fixer and Don Rigoletto.

Hate Sink: Not our villains, ironically enough. Fisk shows some sense of respect in combat and respects Wesley's loyalty to him. Bullseye is hammy despite how violent he is with even Elektra. Quesada, the rapist who used Kingpin's connections to avoid justice, lacks either of those options that could exempt him from this. He gloats about how the woman he raped "enjoyed" it in a tone that didn't escape implications with Matt in the courthouse. His death was mourned by no one.

Adaptation Origin Connection
 Daredevil / int_e8dca77c
comment
Adaptation Origin Connection: The Kingpin of Crime is the man who killed Matt Murdock's father and set him on his vigilante career, rather than Slade, henchman of Roscoe "the Fixer" Sweeney, the Token Motivational Nemesis from in the comics. Additionally, Elektra starts her own career after Bullseye kills her father, and he is her primary enemy in the film; in the comics, her father died in the crossfire of a botched hostage rescue attempt involving a SWAT team and some generic Western Terrorists.

Subverted. Quesada was just unfortunate enough to be the last bad guy Matt came across before deciding Thou Shall Not Kill; that he was a rapist was less important than he was an utter bastard. Matt actually tries to kill Bullseye later as well, but its later revealed that he survived. Also, it seemed an act of desperation: he was able to trash an entire bar-full of goons, but had to hit Quesada so hard he can't walk away because his senses were overwhelmed by the incoming subway train.

Unbuilt Trope
 Daredevil / int_f0e85546
comment
Unbuilt Trope: Though it's certainly not the first superhero film, Daredevil actually deconstructed many aspects of superhero stories back in 2003, when the 2000s superhero movie craze was still in its infancy. It also may be the first movie ever to try the "gritty and realistic" approach to superhero films that Batman Begins is often credited with starting. Aside from the costumes, it's essentially a gritty crime drama about an all too human vigilante whose constant injuries from fighting criminals have left him covered in scars and dependent on painkillers, it fully examines the implications of the hero's typical Honor Before Reason mentality (showing us that Matt Murdock's idealism has left his legal practice struggling because he refuses to represent wealthy clients who he knows to be guilty), and it ends with a Pyrrhic Victory, as Matt puts the Kingpin behind bars (fully aware that he'll be freed soon) but fails to save his love interest.

Distracted by the Sexy: A rare dramatic example. After Matt and Elektra have their first kiss, Matt hears a carjacking in the background and tries to leave so he can intervene... then Elektra looks deep into his eyes and says "Stay with me". Cue sex scene. This only exists in the theatrical cut; Matt answers the call of duty in the director's cut.

Flaming Emblem: Matt apparently drew his famous overlapping "DD" emblem in gasoline and let it set at a crime scene, knowing that someone would flick a cigarette on the ground and set it off. In his review of the movie, the Nostalgia Critic had a field day pointing out how this is not exactly the most obvious or safest calling card, even pointing out that when it's impossible to notice the gasoline on the floor, a subway rider waiting for a train while smoking would be in for a bad day if they dropped their joint.

You Killed My Father: The pre-Kingpin Wilson Fisk killed Daredevil's father whilst he was still an enforcer for Fallow. Matt remains unaware of the Kingpin's involvement until Bullseye reveals the red rose calling card is Fisk's thing. Bullesye kills Elektra's father using Daredevil's billy club, and she subsequently believes that it was Daredevil.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Even in her most brutal fight, with Bullseye, Elektra doesn't look at all bad. Her injuries, this includes the director's cut, include: Having her own sai stab through her hand, punched in the face, back broken, knocked into the floor, head slammed into metal, her neck cut from a playing card and is gutted by her own stab and yet not even any sweat, Bullseye still find her pretty enough to kiss.

Evil Is Petty: In the Director's Cut, while kissing Elektra, Bullseye gives her a satisfied grin. When she doesn't return his kiss and gives him a Death Glare, his smile drops and he ends the kiss looking upset. The part where he yanks the sai he's gutted her with quickly, throws her away violently and wipe his mouth make it look like he's Not Good with Rejection and annoyed she would ruin his fun.
