Batman and Daredevil (Retro)



Daredevil's simple all-red costume designs is one of the most effective in comics.  Even so, I still get a kick out of the yellow and red outfit that he wore for his first few adventures.  It doesn't seem like it should work, but for some reason I like it.

I have read that Daredevil is another contender for a movie reboot, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out.  I think a Daredevil is a character that could perhaps be best suited for an ongoing TV series.  It could definitely be done on a reasonable budget and the machinations of the underworld and the legal system with Matt Murdock trying to navigate both could be the springboard for a complex, continuing story line. Maybe if Marvel has luck with their proposed Hulk series we will see something like this in the future.

  1. I really enjoy the covers you've developed. The Batman and Boba Fett from Brave and the Bold is my favorite.

  3. Let's see... Bobba Fett is part of a famous movie franchise? We are in the "D's". Hmmm wonder who would fit the bill? Could it be Thomas Wayne in a costume of his own, connected to a respirator?

  4. If you're going retro, why not Batman and the original, Lev Gleason, Daredevil? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_(Lev_Gleason_Publications)

  5. I do have plans for a cover featuring the Lev Gleason Daredevil, but that's down the road a bit.
