So, with all the talking about how other Daredevil movies, both made and unmade, pretty much suck, I thought it was high time to put my money where my mouth is an prove that even someone who's written Supernatural fanfic can write a good Daredevil script (I keed, I keed. It's a great Daredevil script).

I get the feeling that a lot of times in Hollywood, this happens.

Screenwriter: So my original script will be about a dark heroine, walking the line between justice and vengeance, trying to make sense of the cruel world which murdered her family and took her virginity.

Executive: We have the license for Squirrel Girl. Work with that.

Screenwriter: Hmm... this could still work...

TWO YEARS LATER...

Squirrel Girl: The squirrels tell me to kill!

But if you got someone who was actually a fan of the comics... and who didn't direct Simon Birch, I cannot stress that enough... you might come up with a pretty good story. The idea here is to do an origin story that kicks off a trilogy, yes, just like every other fan script in existence. But instead of cliffhangers and stupid crap, each story would be self-contained and satisfying on its own, while forming one epic story of the war between Matt Murdock and the Kingpin when watched altogether. This installment would introduce all the characters who would need to be established for the Elektra Saga to work, so you wouldn't have to rush through the story like Mark Steven Johnson's version.

You could also tackle the Hand in an Elektra spin-off, or continue the series with an emphasis on Brian Michael Bendis's DD run, or even do a Punisher Vs. Daredevil crossover. But hey, it's never gonna happen. So, without further adieu for what amounts to just another fanfic...

( Man Without Fear. )

And for the record, here's who I'm picturing for the various parts.
