6 Silly Daredevil Villains Who Probably Won’t Appear on Netflix

The new Daredevil TV show premieres in only a few days, and early reviews praise it as a phenomenal show that captures the darkness and the grit that comes with the character. Daredevil is a different sort of program than the humor and action packed Avengers movies, while still maintaining that Marvel quality. Vincent D’Onofrio’s performance as the Kingpin is being hailed as a showstopper.

The story of a blind attorney who fights crime in Hell’s Kitchen, Daredevil has consistently been one of Marvel’s best comics — but there’s probably a lot of Daredevil history that’s going to be left on the cutting room floor.

Lady Bullseye is a real thing

For all the great Kingpin stories out there, and the legendary comic runs by Frank Miller and Brian Michael Bendis, Daredevil had his fair share of silliness back in the day. Characters like the Owl and Gladiator are set to premiere in the first season, and classic foes like Bullseye and Elektra are probably shoe-ins for the second season, but beyond those characters, Daredevil’s Rogues Gallery doesn’t have a very deep bench.

Join me after the jump to check out the 6 silliest Daredevil villains, none of whom are probably going to make it into the new Netflix show.

Even More Daredevil Fun!

The Daredevil TV show is only a week away on Netflix, and early reviews are burning across the Internet! People who have seen a few preview episodes are raving about this show. So obviously, that has me very excited! I cannot wait for this show!

To tide us all over, here are two back-to-back new trailers in one video!

Can’t wait! Can’t wait! I can’t freakin’ wait! Somebody make it Friday already! Oh wait, it is Friday! Gah!

The New Daredevil Trailer is Chillingly Good!

Somebody get me Netflix on the phone, I need to buy all the subscriptions! The second trailer for the upcoming Daredevil TV show has hit the web, and it is mind-blowingly cool!

Oh man, that was exciting! The characters, the physicality, the Kingpin, the MCU references, the blood, the music, the darkness, the dialogue; it all looks great! I am so pumped for this show. And I am so pumped for it to be amazing. I hope Daredevil really takes off for Marvel and Netflix. I hope people flocked to the show.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is a great time to be alive!

First Daredevil Trailer is Dark and Bloody!

There’s going to be a Daredevil TV show, people! Live action, potentially multiple seasons, and it’s coming out in April on Netflix! It’s still hard to wrap my brain around this amazing fact! Now we can check out the first trailer!

No red costume yet, but we know it’s coming (hopefully they skip the yellow one)! The show looks dark, gritty, and yet heroic too. I’m really excited for this show – and this is coming from a guy who enjoys the Ben Affleck movie.

What a time to be alive!

Hellcat is Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

There’s some new exciting casting news out of the upcoming Netflix Defenders shows: Rachel Taylor has been cast as Patsy Walker in the Jessica Jones show, and Patsy Walker is the superhero known as Hellcat! That’s just purrfect! I mean…wait…no, I can do better than that. Casting Rachel Taylor is…the cat’s meow? Oh jeez, I think I’ve bottomed out…

How is it possible that I’m out of good cat puns this early into my career?!

Patsy Walker is going to be a syndicated talk radio host and Jessica Jones’ best friend, so that’s pretty neat. You may remember Taylor from Grey’s Anatomy or, as I know her, the Aussie hacker from the first Transformers movie. Whatever happened to her character? Am I the only human being on the planet who wants to know what happened to all the various human Transformers movie characters who simply disappeared between films?

Regardless, I’m sure Taylor will be awesome on the show. And casting Hellcat (though there’s no promise that she’ll become Hellcat) opens up a world of possibilities. Just imagine what minor Marvel characters could pop up on these shows and maybe join the eventual Defenders.

I think I smell a new listicle coming…
