IGN hailed this 2001 Daredevil script as "everything the first Batman should've been." We put that on trial in this deep dive into the Mark Steven Johnson & Brian Helgeland draft that eventually turned into the 2003 Daredevil movie! Plus, what actors were almost cast as Matt Murdock?
Big thanks to Patreon patron Nolan Moore on providing the October 2001 draft for us.
