He was doing free running before it was cool.

Not to mention the built in "detective " vision. That cane of his is like a grappling hook and escrema sticks.

Most people have no idea who Daredevil is so it might be a tough sell. Even with the show (and fantastic Waid run in the comics) he's still on the B list.

Personally, I feel like Spawn or Ghost Rider would be better options. Both have better villains and worlds....

He might be talking about Foggy... I dunno...

As for the not dark enough part... lol

Google Frank Miller Daredevil and notice how DD did dark before the Dark Knight.

1 year... isn't long ago when they've been doing that for 20 years.

WB Interactive built up talent, and acquired talented studios. I mean even their license games have been solid (Telltales Wolf Among Us).

The reality is Disney will always focus on their target market, youth. Which isn't a bad thing but it means you'll never see anything on par with Rocksteadys Arkham franchise.

They'll continue shoving characters into Disney Infinity while watching the money grow. Nothing GOTY.

It won't happen over night, but chances are it won't happen at all... While WB keeps releasing award winning games.
WB Montreal will continue the Arkham franchise with Origins titles.
Netherrealms will alter between Mortal Kombat and Injustice, Injustice 2 slated for a 2017 release.
Rocksteady will move onto another franchise probably based off a DC property.
Monolith will continue building Middle Earth and hopefully give a DC game a shot with their Nemesis system.

The real question is, what third party publisher aside from EA(Taken on Star Wars) has the talent to make some solid Marvel games and are looking for a rich IP? Not a lot.

Daredevil just doesn't have the gadgets, weapons and gear that a lot of gamers come to expect when playing current video games.

One of the reasons why Batman works so well is because throughout the game he gets more and more gadgets and upgrades that help him progress through the game, it makes perfect sense for that character and translates extremely well in video games.

Daredevil in comics is a very great character, blind but not helpless, being a layer in Hell's Kitchen, huge personal issues, great supporting characters around him, all that makes for some awesome drama and great writing...but for a game? I just can't see the action aspect being anymore than the same throughout the game. He has plenty of enemies to fight like The Hand, Kingpin and Bullseye.

But how could his abilities be translated into a game and not get boring quick? If they gave anything else to DD he would not be DD anymore and more Batman.

I welcome any ideas though, maybe I'm missing something.

@gangsta_red

Daredevil would work much like how Spider-man works in games.

As I said before, the swinging aspect is almost the same. And as for things like sticking to the walls, Daredevil has been known to hang off ledges with his billy clubs, just not the way someone like Spider-man obviously would.

And he doesn't need gadgets. You can play off of his radar sense plenty. And have you seen the way he uses those clubs? He's been known to throw them around like Captain America with this shield with them coming back to him and all.

It's not that you're missing anything. It's that you're looking at Dardevil literally at face value rather than delving deeper into the character's actual history.

The problem everyone here seems to have this thought that a Daredevil game HAS to be like a Batman game, which is far from the truth.

"Daredevil would work much like how Spider-man works in games."

I would make Daredevil have more of a parkour type of movement for getting around the city instead of web like swinging.

"It's that you're looking at Dardevil literally at face value rather than delving deeper into the character's actual history."

I'm actually looking at him from a game developer point of view and how this character could work from a gameplay stance and how anyone could make him interesting enough for a player to want to spend 40+ hours playing that specific character.

"The problem everyone here seems to have this thought that a Daredevil game HAS to be like a Batman game, which is far from the truth."

You have a point here...maybe....maybe it could play out like sort of an action RPG like game.

Where you have certain objectives day in, day out...in the day you have specific cases you take on and at night you investigate leads. DD would fight enemies in an action RPG environment sort of like Parasite Eve or FF: Type 0. And when you question enemies you can monitor their heart rate, breathing and everything else to see if their telling the truth.

The next day maybe present your findings in court and depending on how far you got the night before determines the outcome of the court proceedings...????
