Daredevil will go on for 13 episodes straight to Netflix before mixing it up with three other Netflix series to make a Marvel team-up mini-series, The Defenders. He’s the first person announced from the cast so far.
Matt Murdock, as a boy, was exposed to metamutagen ooze – kidding, just leave it at “freak chemicals” – but they blinded him and instead heightened all of his other powers. As an adult, he moonlights as the vigilante Daredevil by night and as a lawyer by day.
