Flashback: Daredevil (2003)
On the heels of the success of Blade, X-Men, and Spider-Man, a lot of comic book/superhero adaptations were optioned and developed and Daredevil was one of the next films out of the gate. Ben Affleck was cast as attorney Matt Murdock, with Jennifer Garner playing Elektra, Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin, and Colin Farrell bringing a psychotic turn as Bullseye. This movie adaptation tried to merge lot's from the famous comic run of Frank Miller, alongside Daredevil’s origin story.
Spotlight: Atlas Comics
This weeks spotlight shines on Atlas Comics, and their superhero brand of characters. I remember this series of comics best from my childhood, with The Destructor, Grim Ghost, Iron Jaw, Wulf the Barbarian, Tiger-Man, Planet of Vampires, Man-Monster, Demon-Hunter, Man-Stalker, and The Brute all peeking my monster obsessed interests. They had talents like Steve Ditko and Rich Buckler handling the art. This series had a strange vibe to each comic; offbeat and weird, combining monsters with heroes, and attempting to create their own universe with some crossovers. Could this collection of superhero/monster properties make a good television series or feature film?
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Collider Heroes Panel, at the Los Angeles convention center for WonderCon on Saturday, March 26th, 7:30p.m. - 8:30p.m., Room: 152.
