Is there any word on a Blu Ray release?

Game of thrones and that usually wait for just before the next season comes out as it is a double whammy for marketing and also they can get more viewers to sign up to their channels.
 
Damnit, I wanted to register exactly that domain (I had an idea to make a blog where I discussed the legal issues in Daredevil comics and the quality of the law portrayed). Oh well. I hope they put it to good use.

I just found out today that DD's new writer is actually a lawyer himself, so I thought of you, were you aware of this?

Yeah. After reading his work on She-Hulk, I'm excited. One of his first issues was Dr. Doom's son wanting amnesty. He came to She-Hulk exactly one year from the time he arrived. While the whole plot was goofy (She-Hulk has a lighter tone than Daredevil), it was good attention to detail that made it seem like the author wanted you to have an accurate understanding of the law. I have faith that he's going to put in the effort to do that right.

And, in spite of the tone of She-Hulk, he also writes the Inhuman series, which is darker in tone, so I think he find the right tone for Daredevil (maybe darker than Waid but lighter than Brubaker).

Some of his comments concern me a bit - the decision to move Matt Murdock to the prosecutor's side because it makes his interests aligned between Daredevil and lawyer (something that I think oversimplifies both prosecutors and defense attorneys and, more importantly, removes an interesting point of tension). That being said, given his work so far, I think he'll handle the whole thing with balance and care. I'm certainly looking forward to it.
 
Just saw the teaser for season 2, and I got chills.
 
Looks like a little devil will show up on Jessica Jones according to a Collider Heroes

I wish Charles Soule the best but I'm a bit worried. How in the devil hell (hehe) do you top the Bendis/Brubaker/Waid era?! Just how?!
 
If those rumors about Iron Fist being cancelled are becoming true, at least make him a regular in Daredevil. Daniel Rand needs to take care of Gao and her Steele Serpent drug. Also, he's company is responsible for blinding Matt.
 
Those rumors are likely not true. That show is still a year and half away. Plenty of time for someone to be cast.

Well, I don't really consider Bendis and Waid to be part of the same era (I do consider Brubaker to be part of the same era as Bendis because of the continuing story and relative continuity of tone, although I like Brubaker much better). But, as much as I love Waid, I'll say this: Waid's closing arc hasn't been anywhere near as well-received as the stuff in the past. Volume 3 may be among Daredevil's best, but I'm not sure Volume 4 will be. Just like Waid followed Andy Diggle, not Ed Brubaker, Soule's coming in at not quite a high mark. I think that leads to a desire for some fresh blood and Soule's doing the right thing by shaking things up significantly.

Interesting. I've never seen his work before so I have no idea of what to expect. But it will still take me years until I'm finished catching up to the present issues of DD.
 
Another thing that really helped with She-Hulk was that Charles Soule used to be a lawyer so he really knows his ****...or he still is a lawyer....but he's gonna be writing Daredevil? I absolutely can't wait for that run.
 
According to Elodie Yung's IG, it looks like they will be filming a big fight tonight in NYC...
elodie_yung: Bye bye LA! It was a nice break in the sun, now back on set for a big fight sequence tonight! #Daredevil #Elektra #sai
 
I wish Jason Statham did not turn down the role of Bullseye (if that role was really offered to him).
 
Bullseye is such an awesome character and I really hope that a better actor than Statham plays him.
 
Matt contemplated killing Fisk, and a few more.
I hope he doesn't make it one of his goals to try and stop Frank.
 
It's always been his goal to try and stop Frank. Why wouldn't it be here? He contemplated killing Fisk exactly once. I don't recall him contemplating that with anyone else.
 
Well lets be honest, he did things to other characters at times that could have easily killed them. And the only reason that they didn’t die is, well because the writers said that they didn’t.
It’s still not going as far as Frank does, but it wasn’t JUST a case of “oh he thought about killing Fisk once.”
 
It's always been his goal to try and stop Frank. Why wouldn't it be here?
Because it will be Matt being annoying.
If they are fighting side by side and Matt takes away his magazines, that will be fine, if he marks stopping Frank as one of his goals he will remind me of that time he prioritized stopping Frank from killing Tombstone, who was closer to DD's location, on a stage, holding a machine gun, about to shoot hundreds of people, and Tombstone has bulletproof skin.
He contemplated killing Fisk exactly once. I don't recall him contemplating that with anyone else.
In the show, he wanted to do it more than once, he even intentionally blew the light on top of Nobu, and his oil saturated outfit.

In comics, the way he threw Bullseye off a suspension cable once, and another time he tricked Taskmaster into jumping in front of a passing car....
I don't remember if he tried to kill anyone else after that.

Considering how badly damaged at the hands of nobu he had no choice but to kill or be killed pretty much. Even though i believe matt would've thrown him in the water had he had the chance.
 
Nobu was clearly self-defense. The guy was trying to kill him and came very close to doing so. Matt's actions were quick thinking to stop him. Just because death was the result doesn't mean death was intended.

Punisher is clearly different. With Frank Castle, death is not only the goal, it's the goal when he has a choice between detaining someone for trial and killing them.
 
I always saw it as a desperate but calculated move to end the fight. Matt was expecting Nobu to give up and jump into the river (just as he does moments later). And was shocked when Nobu kept fight despite being on fire. So while Matt is responsible for putting him in that position, Nobu is ultimately the cause of his own death by not backing down.
