Is it ok to post it here? I have it.

Hard to tell by the size of the image. So it came straight from Netflix? Not that I don't believe, just doesn't show up on my Netflix.

Make sure you spoiler tag it.

Yeah Netflix momentarily screwed up. The pic was up for a while before they changed it back to Matt in his lawyer gear.

If you do put it in spoiler tags

 

[Darkraid]

Here it is.

[kedrell]

Awesome. Thanks.

 

[Six]

Looks cool, but wish the picture was bigger lol

 

[TheVileOne]

I really hope they didn't sacrifice the DD logo.

 

[Snikt]

Is that real. Doesn't look like Charlie Cox's chin lol

 

[Six]

Looks more like Ben Affleck to me lol

 

[Darkraid]

Can't decide if I should like the costume. Need to see it in action to decide.

 

[Six]

Do you think they'll officially release it now, or will they wait until the show premieres first?

 

[TheVileOne]

They should officially release it. I think it was silly to try and hide it. As Joe Rogan says, "You can't stop the internet.

 

[Six]

Yeah, I agree. I wasn't one of those people who made a big deal about the suit. I honestly wouldn't have cared if I had to wait till April 10th to see it, or if they released it from the beginning. But now their hand is kind of forced.

I like that it isn't leather, lol. It feels like it has some practicality/protection. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing come Friday. Hope there is the DD logo on it.

Looks more like Captain America's suit, but red. Which is a good thing. Now just to see it in action.

 

[TheVileOne]

FYI, Netflix released the image so it originated from them.

IMHO, if this was how they wanted to reveal the iconic suit, IMHO not the best way to do it.

 

[yllum]

I just wish that it is all red, like in the comics

 

[TheVileOne]

I understand, but I am happier that he at least has the mask and the horns at least.

The thing is, these days with the superhero costumes it is more about looking functional and realistic. The outfits are more utilitarian than they are iconic. So they have all this added detail to make them look like there is a reason for wearing the tights.

Honestly, I mean, I worry they were just going to stick with the Trial of the Incredible Hulk outfit for the whole show.

 

[Broseph44]

We really should wait to see it first of all in motion on the show. And also full body shot of the costume before making any real conclusions on it.

 

[cryptic name]

Here it is.

Spoiler

Think I like it. Definitely like the shade of [BLACKOUT]red[/BLACKOUT] and the material. My main concern is that he look as lean and flexible as he does in the ninja outfit. and the presence of [BLACKOUT]the DD emblem[/BLACKOUT] of course. Definitely excited to see the whole thing in motion.

 

[TheVileOne]

Something about the suit:

Spoiler

Claire asks Matt about about wearing body armor. Matt says, "No, it would slow me down." Claire responds, "so would a bullet."

Melvin Potter made Kingpin a knife and bullet proof suit that is very thin and apparently flexible enough for him to beat people up...so...

 

[Compi716]

It's hard to tell if he has the interlocking DD on his chest. I hope they didn't let that detail slip by!

 

[TheVileOne]

If they let that go, I will be a sad panda.

Good point. We should, however, note that Matt/Daredevil is also the first character in the MCU to really embrace a secret identity, so he could also be the first to embrace the outfit as more than a functional piece of equipment. As a symbol to the neighborhood.
