Daredevil The Inevitable Costume Thread

[Keyser Soze]

This is gonna be one of those situations where "It's only the first, prototype costume" is gonna have to be written about 10 times per page until people get it, isn't it?

 

[seahammer]

If only that would help... le sigh...

 

[First Avenger]

Looks cool. For a dyed Iron Fist costume. Definitely DDINO from appearance

It's from Frank Miller's comics run.

 

[Dark Raven]

It his first costume. I was there, I watched the clips, it's acknowledged as a prototype:

CLARE: Your costume sucks.
MATT: It's a work in progress.

It would be cool if Night Nurse said that it looked like something Street Hawk might wear.

Of course, it doesn't, since it doesn't look anything like a motorcycle outfit. But Rex Smith (DD in Trial of the Incredible Hulk) was Street Hawk.

Yes. That's what they get for the costume reveal not being the final costume.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Im glad the footage clarifies that its his proto suit, just so the people who are a little thick in skull can catch on and realize its exactly like the proto suit he wore in the comics.

 

[gdw]

I'm really surprised with all the *****ing about the costume.

Do people really not realize what we've got here? A truly long format exploration for the character.
I see no reason they couldn't have it be the full season with the proto costume, using the first season as a full origin arc for him to become Daredevil.

Considering it sounds like Fisk is starting pre-kingpin, I wouldn't be surprised if they took the full first season to do a real long development of both of them.

 

[Keyser Soze]

You'd think the first reaction of any fan with an inkling of the comics would be "Aw yeah! They've perfectly recreated the Man Without Fear proto-suit!"

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

The raging fanboys on Twitter are not getting a response from DeKnight (who is vocal) or anyone else over threats of cancelling Netflix subs.

Raging fanboys who never read the comics apparently.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'm fine with this being a proto-suit. I just really wish I hadn't scene that awful episode of The Incredible Hulk way back when that featured Daredevil because that's all I can think of when I see this, lol. No matter though; he'll get a proper DD costume soon enough.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Raging fanboys who never read the comics apparently.

Yeah, to me they're outing themselves as amateur fans. But that's cool too. Everyone gets to enjoy it for the first time once. But it'd be nice to calm down before that point.

 

[TheFantasticJoe]

I wonder if the costume in that picture being cast in a yellow glow is supposed to be a reference to the original yellow suit?

Or maybe that's just reaching.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Yeah, to me they're outing themselves as amateur fans. But that's cool too. Everyone gets to enjoy it for the first time once. But it'd be nice to calm down before that point.

And we both know that despite how much of a pounding their keyboards will take from the outrage regarding the costume, when this show drops they'll be slavishly binge-watching with the rest of us. Marvel knows this, DeKnight knows this. They are owned. Let's just hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

[VulcanVader]

Think about this: Captain America or Iron Man have had 2-3 suits in a 2 hour movie. Daredevil has 13 hours, do you really think they will keep that black ninja costume that long?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

raging fanboys on Twitter

lolololol

You'd think the first reaction of any fan with an inkling of the comics would be "Aw yeah! They've perfectly recreated the Man Without Fear proto-suit!"

truth.

 

[Gr0oT]

Not all fans have had the pleasure of reading Miller's run though, it's got an awesome omnibus and trades but it's still 20-30 years old isn't it?

Many fans might assume his proto suit would be the yellow and black one which does preceed MWF.

If you see the rags and think that it is the final costume I can understand being let down.

 

[The Shape]

My reaction:

Aw yeah! They've perfectly recreated the Man Without Fear proto-suit!

 

[Moridin]

I'm really surprised with all the *****ing about the costume.

I'm really not surprised at all.

 

[Human Torch]

Of course, it doesn't, since it doesn't look anything like a motorcycle outfit. But Rex Smith (DD in Trial of the Incredible Hulk) was Street Hawk.

 

[TeeKay]

Will refuse to watch this series until I hear this piece of **** ''GROUNDEDREALNOLAN'' costume is replaced with the true DD one.

Clueless exec$ worrying about not attracting the NCIS/L&O demo with a red suit.

Looks cool. For a dyed Iron Fist costume. Definitely DDINO from appearance

Nope. It looks like the proto-suit suit from Frank Miller's Man Without Fear.

EDIT: That's already been pointed out.

 

[PyroChamber]

I couldn't tell in the picture, but did he have the billy club with him?

This is how i feel as well

It'll probably be his full costume for season 1 at least if I had to guess.

Reminds me of the Batman Begins ski-mask outfit:

They wouldn't be making fun of the costume in that night nurse scene if they didn't plan on switching it same season.

 

[Human Torch]

Reminds me of the Batman Begins ski-mask outfit:

This would be my fear as well.

At least in BB the proto-bat costume was in a single scene.

If this thing is used more than 3 times-blegh.
