^ For a second, I thought you were suggesting that Mike Murdock be a character
I'm toying with the idea. If it does occur, it shouldn't occur in the same point chronologically as in the comics. Instead, it should occur at the very end of the season. The storyline I picture for season one is roughly some vague point before #168 (my idea includes "In the Hands of Bullseye" (160) and "Till Death Do Us Part" (166). Naturally, it would include "Expose" (164) as well if we're using this idea) up to #181 or 182. Ben Urich would be introduced as a minor character early on, but take on a major role in nearly getting "spiked" by Elektra while trying to expose the Kingpin. After that, having him try to find out who Daredevil is would be a nice little sideplot that ultimately ends in learning this information and deciding not to do anything about it. The payoff is bigger. It's more personal too because of the interaction between Ben and Matt throughout the season (not necessarily positive interaction either, arguably. While I'm sure there's mutual admiration, Matt almost gets Ben killed). In the end, though, Ben realizes that Daredevil is too important for the city to reveal Matt's identity.
As a tangent, one of the things I dislike about where Daredevil has gone is that he's lost his secret identity. That being said, having people find out does help shakeup the status quo. If I were creating a season 2, it would be some mixture of Born Again (after the Kingpin finds out), Hardcore (assuming the Kingpin loses power at the end of the Defenders team up), and the stuff having to do with the Hand (187 to 190), but that seems to be a complete convoluted mess. But one ongoing thing (leaving aside the Hand stuff, which is just to set up an Elektra spinoff) is that a secret identity is hard to keep forever. In the first season, only Ben and Elektra would know. In the second season, the Kingpin would find out. At the end, it's possible the whole city would be on the verge of finding out. It's also possible to do Born Again and Daredevil Hardcore as a Season 3, meaning no Kingpin in Season 2. The only hesitation I have is some version of Hardcore is a convenient way to introduce Typhoid Mary as the distraction that allows the Kingpin to come back.
Andre Royo played Bubbles, a homeless drug addict turned police covert informant who is possibly one of the coolest characters on the show. You should go watch The Wire. It might be the best show ever
No idea about Josie. I feel the ideal cast to cull from would be sitcoms made in the past five years, but I don't really watch any.
Does anyone have any thoughts on Heather Glenn? She's probably too complicated of a character to fit into thirteen episodes along with everything else and she ended up having so much baggage that they killed her off, but she was Matt's girlfriend for quite awhile. Is she worth having on the show or forgetting about?
