My stylized version.

well that's badass. I dig it a whole bunch. surprised no one has said anything.. (but these forums are quiet these days)

the only thing I would say is wrong its that the pose/body language isn't really in tune with the actual character. I look at this and think... Joker maybe? or Riddler?

still...your art is crazy cool here

That you for the compliment.

You are not alone in thinking this is out of character, Rob. However. this is Daredevil currently.

Well, it seems Daredevil’s secret identity has been exposed yet again. Again, because this is not the first, second or third time. Stan and Gene Colan did this first in the 60s. At that time, his ID was saved by introducing Matt’s previously unknown twin brother, Mike Murdock. Yes, it was really Matt, but Mike was so carefree and arrogant, everyone believed it.

So back to today, Matt is disbarred from practicing law in New York. He moves to San Francisco (a city he’s been to before) and writes a book. He seems to adopt this devil suit for branding purposes to sell the book. Hard to believe Mark Waid wrote this. He fights crime as a hero and a lawyer in this outfit. Matt see no reason to wear a mask anymore.

He shows up in court very cocky, after having fought street crime in this suit. One can only imagine how funky and smelly it was. Totally out of character for Matt and pretty much fully Mike Murdock!

Daredevil #14 hit the stands just as the Daredevil Netflix series hit the air. We won’t have to suffer the Murdevil for long. Now that it is a hit, we can’t have this version of Daredevil in the books, so Marvel will be reverting back to the regular Daredevil with a secret identity. How? We’ll find out.

points all totally valid. I should edit myself for sure by saying that I was obviously only thinking of the "traditional" version of the character.. like the one on the TV show. I stopped reading DD after Bendis left.. and that's the definitive version of the character to me.

I had NO idea this thing was happening.. in which case you obviously nailed it.

so... consider me well and truly schooled sir.. now I know.. and knowing is.. well... you know..

I like it (your original post, not necessarily what the comic might be doing with the character)... the stylized look works for DD!
