Line 11:
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: Whatever the film's faults, it does do something rare for a comic book film in that, unlike Spider-Man and the X-Men, it can make you forget you're watching a comic book adaption. Some scenes feel like they're from a different film (in the best possible sense). It's only when Bullseye shows up it starts to slip (It's not easy to make a realistic film involving a man who can go on killing sprees with paper clips and peanuts). Since other films, most notably Christopher Nolan's Batman films and the Snyderverse, have done this more successfully, Daredevil is unlikely to get credit for trying it first.
* [[Took the Bad Film Seriously]]: Ben Affleck did a respectful portrayal of a blind person.
* [[Vindicated by History]]: Many fans and critics left cold by the theatrical cut were far more receptive to the Directors Cut which reinstated a lot of the classic elements of the comics (Matt's catholic faith and his legal skills). It is now considered one of Marvel's better pre-Cinematic Universe films.
* [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: All-American Jennifer Garner as a Greek? Indian-American Erick Avari as her father? Hm? At least Micheal Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin makes sense: even if he's black, he's ''huge'' and [[Scary Black Man|intimidating]], and that's what's important (Fun Fact: In the comics The Kingpin was originally ''supposed'' to be black before Marvel changed it at the last minute, fearing accusations of racism).
