Was bored with superheroes a while ago, so wont bother with this. I've already taken Arrow off my record list on sky...
Daredevil is boring, and I've never heard of the rest, but they all sound pretty cliched and pointless. I'd be surprised if this isn't cancelled well before the 3rd superhero gets their series, and I'd be amazed if the film happens...
Been working my way through Daredevil since it was released yesterday, and it's awesome. Do yourself a favour and watch it. Almost half way through and it really is superb.
Im excited for Iron Fist. One of the lesser knowns, less mainstream, but way baddass characters.
They have a good hint towards Iron Fist just over half way through which was cool. Finished the season today and I don't think I can praise it enough. His suit he eventually wears looks good. I always liked the suit from the Daredevil film, even though it would be impractical. This one is a lot more practical, but cool in a different way.
I think the super hero genre is becoming over saturated and in 5 years we will be lucky to get a super hero movie after a massive fan burn out.
Anyways i'm pretty hyped about the Suicide Squad movie coming out next year.
Right now I'm just trying to keep up with the MCU films and Agents of Shield - although I did check out Daredevil's first couple episodes but didn't think much of it. Like benjawi said, it was just boring.

Must be thinking of someone else. Loved Daredevil. Fantastic first season. You should give it another go.
Oops, it was Hilds who said that. My bad.
Maybe I'll watch another episode. It wasn't bad, I just didn't think it was that good.

I got about half way through the first season and haven't watched Daredevil for a while... Not from disinterest, I quite enjoyed it, I just haven't had the time to watch em. It is kinda slow going though, but then they're really taking time to build and flesh out the characters. All I can say is give it time.

I don't think it was me either... I haven't watched any daredevil episodes.
One of the highlights of the Daredevil series was that they took the time to flesh out the characters. You really get to know Kingpin, which was great and you see how he becomes who he is. That really was brilliant, and was nice seeing a villain shown like that.
Some of the fight scenes as well were so awesomely choreographed that it was stunning to watch. This was one of my favourites, especially since he was barely concious whilst doing this.

Daredevil is boring
I was basing it off that, although it occurs to me now you may have been talking about the character in general.

Yea, the general character imo I'd boring. The Ben affleck film was obviously horrible as well...
All anyone wants these days are superheroes. Put 'em on the big screen! Put 'em on a lunchbox! Put 'em on your kid's underwear! Use them to spackle that crack in the bathtub! Yes, build a superhero anything, and an audience will come running with a fistful of cash. Your latest media entity to jump on the trend? Netflix!
The video-streaming service has partnered with Disney/Marvel Television in a newly announced deal that will bring four Marvel-branded live-action series and one big-event miniseries to Netflix beginning in 2015 and rolling out over several years. The superpeople at the center of the series will be Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. Each series will have a 13-episode run, and once those have been released, all four characters will reunite for a The Defenders miniseries. Yes, this is that 60-episode Marvel deal that was swirling around the rumor drain last month.
Daredevil – You know Daredevil as Ben Affleck. Well, Affleck played him in the 2003 film. Daredevil, born Matt Murdock, was blinded by radioactive sludge at a young age, and though his sight was taken from him, his remaining senses went boffo and now he has the abilities of echolocation, heightened atheticism, and uhhhh... super taste? And in some iterations of the character, Daredevil has a dark side too: He's a lawyer!
Jessica Jones – This perty lady also became super from comics' go-to well of power-sourcing: radioactive material! A former classmate of Peter Parker, Jones used her abilities of flight (which she was never good at controlling), super strength, and temporary invulnerability to give the superhero thing a shot... but it didn't work out so well. So she chose a safer line of work and became a private detective. Spoiler: Later in life, she would go on to marry Luke Cage.
Luke Cage – This dude started out as a petty thief, but was sent to the big house after being framed by a former friend for a crime he didn't commit. In prison, he underwent an experimental cell-regeneration procedure that went awry and gave him super strength, impervious skin, and accelerated healing abilities. As you already know if you read what I just said about Jessica Jones, he eventually married Jessica Jones. *high fives Luke Cage, shatters every bone in hand*
Iron Fist – Born Daniel Rand, this guy learned martial arts from some badasses in a mythical city following the death of his parents. The most "real" of these four heroes, this guy is really just super at martial arts. But he does have one cool party trick: the ability to focus his chi into his fist, forming a glowing and dense five-fingers-and-one-palm-of-death. Iron Fist can also heighten his physical skills and heal fast... if anyone can even hurt him! I guess I'm most excited about this one because Iron Fist's earthly abilities seem better matched for television.
Do we need more superheroes on TV? Is anyone else suffering from superhero exhaustion? Can superhero series work without a huge budget? What do YOU think?
