It Sounds Like 'Elektra' Is Definitely Getting Her Classic Costume In DAREDEVIL Season 2

One of the most exciting aspects of Daredevil's first season was watching Matt Murdock go from wearing that homemade black costume to his classic red suit from the comics, and it now sounds as if we should expect to see a similar journey for Elektra's duds in season two. Talking at the Television Critics Assocation press tour today, co-showrunner Doug Petrie teased: "We love the comics - we're fans - but, we wanted Elektra's costume to be reasonable for a martial artist and she's also a little bit of a stylist. There's definitely a costume, but it needs to happen organically like we saw on Daredevil." So, does that mean we're getting a more realistic take on her classic outfit or an evolution as she embraces a more heroic path by the end of the season? I'd place by bet on the former, but this is still good news. Elodie Yung meanwhile also dropped some interesting hints about her take on the character. "We think Elektra is kind of a sociopath. This world is a game for her, like a chess game. What motivates her is what she wants. She'll use anything … to get to her goal. On the other hand, we wanted to create a character with different layers. I think Elektra is not a bad person. She's not a good person. She's a person with different traits."

Maybe she suggests Matt to go with more red on his suit, since she's a Little bit of a stylist.

@Jaspion

That's what i'm thinking. I think Season 2 will be about what does it mean to be a symbol and Matt will get his costume Red because of Elektra's influence, and Punisher will get a symbol half way through and it'll be Foggy's idea to counter that with a DD. Mtt will think it's unnecessary and we'll have the classic suit in time for Defenders

I think Elektra will be the best of the hand ninjas, but nobody is asking if she does become good, then what will Stick do about it?

Rewatched Season 1 few days ago.

No lie, I'd say Daredevil Season 1 is up there with Spider-Man 2 & The Dark Knight in favorite comic book live action stuff.

Well I think I speak for most when I say we should get a scene with a fully naked assassin, but that's not happening any time soon.

The comic costume is the most impracticable ninja suit in the whole world of stupid costumes.

I mean a bandana and red bathers?
