New DAREDEVIL Banner Shows The Path To Season 2

New DAREDEVIL Banner Shows The Path To Season 2

See the gauntlet that Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) ran through in season 1 to become the Daredevil of season 2. New episodes of the smash-hit Marvel and Netflix collaboration begin streaming March 18th. As we draw closer to the new season, who do you think is the 'actual' villain?

Daredevil features returning stars Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson and Rosario Dawson. New stars joining the show for season 2 include Élodie Yung, Jon Bernthal and Stephen Rider. Scott Glenn is also expected to reprise his role as Stick.  While the new season is just a mere ten weeks away there's scarcely any details about who Daredevil will face in season 2. The new showrunners for Daredevil, Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez, have referred to season 2 as "Daredevil vs The Punisher".  But it's hard to imagine an anti-hero like the Punisher as the actual villain of season 2, surely there's true villain present that both characters will be trying to stop.

In the comics, the conflict between Daredevil and Punisher has always revolved around their respective methodologies; is it better to bring truly evil criminals to justice or just execute them on the spot?   With the introduction of Elektra (Elodie Yung), surely The Hand can't be too far behind.  Nobu (Peter Shinkoda) certainly appeared to be a member of The Hand but the show has yet to explicitly make this connection. Perhaps Elektra arrives in NYC to avenge Nobu only to discover that his killer is her old college flame?

Patiently awaiting actual season 2 material. I don't need to be reminded of that lame-ass final punch DD gave to Kingpin.

I'd like The Hand as the main villainous group. But who leads it? Elektra? I imagine she will be bad/good. Same with Punisher.

So who is the actual villain?

This is why you need Kingpin operating from prison and hiring a master assassin, Bullseye.

Whenever I see his egg-face all I can think of is him blowing his brains out on a toiler seat.

It was nice of them to let Daredevil design his own posters and promos.

Man these are terrible.

@Indoorsman

I agree. The composition at least worked in the promo because you knew it was a Sistine chapel-esque mural. Without context, these just look bad.

Also, the Sistine Chapel ceiling actually had interesting compositions in each box. This is just floating heads and screencaps.

Stations of the Cross would've worked better, albeit being the wrong denomination and also hella sacrilegious.

Ya, season2 looks awesome!! it gonna be crazy with Punisher n Electra.
I love what Netflix is doing with DD.

The tone of this show is so gritty, and beautiful, that i forget its part of the McU.

Here is what the heavy Catholic symbolism is telling me in all of this promo art:

1. A struggle is being waged for the NYC's soul.

2. Daredevil is like a Guardian Angel, shepherding the weak and innocent.

3. Kingpin locked in jail after being exposed as a crime lord is like Satan being trapped in Hell after his fall from grace.

4. Punisher will be The Angel of Death, purveyor of Wrath upon the wicked.

5. Daredevil represents a New Testament morality of compassion towards one's enemies, while Punisher represents a vengeful Old Testament morality of "eye for an eye".

6. Elektra's double role as Matt's lover and Hand assassin makes her a biblical temptress in the vein of Salome or Eve who compromises the hero's morals.

7. Bullseye, if he appears, will be a demon, a malevolent being who exists to bring chaos and ruin upon all he encounters.

Ahh, the top pattern says M (for Matt/Murdock), the bottom pattern says W (for Wilson). A mirror image of each other. Two sides of the same coin. Very clever.

The Hand will probably be a main villain throughout with Elektra as a leader-type before she turns 'good'. It'd be nice if Fisk was the mastermind in the end. Maybe Bullseye kills Elektra? Or is that too much in one season? Matt and Elektra already have a past.

The stuff with The Hand could lead into The Defenders territory. Black Sky will probably show up somewhat with Daredevil learning of Stone as well. Any room for Gladiator?
