PREMISE

Several years ago, the son of a boxer, Matthew Murdock (Affleck) rescued a man from being hit by a truck, but in doing so, was himself hit by a strange radioactive isotope, that left Murdock blind... or so he let people think. Though his eyes no longer functioned, Matt gained a radar-like ability which he kept secret. Years later, Matt has become an attorney working in the rough Hell's Kitchen section of New York City. At night, he uses his strange ability, years of physical training, a souped-up billyclub, and red tights (complete with a horned mask) to become... Daredevil. His enemies include the mob boss Kingpin, who seems the likely choice for the movie villain.
