Daredevil Reboot Actually Happening?

So, Fox made “Daredevil”, and despite nerd hatred and a terrible writer/director, it did pretty well. So well they decided to back what seemed like the winning horse as Jennifer Garner’s career was seen to be on the rise for some reason, and make “Elektra”. And we all know how THAT turned out.

Ever since, “Daredevil” has sat at Fox as Fox busied itself ruining the “X-Men” franchise and insisting it was impossible to make superhero movies any better. But now that “X-Men: First Class” actually did well, Fox is looking to salvage its one other comics franchise, so they’ve hired a screenwriter, Brad Caleb Kane, to take a whack at it.

Kane mostly writes for (ugh) “Fringe”, and also helped write “Brooklyn’s Finest”, so at least he has a noirish background. The arc he’s tackling?

“Born Again”.

Maybe we should just write the vitriolic review now and get it over with.
