Update: According to Marvel’s official Daredevil teaser, the show will debut on March 18 — that’s a week ahead of the initial reports that the show would go head to head with Warner Bros.‘s Batman v. Superman. This post has been updated to reflect that.

Marvel's Daredevil - Coming Soon, Season 2 - Only On Netflix [HD]

No good deed goes unpunished. #Daredevil

Posted by Marvel's Daredevil on Thursday, January 7, 2016

For comics fans, Daredevil’s release date not quite the Marvel vs. DC matchup they’ve been waiting for. The two comic book juggernauts’ properties have never gone head to head in mainstream entertainment — their respective movie releases will be dancing around each other for the next few years. And fans have been waiting for the two to go head to head.

But Daredevil vs. Batman v. Superman was never going to be a one-or-another type of situation. Even if they premiered on the same day, there would be nothing to stop people from binging Daredevil, then capping it with a showing of Batman v Superman. And in that sense, the true winners aren’t Marvel and Netflix or DC and Warner Bros. — they’re the fans.
