Daredevil: The Thread Without Fear

That was good, until Spider-man revealed himself in the Civil War Arc.
(I bet he's secretly afraid of spiders.)
Scarecrow will be quoted as saying , " Your much better than this other guy I fight. I am glad you do not live in my city. "
Which they very quickly undid, as we all know. Spidey outing himself simply breaks the character, and....no, will-not-revisit-that-argument.
I still think it works with Daredevil, though. Takes balls to just say 'I"m not him," even though everyone knows you are. And if Daredevil has anything, it's a pair.
Daredevil already has a villain in his rogue's gallery that's basically a carbon copy of Scarecrow. His name is Mr. Fear and he was featured prominently in the arc in which Milla Donovan goes insane. The only difference between Mr. Fear and Scarecrow is the costume. Both use chemicals to cause fear and paranoia.
That arc is among the darkest DD arcs I've read, and I'd say it is the most recent event in the comic to have completely decimated Matt's life. (Again.)
I agree with this statement. Scarecrow has always been kinda lame. Never ever a first tier bad guy.
So you still need to play Batman: Arkham Asylum then?
There was a Nightwing issue in Dixon's issue that was really good, where Dick got gassed and had this terrible hallucination where he was married to Donna in a loveless marriage in a run down house and dead end job, and lived next door to Bruce and Selina who had this fantastic house and cars, and also lived next door to Penguin (who was sitting in a kiddie pool with ice in it) and Poison Ivy (who was gardening). And Dick comes home early to find Donna cheating on him with Roy (or it could have been Bruce, can't remember).
It's never so much Scarecrow being a good villain it's the response to his gas that is always interesting.
With Mr. Fear they never did that with his gas until recently (as in Brubaker's arc).
Mr. Fear had that story in Kelly's run about setting Karen up for murder, and then that arc in Brubaker's DD that went on for too long (and issue #100 was just a fighting off the gas issue). That's pretty much all there is to Mr. Fear off the top of my head.
i think you're right when you say it's primarily the reaction to scarecrow's gas that's interesting in a batman story. even in arkham asylum, it was all the crazy shit that went down when you were high that was so memorable. once you actually fight it off, well, spoilers ahead, but it doesn't go so great for scarecrow.
fear had a whole completely awesome plan to totally fuck with matt, and it completely works. he totally screws matt over so bad it's practically hilarious. any time a villain executes a revenge plan so successfully, it's pretty badass.
And there really has been nothing big with him outside of that Brubaker arc. I think he did something with fear gas on Gladiator earlier in Denny O'Neil's run, he was nowhere in Nocenti's run that I can remember, I think he showed up in Chichester's run as a joke (there was a DD arc where villains try and steal used fry grease like in that Simpsons episode, not kidding.)
one day, servo. one day you laugh now, but one day when I have ousted you from your first tier throne, I will be the one laughing!
It will be much like this: :rotate: Hahaha! :rotate:
That is not always true. Change sometimes happens slowly over time.
who
cares
Does every villain need to be a Joker, constantly challenging the hero to push himself further and further to save the day, breaking new ground with how fucking diabolical they are? Does every hero need to be the Fantastic Four, able to fuck up Galactus's shit before breakfast?
No
No they don't
Daredevil works best as a guy on the street, kicking ass and taking names. That's it! You know what he's going to do with an army of ninja? Kick more ass and take the same number of names!
exactly
Exactly. It's why you can see What Ifs? like "What if Aunt May was a Herald of Galactus?"
It's a novel concept, but they already have enough problems balancing the god like characters they do have. Making every hero stronger to be more "first tier" or "mainstream" or whatever dumb idea you want to call it doesn't solve problems, it creates them.
I think Daredevil would work better as a part of cosmic Marvel. He should join the Shiiar Imperial Guard or at least the Guardians of the Galaxy. A fight between Daredevil and Gladiator would be great or to see Matt get possessed by the Phoenix Force would work too.
Did he still retain his normal powers?
That's basically exactly what happened in Justice Society when Dr. Mid-Nite had his blindness cured by Gog.

According to the movie, he can almost see with his sonar.
I prefer the comic book version myself.
I think it was Marvel Knights
have you ever read a daredevil comic?
-I base this solely off the assumption that his remaining senses are written as being so good they're ridiculous.
--I haven't read a Daredevil comic in a looong time.
