Alrighty guys, I'm gonna pitch you guys my Daredevil movie. Hope you guys enjoy:

Aside from Spider-Man, there hasn't been any established street-level heroes/vigilantes in this universe. A team of mutants to Earth's Mightiest Heroes, who take on bigger threats, there isn't really anyone who can take on the smaller threats. Think Green Arrow in the earlier episodes of Justice League Unlimited; all he wants to do is protect the little guy. In comes Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer. As a boy he was hit in the eyes with chemicals and lost his sight. Even though Matt became blind, he could now hear nearly everything.

While super soldiers, demigods, mutants, and more take on the large threats, the streets of New York City are slowly being taken over by Wilson Fisk, a crime lord. Matt notices this and he knows that he needs to keep his city safe. Thanks to a mysterious mentor from his childhood, Stick, Matt uses his heightened senses and martial arts to become the vigilante known as Daredevil. Not only does Matt have to balance two identities, but he now has to attempt and hide his secret from those he cares about most. And when he gets into Fisk's crosshairs, Matt has to risk it all to defeat the crime lord and save Hell's Kitchen.

Matt obviously already has his powers, but how he became blind/how he learned martial arts will be briefly touched upon. How Matt was blinded, Jack Murdock's death, and Stick training Matt will all be shown via flashbacks.

The main villain will be Kingpin. Aside from the Daredevil VS Kingpin plot, there'll be a subplot featuring Matt hiding his new secret identity from his best friend Foggy Nelson.

I obviously will make references to the larger MCU, maybe a Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson, She-Hulk or a Tony Stark cameo, but there won't be a whole lot. Like any other film this will set up for future installments of the Daredevil franchise, so a post-credits scene will set up a sequel featuring Elektra.

And that's my pitch! I hope you guys like it. Please feel free to reply with any questions, comments, critisms, ideas, etc..
