Aside from the Kingpin thing (which, of course, I can fall back on if you didn't want me using the character), the series was going to be relatively self-contained anyway, so making it a prequel won't effect my original vision. And making him act more psychopathic is fine too.

Don't worry about it! I just want to be on the same page with everybody. Yeah, kind of like DD Season 2, that's a good analogy.

You can use Kingpin if you want actually, my only request though is that he not be a huge presence in your series. I think it would be cool if he was sort of a Madame Gao like figure in your series. In the way that he would work more in the shadows instead of being an upfront threat, saving all that for the Daredevil 3, since Daredevil: The Man Without Fear will have Mr. Fear and The Owl as it's villains.

I was planning on casting Kevin Durand as Wilson Fisk BTW if you decide to do it. Yeah, I only wanted to use Kingpin for an episode or two, and it would only be to move the story forward and world-building to a certain extent (to set up this huge threat for the final Daredevil movie, just showing "viewers" how big he is in New York City's undergrond crime ring, both physically and metaphorically). I also like the Kevin Durand casting!

And I like your idea, EM. It kind of gives him a series to transform from a happy-ish family man to this murder machine that we know and love from the comics. It's perfect character development and, like Blizzard said, blends perfectly with the whole Heroes for Hire prequel idea.

I should have a few other character ideas/casting throughout tonight and tomorrow that I'll share for approval and opinions.
