From the Paper:

"Like his predecessor in Hollywood, Spiderman from last summer, Daredevil is a super hero in the Marvel comics universe of New York. Unlike his friend Peter Parker, Matthew Murdock (Ben Affleck) is more nocturnal. His origin tells the story of a child, blinded by an accident, and in return becoming the recipient of supremely heightened senses. Matt is the son of a shady prize fighter, who is connected to the mob, but like all fathers with low self esteem, dreads to imagine his son becoming like him and discourages him from ever picking a fight, even when he is intermittently bullied by peers."
