I've finished up on the first season of Daredevil and thought it was great. Having seen it and just how dark it's willing to get, they've got me really curious now about how they'll realize the Purple Man in a.k.a. Jessica Jones.

I was guessing they wouldn't go all the way and give him purple skin or hair. I'm actually pleased with how good the purple outfit looks.
I mean, that's basically how it works in the comics anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch.

Daredevil has been renewed for a second season! Wooooo!
And here's a Forbes article that raises some good points about this news, such as questioning the fate of The Defenders crossover among all four shows:

One question that jumps out for me from the article: "Is it possible that Netflix and Marvel are really willing to commit – in the best of cases – to four original Netflix series a year if all the series end up becoming breakout hits?"
Between this and the other planned TV series by ABC (that'll spin from Agents of SHIELD), on top of the movies, I'm starting to wonder if all this will be sustainable.

I'm thinking not. At some point in time, there's going to be over-saturation. I also foresee the same problem that comic books in general have. Convoluted back story and having to have seen a bunch of various media to know what's going on in a story.
I think by the time we hit Infinity War, the public may be done with an interwoven universe. I hope that's not the case, but I can see it happening very easily.

Somehow i doubt that the people who are into these type of shows "abroad" are dependent on TV networks...
Hello, let me introduce you to...me. I live abroad, I'm interested in these shows, and I'm waiting for TV to show them. Have we met?
Assuming everyone outside of the US is a filthy pirate and/or rich enough to buy DVDs (which, usually, don't come out till after it's aired, so....) is pretty, eh, sweeping.
I'm pretty sure that there it's not enough of a population of that type to singlehandedly keep the genre afloat internationally. It is way easier for average movie goer to gain media fatigue when not only are they expected to know backstory from a whole bunch of mediums, but would also have to acquire such things illegally.
Didnt the latest GoT season have more pirated copies then people that actually tuned in? (while breaking records in both)
Granted, a lot of those are just gonna pirate the films too...
....
But of course having each film work on it's own witohut having to watch anything else is still a better idea anyway.
I was excited for HBO GO finally being a standalone product, and was all set to buy it and stop being a dirty pirate, but then they announced that whole apple exclusivity thing.
I don't even own an apple product.
It's a 3 month exclusive
I can pirate a lot in three months.
I think streaming and DVR services have changed the situation. If shows like Daredevil lead into the movies, you can just binge that series over a weekend. Even for seasons currently in progress, you can DVR Agents of Shield every week and gradually get caught up.
It's not like it was during my high school years. It used to be required to have a friend or relative record a show that you'd miss on VHS. Before VHS, you'd have to wait until summer for reruns.

Rosario Dawson been confirmed for season 2 of Daredevil. Additionally, her new deal is set up so that she can appear in any of the other Defender series. (via Comics Alliance)
Makes sense. By making Claire Temple into a nurse, they basically have the MCU version of Night Nurse. She'd be helpful to have around for a team of more street-level heroes.
I hope that poster is fanmade because my God it is ugly as shit.
So the news comes from Latino Review, which means take it with a grain of salt, but apparently Jason Statham is rumored to be in talks to appear in the second season of Daredevil, LR's source saying likely as Bullseye.

Latino Review has a decent track record when it comes to Marvel.

I'd watch it.Leaked Defenders teaser poster:
Am now imagining Richard Pryor's voice exclaiming, "Sweet Mary Mother Christmas!"

That's true, and apparently the talks happened during the press tour for Spy, so I wager if it's true the news will hit other sites/sources soon-ish.
Still better than DC.Leaked Defenders teaser poster:
So if the Statham news was true, it's not anymore.
Jon Bernthal will be arriving in season 2 of Daredevil as the Punisher.
