Daredevil (2003) / Elektra (2005)

If you discount old hornhead's guest appearance in the second Hulk TV movie, then this is his first real appearance. Certainly it's his first try at headlining, and he does a pretty good job. Thankfully the 21st century has largely seen attempts to do reasonably faithful adaptions of comic characters for the big screen, and its an attitude that pays dividends (but sadly leaves me without kitsch new characters to cover for this site). Ben Affleck played the lead role, and the movie has done so well that not only is a second outing planned, but so is a spin-off for love interest Elektra.
