Daredevil (2003)

other movies sharing the same reality: 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 while far from the best of the Marvel movies, it is a passable effort, if not widely endorsed by fandom. 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 - what works in the movie is usually the bits taken direct from the comics, while the parts that fail are generally the bits changed from the source material. Ben Affleck played the lead role, and while the movie's box office wasn't astounding, it did well enough for a second outing, this time for love interest Elektra.
