6) Radar Sense
Daredevil can be a particularly tricky character to adapt, simply because of how one interprets and handles his handicap. That means that the showrunners will have to find clever ways to portray his blindness, and show us Daredevil’s one “super power:” Radar Sense.
The 2003 film starring Ben Affleck portrayed Daredevil’s Radar Sense by showing us how Matt Murdock saw the world, using a sonar-inspired visual effect. The new Daredevil series seems to be taking a simpler approach. In the brief glimpse of Radar Sense that we see in the trailer, the camera focuses only on what Matt is listening to, while the rest of the frame is out of focus. It’s a simple, but effective visual trick, and much cheaper to pull off than Affleck’s sonar sense.
Of course, there could be more visual trickery in store for us when the whole series hits, so we’ll just have to keep our eyes and ears open.
