10 Guidelines for Making a Superhero Movie - something the makers of Daredevil really should have looked at.

1. Don't hire Ben Affleck as the lead.

2. Don't make him blind - he just looks a little bit disabled with cloudy, crossed eyes.

3. Don't hire Jennifer Garner as the female lead.

4. Don't throw in a weird, almost matrix-like fight scene as a 'romantic' interaction between the two main characters.

5. Don't hire Ben Affleck as the lead.

6. Don't put a piss poor background story about the superhero's dad - who was a loser, but a good guy at heart - getting killed by an underworld kingpin.

7. Don't insert a sickening Hollywood sex scene between Affleck and Garner. No, really, please don't.

8. Don't insert a Catholic priest with an Irish accent. It's just too convenient.

9. Don't use Evanescence on the soundtrack.

10. Don't hire Ben Affleck as the lead.

I think not hiring Ben Affleck features pretty prominently on the 10 Things Not to do When Making a Good Movie. Full stop.

I agree - possibly the lamest superhero movie ever made.

Any movie with a skin tight red leather outfit can't be all bad! :)

Well common Dave, it's still Hollywood [American] Superhero Movies, you can't expect anything of substance from them really...
