** WMG: He reports residual pain from the chemical exposure that rendered him blind. Obviously there was some neurological "damage" that affected his senses, easy to report that it's causing him chronic pain and get painkillers. By doctor and pharmacist shopping, he could double up on scripts. Alternatively, he's obviously in touch with a good number of criminals (in most incarnations he's at least a part-time defense attorney, not to mention the criminal informants and such he encounters at his night job) and could score illegal painkillers.

* Murdock takes (a lot of) painkillers, presumably because he's nothing more than a BadassNormal with heightened senses and extensive combat training, and being in fights against murderous psychos might make a person sore in the morning. How does he, posing as a blind lawyer who's just a regular guy, explain the extensive scars and such to his physician (or whoever prescribed him the painkillers)?

Or did the scriptwriter just get caught up in EvilIsCool and not stop to think about the consequences?

** This along with the confusion about what makes Bullseye so dangerous is what bothers me about this movie; you have to know too much about the character as he is not properly developed during the movie itself. Bullsete IS a trained assassin, who just happens to have a downright superhuman ability to pinpoint throw things, hence his name. He NEVER misses and it's suspected that he can't even miss on purpose, but that's not the only way he kills people-- it's just his favorite since he derives actual physical pleasure from doing it (he is crazy after all). Daredevil is just a notch below but can also predict the trajectory of whatever missile Bullseye is throwing and "makes him miss." Never shown in the movie itself, however; whenever they confront each other, it gets down to physical fights that usually end up in a draw. In fact, comic-book Bullseye chose Daredevil as a nemesis precisely because of this, and would replace Hawkeye as a Dark Avenger because even though he is not an archer, he can equal Hawkeye's unerring aim. "Why didn't he kill the priest?" He would be the only witness to the fact that Bullseye was to kill Daredevil with his skills alone, and he's a psychotic sociopath who's full of himself.

* Why did Murdock make such a big deal out of the fact that he, apparently, could sense that Elektra was very attractive? Do blind people normally care about looks when seeking a partner? It might be logically fallacious, but one might think that being blind would make a person almost completely apathetic to how a desired partner looks, at least from the neck up (you know, as long as they're not [[TheElephantMan an Elephant Woman]]).
**** The bullseye imprint on his forehead is indeed covered completely by a hat. But just before he kills the bar patron, he removes it, and everyone in the bar should have been perfectly capable of seeing it, unless Matt Murdock wasn't the only blind character in this film.

* Questions that were running through my head while watching this movie (other than "WHYYY?"): movie: Matt's superpower is massively heightened senses of hearing, smell, touch and taste. How does this translate into the ability to perform ridiculous feats of acrobatics and martial arts without any prior training in order to scare away the school bullies? And if Matt's ears are so sensitive that he has to sleep in a sensory deprivation tank and a passing train incapacitates him, how come he blasts Nickelback at full volume while he's getting ready for work? And why is it that he can detect minute changes in temperature and hear police radios blocks away, and yet he has to bang a railing in order to determine whereabouts on an empty subway platform his mark is hiding? Should he be able to hear the guy's heartbeat? Inconsistency, much? And why does Matt have to loudly display his weakness by screaming and clutching his head at every single loud noise?

* This troper is wondering where did Matt Murdock get all of his supplies? He has a secret room in his apartment filled with multiple costumes and weapons. Did he make them all himself? Also, how did he get a sensory deprivation tank? That must have cost a great deal of money to buy and install, and considering how many pro-bono law cases he takes, Matt may not have a lot of cash. Oh, well, {{MST3K Mantra}}...

** His dad was a prize winning boxer who won a championship after a long winning streak. Its possible his dad got quite a bit of money that was made into a trust fund for him, and along with life insurance, he probably made enough money to support a modest living and his night time activities.

* Elektra spends the movie fully and properly dressed. I find this rather improbable, given that she has the cognitive abilities of a rock with a head injury. Being that she plainly sees Bullseye kill her father(And even if she hadn't, the fact that he was killed by a flying baton implies that the guy who's entire schtick is throwing things at people *probably* had something to do with it...), her decision to try and take revenge on Daredevil for the whole thing paints her as someone who really shouldn't be able to leave the house without wearing her underwear on her head and her shoes on her ears. What I'm saying is, the movie doesn't even acknowledge the mind-boggling stupidity of this logic. Daredevil doesn't even try to explain why her trying to kill him is completely outlandish. The movie treats it like a logical and completely believable misunderstanding.

*** It's possible that the only reason he gave the priest a chance to escape was because of upbringing. It's possible that he was raised to show at least some deference to Catholic priests, and even if he has grown up to be an AxeCrazy killer, old habits die hard.

** About Bullseye showing no remorse about killing innocent people, they may had been innocent, but the first guy he kills refused to honor a bet. Bullseye didn't cheat the dart game, he is just that good. The old lady on the plane was being a bother (realistically, a sane person might have wanted to kill her, but wouldn't because of moral constraints Bullseye doesn't have) and he has the skill to make it look like an accident; and the final two he kills on screen were: a target he was hired to kill; his job; and an opponent on a similar level as him. The priest was no threat to him.

** This along with the confusion about what makes Bullseye so dangerous is what bothers me about this movie; you have to know too much about the character as he is not properly developed during the movie itself. Bullsete IS a trained assassin, who just happens to have a downright superhuman ability to pinpoint throw things, hence his name. He NEVER misses, it's suspected that he CANNOT miss even on purpose, but that's not th eonly way he kills people, just his favorite since he derives actual physical pleasure from doing it (he is crazy after all). Daredevil is just a notch below but can also predict the trajectory of whatever missile Bullseye is throwing so "he makes him miss". Never shown in th emovie itself, when they confront each other, it gets down to physical fights that usually end up in a draw. In fact, comic book Bullseye chose DD as a nemesis precisely because of this, and would replace Hawkeye as a dark avenger beause even tough he is not an archer he can emulate Hawkeye's unerring aim. Why he didn't kill the priest? He would be the only witness to the fact Bullseye was to kill DD with his skills alone, he's a psycho and sociopath and full of himself.

** DD's senses are enhanced to the point where he can read people and predict their actions and they're strong enough to factor into his reflexes. Regarding his sensitivity to sound, it depends on the situation. Even people with normal hearing can have trouble sleeping if theres a tap dripping in the house, imagine that amplified. Regarding him blasting music comfortably while being incapacitated by the sound of a train, music is music and generally people can tolerate loud music more than other loud noises. He also needs the loud music to 'see' what hes doing in the morning, so he has to put up with it. He can detect minute changes in temperature because his sense of touch is amplified, he can hear a police radio from a long distance because his hearing is amplified. However, if hes in an empty hallway with no noise he has to bang on something so he can follow the vibrations and get a clear reading of the room (sounds from blocks away, though audible to him, wouldn't be strong enough to paint a clear picture of his surroundings). And he grabs yells because hes in pain and he grabs his head to cover his ears.
