Already established in composite character and that trope works better for Matt.


* BreakoutCharacter: Like in the comics, Fox attempted to do the same with their film adaptations by having Elektra star in her own film, while also allowing them to capitalize on Jennifer Garner's then recent star power. However, this ended up a poor attempt to make the Breakout Character of the comics into one from a film adaptation, as her movie caused all plans for sequels to be cancelled and the rights to Daredevil and all related characters, Elektra included, reverted back to Marvel.

* LogicalWeakness: He is very strong and deceptively nimble, but he still relies on his sight to fight, unlike Daredevil.

Added DiffLines:

* RetCanon: Marvel would take the look of Bullseye from this movie and use it in various books, including the more adult Max comics. However, he's redesigned as to avoid using Colin Farrell's likeness, such as not using the facial hair.

* StockNinjaWeaponry: Her primary weapon for training and in her fights with Daredevil and Bullseye are a pair of sai.
