Some great television series are being produced directly for online streaming services. Netflix has already had a lot of success with the Kevin Spacey political drama “House of Cards” and is working with Marvel Comics on a “Daredevil” series which is expected to be much better than the 2004 flop featuring Ben Affleck in the title role.
When it was announced that Ben Affleck would be the next Batman, we saw how critical comics fans can be about who gets cast for these roles. Fans got excited when they heard that Vincent D’Onofrio (“Law and Order”) has been cast as Wilson Fisk, the gargantuan organized crime boss known also known as The Kingpin.

@Marvel @ProgressCityUSA That isn't a mugshot? Because it looks like a mugshot.

If you’re going to play a crime boss, might as well use a mugshot, right?
“Daredevil” is scheduled to drop in 2015.
