Daredevil (2003)

Daredevil is arguably the most high-profile comic book movie to have ever completely flopped critically – not least because of its all-star cast.

With Ben Affleck in the lead role – a role that nearly destroyed his career – he was supposedly ably supported by the likes of Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Colin Farrell as Bullseye, Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, Jon Favreau as Foggy Nelson and Joe Pantoliano as Ben Ulrich, but it didn’t work out that way.

The movie was terrible and although it made a profit of just over $100 million at the box office, it received a critical panning and is the main reason that Affleck’s casting as Batman in next year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was met with such a negative reception from fans.

Arguably, the only actor to come away from the move with their reputation intact was the late Michael Clark Duncan – his Kingpin was a shining light in an otherwise dismal offering.
