You guys should do an episode where you cover the original origins of the most popular characters. Since they’ll be fairly short you could lump them together into one episode.

It makes all the sense in the world that Batman can’t beat Kingpin, especially being unfamiliar with his physically capabilities. Batman has lost to less capable foes under the same circumstances. Even Captain America was surprised when he attacked Kingpin and found himself getting the worst of it. As for Dr Octopus, there was a Daredevil issue where fought and Daredevil was shaken up how far at of his depth he was. He even had to play dead to keep from getting killed. I guess that could kinda sorta explain away Doc Ock being part of his fear hallucinations. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@GitShiddy]

This book feels frustrating from this episode. Alan Grant is a good writer, bit forgotten, but good. And the idea of Daredevil vs Scarecrow is solid but...why? Why is it this? Why is it a gang war with the Kingpin? Surely The Owl would be a smarter pick & The Owl sucks! But you can extract themes there, Batman & Kingpin is nothing. Dammit... just have Bullseye trying to kill Gordon & Joker taking offense to it with the heroes trying to keep those lunatics from destroying a City in their spat it's not hard. Court of Owls moving in on New York, Talons vs Hand Ninjas, Punisher becomes a Talon, Daredevil must save Punisher & Hell's Kitchen. There, two better crossovers then these two.
