Spider-Man - Daredevil Vs. Spider-Man -Animated Series-

Product Description Two legendary superheroes collide as Daredevil faces Spider-Man in an all-out fight for justice. Dwelling in a world of eternal darkness, Attorney Matt Murdock defends Peter Parker by day, but at night he takes to the streets, battling anyone in his path as he searches for truth ... and revenge. Discover the origin of Daredevil, "The Man Without Fear," and witness the thrills as he and the Webslinger ultimately team up to take down their supreme nemesis, The Kingpin. It's an animated, epic clash you'll want to experience over and over again! Amazon.com Spider-Man vs. Daredevil isn't a question of vs. for very long, as they soon get over their initial misunderstandings and team up to battle the Kingpin. It parallels the original Marvel comics on which the story is based, which also saw the corpulent crime lord becoming the nemesis of both heroes. Several more of their arch-foes, such as the Chameleon, also put in appearances in a plot that revolves around Peter Parker accepting a job offer from philanthropist Wilson Fiske, not realizing that Fiske is in fact... but that would be telling. Suffice to say that Daredevil has at least some of the answers. This whole generation of Marvel animations, which began with the groundbreaking X-Men series, is of an extraordinarily high quality. Their visual style is influenced by the best of the comics' artists, the protagonists are properly fleshed out, and--proving that cartoons don't have to be dumb--the plots and story arcs often have the kind of sophistication you'd expect from the best kind of adventure novel. This example is typically faultless in execution and, unlike most Saturday-morning fodder, bears repeated viewing. --Roger Thomas Additional Features Spider-Man vs. Daredevil's DVD has a generous collection of extras, including a Daredevil/Fantastic Four crossover episode, a wonderful 1966 Kingpin episode from the original Spidey animated series ("Spider-Man, Spider- Man, does whatever a spider can"), and reams of interview material with creator Stan Lee. --Roger Thomas
