Standing infront of the Crossbow...

The Magician stands, chained, in front of a crossbow....the candle is burning the rope...

He has to free himself from the chains...before the rope burns through and fires the deadly bolt towards his heart...

I believe it is due to his superior sense's...his mindoggling brain that makes him break free of the chains and just avoid the bolt, as the rope burns through and fires towards his heart...


( 'cept that bloke who actually got shot with the bolt...i dont think his sense's were quick enough that day...)

Hurrah for people with superior sense's and agility...


DB

Yeh...

Right...

I think this counts as disclosure and should be reported.

I know for a fact that Daredevil performed an even more impressive feat back in the early 90s when he caught, with his hands, three arrows fired directly and simultaneously at his chest by a ninja assassin. This was ENTIRELY due to his superior senses and reflexes. Besides that, the artwork was way cool.

Yes..... and in the film he caught a load of glass shards...even though he was blind...

DareDevil reminds me, of me...Totally...i look upto his morals and ideals...

'cept i aint blind...and i have no heightened senses..don't have a red leather suit...and didn't have a boxer as a father...

Plus, i am drunk most days of the week...

See, De_Bunk, this is why you're in reality a creduloid; you don't check your facts:

Bullseye caught the glass shards.

Daredevil dodged them with a series of reverse handsprings.

Because Bullseye couldn't be bothered to throw any below chest level.

Fair enough, DB.

To be honest, I picture you more as the Punisher type than Daredevil anyway.

Garrette...

In your version did they include the scene where a "complete drunk" is crossing the street, and DareDevil's cane just misses him...after Bullseye threw it..

Geez...you sure do get censored versions in the U.S...

Those wacky UK censors...

They digitally clothed her in the UK version...

Dammit...

But i bet the US version didn't have the " Mating Snow Leopards" scene in it....
