This question is mainly for Marvel fans, but the character Daredevil is a superhero/vigilante who’s a lawyer, mainly a defense attorney. I get he’s about upholding justice and helping the little guy, but wouldn’t it make more sense for the character to be a prosecutor or a civil rights attorney rather than a defense attorney?
I get not everyone is guilty, and a lot of people get screwed over, but let’s be honest: most of the time, defense attorneys defend people who are, more often than not, guilty of crimes. If Matt’s whole character is about justice, wouldn’t it make more sense for him to be a prosecutor, use his hearing to decide if the person is guilty or not, and achieve justice that way? Or become a civil rights attorney?
A superhero that beats the shit out of a criminal, hands them to the cops, goes in as his day job to prosecute them might as well be “the man with no chill”
I mean the Punisher is basically that except he skips a few steps
That might actually work for a chaotic storyline with an antihero version of Two-Face. The dichotomous nature is baked into the character, maybe even too rigidly
