Marvel Studios has certainly embraced the small screen, with "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D", "Agent Carter" and many more superhero-based TV shows lined up in the future. On of these upcoming shows includes Marvel's "Daredevil" that features a blind lawyer who becomes a vigilante known as Daredevil at night.

Netflix will release 13 episodes of the first season on April 10, so prepare to binge-watch this one. While little is known about what aspect of the superhero the TV show will deal with, the show's executive producer Steve S. DeKnight and directors Jeph Loeb and Adam Kane dropped many hints during last year's Comic-Con in New York.

TVGuide reports that the show won't just focus on his vigilante persona but leave room for ample courtroom drama. Actor Charlie Cox teased, "I think it's so great to read a Daredevil novel and be so thrilled by a courtroom scene in a graphic novel. I love that and we've got some stuff coming up that you guys might like that's related."

The show will also utilize Netflix's binge-watching model rather than go the conventional route of leaving cliffhangers at the end of every episode. The show will seem like a 13-hour long movie rather than a TV show infused with cliffhangers. Comic book fans also know that Daredevil often experiences an identity crisis between his crime-fighting alter ego and his lawyer persona. During such crises, viewers should expect a heavy dose of flashbacks that feature his father, Jack.

Breathe Cast reports that the first three episodes are titled "Into the Ring", "Cut Man" and "Rabbit in a Snow Storm". Since the executive producer of Marvel's "Daredevil" also happens to be the executive producer of Marvel's "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D" expect a cross-over between the two shows during the season. Director Loeb also confirmed this when he was asked of about a crossover, saying, "I think, you know, it's all connected, man."
