    Why couldn't Dynamite Entertainment use the title, "Death-Defying Daredevil?"
     
    It's not a title and Matt Murdock and Bart Hill are different characters.

    They most likely have "Daredevil" copyrighted for character use. I'm sure it can be used as a description but not a name.

    Marvel's title is just. "Daredevil."

    It should be fine for them to use, "Death-Defying Daredevil" as a title.

    He is the original and Marvel's version pales in comparison.

    I can agree to disagree. The original is better not only in is visual appearance, but his weapons and he looks to be the stronger of the two.

    Also, he's not blind. Low blow I know.  I just like Bart Hill better.

    A guy who looks like 3-D Man with boomerangs..has a better costume than Matt Murdock? C'mon man....
    Daredevil is blind but he sees better than Hill....that makes him a better hero.He can't see and he's one of the hardest heroes to take down.

    Yes, Hill's costume is better. I like the color, spikes and his weapons.

    That's like saying Hulk's costume is better than Superman's.

    That's not a logical comparsion.  At least Hill's costume isn't one color. Marvel's version is lackluster.

    No..Daredevil's costume is more intricate...Hill is wearing a tu-tone unitard with his mask built into it.Who cares is if Matt's costume is one color..he can see it anyway.

    I believe this is another Captain Marvel situation.  Marvel has trademark for the title Captain Marvel, so DC's book about the original Captain Marvel has to be called "SHAZAM!"  Marvel has trademark on Daredevil, so the book has to be called something else.  I'm sure if they wanted to they could still call him Daredevil inside.  Image is calling him Daredevil inside Savage Dragon.

    I think DC trademarked SHAZAMl.He is not called SHAZAM.Shazam is the name of another DC character.

    " The Death-Defying 'Devil steps up to become a central figure in the continuation of the series. But that's no surprise, given Ross' opinion of this character's impact on comics. "I knew that I would really like doing anything with the Golden Age Dare Devil, because the design is one of the most important in the history of comics," notes Ross. "Steve Ditko's Spider-Man design owes a great debt, let alone Marvel's Daredevil."

    Steve Ditko doesn't owe anyone for anything.Matt Murdock is nothing like Bart Hill..he never has been and he never will be.

    No, he is not called Shazam within the book.  He is still Captain Marvel.  However, the book is called "SHAZAM!" and all the Captain Marvel action figures say "SHAZAM!"  - not Captain Marvel.  Marvel's Captain Marvel books are titled "Captain Marvel" however.  This is the same type of situation.

    Oh well that is true.Marvel comics should have more of a right to have a character named Captain Marvel though.
