That is what i saw from Ben Affleck himself in an interview, he said him and Matt Damon loved those Daredevil comics.

Well they were trying to make Anarky into some sort of threat. The thing that has always made him dangerous to Batman is that he can rally the people to his cause. That was the dangerous part about him. Yeah Madame Gao is from Iron Fist comics. They of course explore that and she takes advantage of Danny by just making him not able to trust anyone. Then he trusts the wrong people. Also that superhero origin has been done before, but that was the thing. They took it from the Doctor Strange books to do it. It was always done that way. The only difference is that he was abused as well as trained at Kun Lun.

Frankly i would prefer an old amazing Joker to a young tatoo weirdo. Actually the guy who could control time never was called the Clock King. He was just a normal guy down on his luck and turned to crime because of one bad decision. However he corrected his mistake because of his son. Now he works as Batman's repair guy for the grandfather clock in Wayne Manor. Most of the time they do it well. It is just that they underuse characters and have the occasional plot like Penguin being attracted to Nygma. (They were never a gay couple) Well then they couldn't tell the story of Ivy and Selina when they were little. It is a shame too because Clare Foley is a really good actress and does the part of Ivy well and they just recast her because the new one is hot. Fair enough. Could still be both though.

I kind of liked Arrow's Anarky on how chaotic he was, even if he's vastly different from the unorthodox philosopher from the comics. Iron Fist shows just how dangerous Gao is when she's at the top of the hierarchy away from Fisk. She's very well the Netflix overarching villain like Thanos is for MCU as a whole. They still could have changed the show up a bit to repeat the cliche of live action superhero origins.

Yeah I know, Francis Grey. But he's so similar to the Clock King, where he owned a clock store and his time gimmick. He might as well be the show's version of Clock King. The trivia of his page on Batman wiki actually makes the comparison to Clock King.

They more or less are a couple, just weren't in a relationship. Corey even dubbed them with the shipname Nygmobblepot. Penguin was never gay in the comics, he was a bit of a pimp there who loved young girls. Even so, they had no idea what they were doing with Kid Ivy and the Selina-Ivy plot went nowhere. Despite being promoted, she was barely ever used aside from trolling Barbara into thinking Jim was cheating on her (which he later was).
