He probably does like Daredevil, but I remember reading that he was a huge fan of Batman and he thought playing Daredevil was a close second.

Makes sense. Still one of the big complaints of the season of Oliver's badass decay. Anarky was so chaotic he'd make Oliver's fighting style sloppy too. I know they delved into her origins rather than keeping her as mysterious old woman on Daredevil. It fits that she's more significant in Iron Fist lore considering where she's from. I see where you're coming from with the whitewashing. Ah but that's the thing, another point of critique was they've severely overused the "rich white guy going missing and coming back after being trained in skills that led them to be a superhero" plot as of the past decade. Nolan's Bruce Wayne, Arrow's Oliver Queen, and Doctor Strange all had pretty much the same origin story as that.

Or just have Jack Nicholson or Mark Hammil do their rendition of the classic Joker. Just looks at the reception every time Mark shows up on The Flash to do his Trickster. I really liked The Batman version of Barbara Gordon, her introduction made the show much livelier and exciting. They seemed to have Barbara stand in for Harley Quinn as Ivy's best friend, with Ivy herself being far younger. They do mix up Batman lore quite a bit, while keeping it interesting. They also had that Clock King guy in one episode who could reverse time. Gotham does the Batman lore shuffling too, but often not as successfully. Penguin and Riddler being a gay couple was really out of left field. That was literally the only reason they did that, because her pheromones would be too inappropriate to do for a little girl. If that's the case they should have just cast a teenager/young adult to play Ivy to begin with.
