Only thing confirmed is that he gets the suit. We have no idea when or how. Considering the nature of dropping a whole series at once I doubt we'll find out until someone either spoils it or you find out by watching yourself.

I do! I read a trade and it weren't half bad.

My Foolkiller knowledge begins and ends with his 1990 rookie card,
Cool, I recently bought book one of the Bendis Maleev Ultimate collection. Look forward to seeing them in that or the next volume.

I'm pretty sure we're never getting Foolkiller in anything more than a villain of the week episode at best.

You leave Top Cow alone!
Witchblade was pretty bad ass for a TV adaptation of superhero comics considering when it was made.I wouldn't mind modern Darkness series either.

I never watched the show but I recall bein disappointed in the costume! That would have been fun to see on daytime TV! Shame what happened to the actress and her alcoholism.
I remember the good old days of Top Cow. Witchblade and Darkness, then Fathom. Would love a good Fathom series or movie, but I doubt it'll ever happen. RIP Michael Tuner. 
JMS almost got a Rising Stars movie off the ground too, but in typical JMS fashion, the entire thing fell apart, he got mad, demanded Top Cow return the rights to him or something and cease all "unauthorized" productions, and held the remaining issues' scripts hostage. That must have burned a bunch of bridges. Lol.

So him and Punisher have something in common.
Post B5 JMS ruins everything he touches. I still hate how he did The Twelve.I remember the good old days of Top Cow. Witchblade and Darkness, then Fathom. Would love a good Fathom series or movie, but I doubt it'll ever happen. RIP Michael Tuner.

I don't really agree. I liked Rising Stars for the most part, even though it would have been way better with more consistent art. Changing artists all the time for a series with such a huge cast is just distracting. Midnight Nation was pretty good. Book of Lost Souls was pretty much Midnight Nation Mk2, and The Twelve was Rising Stars Mk2 w/ Marvel Golden Age characters. I enjoyed both of them too. It's fair to say that JMS tends to like using dark and edgy plot elements to make social commentary, especially in his comics, but for the most part it works for the writing he is going for. As long as we're not talking about Sins Past... lol.
He can still do quality stuff when he wants to, keyword is WHEN. The Twelve shipped on geological time.

In an aquarium fighting a black guy?
I kid, I kid.
The best interpretation of Punisher to slot into the MCU would be a hybrid of Rucka/Edmondson and throw in some Mike Baron. Bit lighter, bit more heroic, still tragic, but not completely disconnected from the human race. He's not so much a hollow burned out shell of a human being that kills to feel alive as he is a byronic hero doing his best and knowing he'll ultimately fail... but until he does, he's got a job to do.
And let's get some Big Boss Castle in here.
I agree gimmie that Rucka run

Every time I go look in this thread, there's nothing about my beloved Daredevil.
I just want a trailer. Wonder when we'll get it.
I bet next month.

The Superb Owl.
Man do I miss Jessica.
The first 10 or so issues of Daredevil back in the day,his outfit was mostly yellow.
I don't think they have said that he will get it towards the end. They have just said he will start out in the black suit but that will also get to don a red costume.

Some dude wrote an editorial on how the Punisher could be incorporated into the MCU:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/HulkstaTheatre/news/?a=113504#.VLRI5pvFiLk.facebook
Some decent points. Having him be referred to as a sinister urban legend through Phase 1 of the Netflix series would be a cool way to reference him without having show up until Phase 2 and build up that legend.
And honestly, I wouldn't mind if for the first iteration of the Punisher, they used the Marvel Noir variation with the creepy executioner hood before he gets his battle gear with the skull on the chest and ditches the mask.

Current run Punisher still uses the mask on occasion.
It's not super frequent though.

Yeah, I know. I'm reading the current run. I do love the mask. I think the Noir version just looks a bit creepier cause you can't see his eyes. Just black pits.
The mask would work though cause he could just slip it on and off with ease, making a suited nightclub shootout a breeze.
winkwink
But ultimately yeah, he'd eventually need his full battle outfit.

Honestly, I think the mask would work far better for a fresh Punisher than the current Frank Castle. In the current series, it's more plausible deniability if anything.
Link??
Not up yet but will post asap
I don't think it was the motion poster released a couple days ago but it might have been

That was, sadly, enough to get me very excited. This can't come soon enough.

It's canon and it's his origins.

hells kitchen isn't even dangerous at all in 2015. Hell NYC isn't even dangerous
There also aren't any fucking aliens that invaded NYC! What the hell!
And that matters why? This is television/film.
The best way to view it is that when the Chitauri attacked, Hells Kitchen got fucked up. And guys like Fisk took advantage of that.
Probably if you're white and affluent. Can't say the same about non whites.

I think that's a pretty inane comparison - something that's blatantly and purely fantasy is pretty different from something that's just as removed from reality but claims to be doing so in the service of gritty realism.
Fortunately, DeKnight has strongly implied that there'll be an in-universe explanation for why MCU HK is so anachronistic.

He's too busy getting his ass kicked and being captured over and over in the new run to get his mask on.
If they do do a Punisher show they should get the guy who directed John Wick to run it, dude knows how to shoot some awesome shootouts.

Batman's "no-kill" method probably results in a lot of paralysis and death from shock/sustained injuries. Realism is never really a thing.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!
The two directors are also producing Keanu's new action series, 'Rain'. God, I'd love it if they headed up a Punisher series.
I'm betting the Chitauri invasion on New York decimated Hell's Kitchen and turned it into a slum along with the Kingpin.

It'd have been the best action movie of 2014 if Raid 2 didn't exist.

Kingpin profiteers off this by making "cheap affordable housing" which he overcharges for and turns the neighbourhood into his "testing ground" for drugs, racketeering etc.? Yeah, sounds about right.
Talk about realism, no real New York would get back on its feet the way the MCU New York has.
