Having only read one issue in the mid 1980's, I was just curious what it is about the Daredevil character or books you find appealing? Does he offer anything unique that can't be satisfied by characters like Batman?
Why do you like Daredevil?
I think Matt offers a more grounded story than does Bruce. Also he's blind which is one of the coolest things about him. Also I think Matt is much more human than Bruce. Bruce is ultra disciplined and ultra task-oriented whereas Matt is more than willing to have involved relationships with a host of folks like his many girlfriends and his close friends in the hero community.
Daredevil has some of the best story arcs in all of comicdom. "Born Again" is a masterpiece. The thing that Daredevil offers that Batman doesn't is that he isn't over used.
Well when you're as popular as the goddamn Batman. You get a lot of face time.
I started buying Daredevil in the '70's, when Gil Kane was illustrating the book, and that was the main reason I bought the book originally. But I really started to like Matt Murdock a lot, and his supporting cast, which was more fully developed than Batman's at the time. Over the years Daredevil has had some of the most interesting cast of non-costumed characters than Batman, and been through more hellish experiences than the caped crusader. Plus the fact that DD has had some of the best writers in the business for over 30 years.
I like Daredevil because he's a simple type of guy. He's often compared to Batman, and I think Matthew is what Bruce would be like if he was a more underdog type of person. Matt doesn't have the best resources, or is the most martially adept guy on the entire planet(Even though he's (pretty sweet), but he still tries to do the best with what he's got. He has a small neighborhood he protects, and he's put all his effort into fixing it bit by bit. I truly admire the man's dedication to his city, and like Milla Donovan noted to Ben Urich during Bendis' Daredevil run in the King of Hell's Kitchen arc, Hell's Kitchen's has constantly have Matthew horrible experiences like watching his father die in front of him, lose his girlfriend Karen Page, etc. and just craps on him in general, but he still gives the city his love, strength, and voice when it is in need. He's just a giving, emotional man whom has the put the needs of other's over his own.
You got to respect a man like that.

The same could be asked about batman who has probably the most generic hero background ever...there is no right or wrong reason to like a character you just simply...like them
Daredevil is about A Man dedicated to protecting his city for the love, despite the pain the city throws back at him.
Batman is about a man dedicated to protecting his city as a duty. the pain the city givs him amplifies his dedication.
very different tones, I like them both because they are so different, Im really annoyed with how many times I have to see people compare the two, "because they are soo similar" they aren't
DD is a Man of Love, crippled multiple times by his city who perseveres for good.
Bats is a Man of Pain and Brooding, emotionally injured who seeks vengeance against crime itself.
Superhuman vs human
Lawyer vs rich playboy
these two are so very disimilar. And I like them both.
I don't old sport.
BASTARD!

Cause his blind
Fetish,eh? :D
Wicked origin of sacrifice. He is the superhero nobody envies. His powers are wicked cool with dodging bullets and fighting by sensing everything around creates such a cool looking fight scene. The way he fights is awesome as well and can fight with the best of them by sensing weak points in the toughest baddies. There really is a ton of stuff I like with his character, willpower, no fear.
And it's wicked seeing martial arts like that with the staff, clubs, grapple, pressure points master, and high flying agility
He's not as overblown as Batman, in terms of universes and when I want a gritty story I'll turn to him more.
I like my Bat a little more campy
I think the real question would be why don't you like Daredevil, aside from the awful movie I haven't heard anyone say they dislike the character.
