In 2003, Colin Farrell portrayed the villain Bullseye in the comic book film Daredevil, which starred Ben Affleck in the title role as a blind lawyer who is also a vigilante superhero. Farrell showed that he could play a tough, charismatic villain who's hard to beat, and gives Daredevil a couple of good battles. Farrell's upcoming role as Oswald Cobblepot will be different from Bullseye but is likely an inspiration because Oswald may also have tricks up his sleeve against Batman, another heroic vigilante with fear.
