Nicolas Cage movies can be a thrill ride of the highest order, but sometimes even he has to take a step back when going up against Nolan.
Daredevil should be called Batman
Nicolas Cage has always had a soft spot for devils and tragedies. The actor's work has always deviated far from the usual Hollywood recipe, often trespassing into territories that, for lack of a better word, can only be described as weird. Ironically, Cage built a reputation for his eccentricities, which made his roles work spectacularly to his advantage.
Over the years, Cage has established himself as an incorrigible figure on the fringes of Hollywood, an A-lister thanks to his dramatic work and yet ridiculously enough to be remembered more for his role in the 27% rated Ghost Rider than the '97. % rated Pig. It is his work in expanding the comic book fantasy that makes him a living legend to this day.
Nicola Coppola, nephew of The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, grew up an avid Marvel comic fan, changing his last name after being inspired by the superhero Luke Cage. As such, when Marvel came calling, he wasn't the one to turn down the role of the devil on a motorcycle.
