He has some sort of echo location, which isn't fiction. Blind people can teach themselves this, like bats.
Aha, that explains it. Thanks for the education. Civpilot said:
Watch the whole of season 2 over the weekend (just couldn't stop)
Amazing! Even better than season 1 by some margin.
John Bethnal is incredible as Frank Castle... Just incredible.
Same here, i kept saying to the wife "I'll just watch one more..." Finished watching them about 3.00 am Sunday, and as I was still awake carried on and stayed up for the F1 race.Amazing! Even better than season 1 by some margin.

This (and Deadpool) are how superheroes should be filmed. Some superb fight choreography.
Found it hard to get into Jessica Jones, didn't know much about her character before hand - maybe i'll give another go.

Yes, echo location is a real thing. However DD has all his remaining senses heightened to superhuman levels (comic book levels.). He can smell the gunpowder residue long after the bullets were fired. He can hear and feel air moving around objects in the room. He can smell the metal the bullet cases are made of.
I checked the wiki page to refresh my memory (I was never a DD fan), DD has no 'super' powers but his abilities are switched to 11, to what people think might be possible, and maybe just a tad over what is beyond doubt. Just this week I watched an episode of Castle, where a character 'suffered' from hyperosmia. She was able to smell pheromones.DD has all of these things put together.
In the wiki page they also mentioned that spatial awareness that high-level martial artists claim to have, which makes them so great at fighting multiple opponents.

This should give you a flavour of what to expect Halb. Spoiler obviously.

Yeah, that's brilliant, there is probably no-one in the marvel universe more realistic, an ex-soldier nutjob who goes around with a tonne of guns.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zsVn_vZ9zE

That doesn't chime with other reviews, what makes you say it?
some of the fight scenes are a bit comical, 1 foot away punches.the punisher is great but missing a central powerful boss like kingpin.

They've already explained AND shown how he "sees", just watch the series. It seems to be a mix of echo location, sound, air movement, smell, basically all his heightened senses coming together to form a picture that while not exactly crystal clear in terms of vision, seems to be more accurate then people who can see as he is literally able to dodge bullets.
This is how they've visualised it in the TV series.
The film had something very similar too except it was in blue.
Can't wait to start in on S2. Season 1 was the best TV I've watched in a long time, never mind the superhero genre.

Watched up to E10 last night. It just keeps getting better. Fingers crossed it can keep up the momentum. Without saying too much some of the criticisms earlier in the thread are answered directly.
With saying too much here's a massive spoiler. Remember what has been seen cannot be unseen. You have been warned.
