IIRC Daredevil didn't have any special powers but was blind.

 Well... it's neatly summed up at Wikipedia - better than I could do  :  | | | | Quote: Although blind, the character's remaining four senses function with high levels of superhuman accuracy and sensitivity, giving him abilities far beyond the limits of a sighted person. Due to his lack of sight, Daredevil developed a radar sense.[34] This radar sense has a function similar to echolocation. However, as Daredevil's other senses are stronger, they are also sensitive; his main weakness is his vulnerability to powerful sounds or odors that can be used to temporarily weaken his radar sense.[35] This weakness is often used to immobilize Daredevil if he were bombarded by too much sound, which will cause him great pain and disorient him.[36] Due to the fact that Murdock's sensory organs have a superhuman level of development, his inner ear, which controls the equilibrium and motions of the body, is also preternaturally developed.[citation needed]
When Frank Miller expanded most of Daredevil's abilities, he attempted to make them "extraordinary enough to be exciting, but not on par with Superman", noting Superman's distinctly unbelievable powers.[34] | | | | |

That looks pretty entertaining, I might have to hobble down to the cinema to see it.

I bought the book yesterday and just finished it now.
Don't bother... it's crap.
The film was a million times better in almost every way. The dialogue, the back story, the costumes, the action, etc... everything about the film was better than the book.

Yeah. YMMV but I didn't really get on with it. I haven't read many graphic novels so it could be the fact that I needed to "appreciate" it in a different way or something but I really loved the Watchmen graphic novel.
