Daredevil reboot possible from Fox?

I have to admit I totally missed this little tidbit in the recent Variety article about Fox's movie plans: "The studio is even considering reviving the "Daredevil" property." I only became aware of it after reading this article on Cinema Blend. I, for one, would love to see a well-done Daredevil reboot.
