The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989)

Hoping to avoid conflict lest his inner Hulk surfaces, travelling lonely man David Banner (Bill Bixby) settles in a densely populated city, a place that's typically ass-hole central. As if to prove that his choice of locale isn't the dumbest thing he can do that day, he takes a ride on the subway, too.
In that same city is a blind attorney named Matt Murdock (Rex Smith), aka Daredevil. And where there's DD, there's Wilson Fisk (John Rhys-Davies), a crime boss with aspirations of becoming head of a vast criminal network.
Serving once again as a pilot for a series that didn't emerge, the story puts DD to the fore, with Hulk in a more secondary role. There's a kindred spirit element to the duo's relationship that makes it more textured than the Thor story, but it's still something that will appeal mostly to existing fans.
