Entry The dead man with the pen in his forehead after Bullseye killed him for his motorcycle is writer/artist Frank Miller.
Entry Aside from Romita, Smith, and Kirby, there are a TON more homages in the movie to many of the creators involved with the Daredevil comic in the past. (Frank) Miller, the gritty writer who wrote some of DD's best stories, was mentioned in the courtroom. (Stan) Lee, the legendary figurehead of Marvel was also discussed in Foggy and Matt's conversation in their office. And (Joe) Quesada, the artist in Kevin Smith's great Marvel Knights run, was also discussed somewhere.
Entry There is a funny scene in between the credits of Bullseye in the hospital, so keep watching when the credits roll.

Entry Ben Urich, the reporter who works out Daredevil's identity, is one of the star reporters of the Daily Bugle, Spiderman's working place.

Entry When Matt's father is being told that all his former fights have been arranged in his behalf, listen to the names he's been told. Sweeny talks about 'Millar' and 'Bendis', a reference to Mark Millar and Brian Michael Bendis, two red-hot Marvel comic book scribes.
Entry The Kingpin is actually an enemy of Daredevil and Spider-Man.
Entry The comics' Daredevil was for a long time the only superhero who actually knew his buddy Spiderman's secret identity (thanks to his extraordinary senses, of course).
