One of the fascinating things about the third season of Daredevil is how it’s translated the narrative of Born Again to make sense in this version of the Daredevil story. ![]() ![]() There’s little in the way of action, and it’s not great for getting a good sense of what Matt Murdock is like - he spends most of it paranoid and destitute, living on the streets and barely keeping it together. Instead, it’s a story about Matt Murdock hitting rock bottom, as Wilson Fisk (not imprisoned, and operating with impunity as the Kingpin of Crime) learns Murdock is Daredevil, and uses his power and influence to ruin him. It’s considered a quintessential Daredevil graphic novel, but Daredevil is barely in it. But, more than any season before it, Daredevil season three is working from a single comic-book story - perhaps the most famous Daredevil story, Born Again, by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.Īs far as seminal graphic novels go, Born Again is an oddity. I’ve intentionally avoided talking about any comic-book source material thus far - I generally prefer to talk about the show for what it is, and not compare it against whatever it may be adapted from. ![]() Here is where we finally talk about Born Again.
