Daredevil: Born Again

Matt Murdock returns to the competing demands of legal work and masked vigilantism as Wilson Fisk seeks political power in New York. Daredevil: Born Again brings their rivalry into public institutions as well as the streets. The focus stays close to the people living with the consequences of their choices, rather than a world-ending threat.

The central question is what justice looks like when the people claiming to protect a city can also hurt it. Watch the contrast between public appearances and private decisions: a courtroom argument, an election campaign and a violent confrontation can offer very different accounts of the same person. The action is forceful, but the changing balance between Matt and Fisk gives it context.

Marvel's Daredevil introduces Matt, Fisk, Karen and the relationships that give their return extra weight. Choose it first if you want that history in full. If you are starting with Born Again, begin at Heaven's Half Hour and avoid later-season summaries until you reach them.

Begin with Season 1, then continue directly into Season 2. This is a continuation of Matt and Fisk's story, rather than a retelling of Matt's origin. Marvel's Daredevil is the most useful background viewing for their history and the relationships around them; this recommendation does not add a new required entry to the site's reviewed preparation lists.
