‘Daredevil: Born Again’: Promising (So Far)

Daredevil is easily one of the best comic book adaptations ever made. It’s filled with visceral action, gorgeous cinematography, three-dimensional characters, and, most important, religious symbolism. That made it all the more sad when the Netflix series was canceled in 2018. Seven years later, it got a second chance.

Daredevil: Born Again, a reboot of the original series as its title suggests, started off strong with the first two episodes that dropped on Disney+ last week. While it’s not perfect, the opening does hook you in with an explosive fight scene — the conclusion of which holds implications affecting our titular hero beyond the first 15 minutes.
