Daredevil Season 3: 20 Easter Eggs & References Explained

17. Born Again

Daredevil Cab
Netflix & Marvel Comics

This season is heavily influenced by the 1986 "Born Again" comic book run, particularly in relation to Matt's relationship with Sister Maggie (Joanne Whalley) and its not-so-subtle Christian symbolism.

One sequence that's pulled straight from that comic, however, occurs at the end of the fourth episode, when Matt escapes the prison riot, only for his cab to be driven into the nearby river by a Fisk-employed cabbie (who bails out moments before impact).

If you're unaware of the comic it might seem a little daft, but for fans of Born Again, it's a fun little nod to one of its most memorable moments.
