Though Born Again is certainly a dark tale, the Man Without Fear still manages to salvage a happy ending. Season 3 can actually go one step further though by granting DD his own revenge, along the lines of D. G. Chichester and Lee Weeks' Last Rites.
In the comic, which is considered a spiritual sequel of sorts to Born Again, Daredevil utilises every mean at his disposal to systematically destroy Kingpin's life from the ground up. He enlists S.H.I.E.L.D. (a crossover waiting in the wings, perhaps?), and tears Fisk's empire down, concluding the threads established in Miller's run in a uniquely satisfying manner.
At the moment, it looks as though Netflix won't be making any new Marvel TV shows. They are, however, continuing with their pre-established series, with Jessica Jones Season 3, Iron Fist Season 2 and a follow-up to the Punisher all already in production. It looks as though things are set to continue despite Disney carving out a place in the market with their own streaming service, and while Season 3 of Daredevil doesn't necessarily have to provide a sense of finality to the character's story, that could just be what ends up happening by the time the thirteenth episode's credits start to roll.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
