Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+)

If DBA ends up being a worthy follow-up to the Netflix seasons, then I truly hope all those Fandom Menace grifters will loudly sing its praises.

It LOOKS like Marvel heard our complaints about how Cox's Daredevil was treated in She-Hulk and course-corrected. They need to be rewarded for course-correcting.

Razorfist is chiming in too. In his usual angry way.

The latest issue of SFX features Daredevil on the cover.

Meanwhile a preview has been released for the Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man animated series that debuts this month. The video offers a brief glimpse of Charlie Cox's performance as a new animated version of Daredevil (around the 1:00-1:10 mark).

I really need Born Again to be good. I'm tired of feeling cynical and pessimistic about modern entertainment. I know some people enjoy hate-watching things, and the resulting reviews can admittedly be funny and entertaining. But I'm not a hate-watcher. I want to get excited about movies and TV shows again. I'd love it if Born Again and the new Superman movie both turned out to be good so we could have fun discussing and analysing them and getting hyped speculating about which villains and stories will be adapted next. That would be swell.

Charlie Cox has penned a foreword to the latest edition of Miller and Mazzucchelli's Born Again graphic novel. I won't copy and paste the whole thing here, but you can read it over at Collider: https://collider.com/charlie-cox-foreword-daredevil-born-again-comic-images/

It reinforces two things we already knew about Cox: firstly, that he knows his Daredevil comics a lot better than most actors know the source material they're adapting; and secondly, that he has an excellent understanding of the character's complexities and what makes him so fascinating.

We were incredibly lucky to get both Charlie and Vincent in these roles. I'm not sure I can think of another comic adaptation where the hero and villain were both so perfectly cast as to definitively embody their characters.
