Born Again" is a 1986 comic book story arc that appeared in the Marvel Comics series Daredevil. Written by Frank Miller, and drawn by David Mazzucchelli, the storyline first appeared in Daredevil #227–231. It was later reprinted in graphic novel format along with the previous issue #226, and a follow-up story arc from Daredevil #232–233, which resolves some loose ends from the original story arc. Because of this, this follow-up story arc has become generally considered part of "Born Again".
The story details Daredevil's descent into insanity and destitution at the Kingpin's hands, as well as a subsequent struggle to build a new life for himself. The storyline (amalgamated with "Guardian Devil") was loosely adapted as the 2018 third season of the Netflix Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) streaming television series Daredevil.
Director Mark Steven Johnson had expressed interest in directing a sequel to the 2003 Daredevil film with the "Born Again" storyline.[6] In June 2011, Fringe writer Brad Caleb Kane was rumored to be adapting the "Born Again" storyline for the film.[7] In August 2012, Fox turned down a pitch by director Joe Carnahan for a film based on "Born Again".[8] On October 10, the film rights reverted to Marvel Studios.[9]
Elements of the "Born Again" story arc are adapted in seasons two and three of the Netflix Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series Daredevil. After engineering Frank Castle's prison escape, Wilson Fisk is seen in his prison cell asking for files on Matt Murdock. The series shows Dex Poindexter (Wilson Bethel), a character replacing Nuke's role in the storyline, while Fisk watches news of Dex's first attack from a wall of monitors. Earlier, Fisk tries to have Matt driven into the East River in a cab, and Big Ben Donovan uses Fisk's "There's no corpse" line when news comes that Matt has survived. Matt's entry is also lifted from "Born Again", with Matt, seemingly killed in the destruction of Midland Circle at the end of The Defenders, alive and recovering in a convent.
A new Daredevil series, subtitled Born Again, is currently in development by Marvel Studios, as part of the Phase 5 in MCU.
