Moving past the Muse storyline as quickly as possible, which was little more than a blip, “Isle of Joy” offers and episode focusing on our hero and villain’s relationships with storylines designed to bring one couple together and (perhaps unnecessarily) pull the other apart. Despite several characters telling us over and over again that Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) has become erratic and emotional, I think that’s more than a bit of an overstatement to ultimately get the episode where it needs to go in the time allotted. He’s certainly less than happy to learn the about his girlfriend’s relationship with the Mayor and, as one might expect (especially someone like a psychiatrist), he’s running a bit hot after a face-to-face with the man who killed his best friend.

The question that has been looming over the season is what would be the catalyst to force Matt Murdock back into the suit. “Excessive Force” answers that question by bringing the underdeveloped villain Muse out of the background and into the forefront.

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to a team-up between Spider-Man and Daredevil under the big top in the pages of Spidey Super Stories #43.

Daredevil – With Interest

  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – With Interest
  • wiki: link

In what is the obligatory standalone crossover episode, “With Interest” continues themes of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) struggling with his need to put his skills outside of the courtroom to use. In this episode this involves Hell Kitchen’s most famous blind lawyer walking into a bank during a robbery and finding ways to keep everyone safe, prevent the theft of a rare jewel from a safe deposit box, and dole out a little punishment. The episode works in a vacuum with the various other storylines put on hold for this single adventure which, in part, is also used to introduce Matt to the bank’s assistant manager Yusuf Khan (Mohan Kapur) who happens to have a hero in the family.
