The long wait is finally over forDaredevil: Born Again.
This visualization has been MIA for a while, andit’s time forBorn Againto bring it back.
What Is the ‘World on Fire’?
The fragments of his enhanced senses formwhat he describes as a “world on fire.
In the comic, Matt describes the ability as “a built-in radar.”
He continues, “It enables me to walk anywhere safely without walking into anything.”

Notably,The Official Handbookwrites, “Daredevil synthesizes a very close analog of three-dimensional sight.”
Additionally, Matt explains his Radar sense to Foggy Nelson in detail inDaredevil Vol.

Matt states in the comic, “It’s not just some optic substitute.
… Like my brain is constantly pinging my surroundings 360 degrees.
But there’s a sort of tactile facet to it as well.”

Unfortunately, the original Marvel Netflix series discardsthe visualization of the Radar Sense right after its introduction.
However, the series never revisitsthe visual interpretation of the Radar Sense ever again.
I just hope that ‘Born Again’ doesn’t fall into the same trap twice.
Then, the black bars on the screen narrow, visualizing how Matt is focusing on a specific sound.
His accident imbued him with extremely acute, enhanced senses of smell, taste, and touch.
Thus far,Born Againhas not provideda strong sense of how Daredevil’s Radar Sense works.
In defense of showrunnerDario Scardapane, the Radar Sense experiencedmany iterations and permutations in the comics over the years.
However, it’s important to note that Daredevil isa person with special abilities and superpowers.
In many ways, Daredevil sees and views the world more clearly than most average individuals.
ThroughoutDaredeviland nowDaredevil: Born Again,New York City is on the brink of chaos.
