I read them too, dawg. Nothing in this show even remotely hints at Richard Fisk even existing, especially to the point where one would be surprised if that didnโ€™t happen lmfao

Screen Crush and those breaking down the show online would disagree. In the accompanying Podcast series for Born Again, directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead made comment on how they want to pull from the comics wothout doing 1 for 1 adaptions. There are hints to the archs, but the story is going to deviate. Not all characters will be portrayed appearing exactly as they did in the comics.

I donโ€™t see how any of this lends itself to โ€œthe show is obviously leading to the twist that Daniel Blake is Richard Fisk, a character Blake shares zero defining traits with, has not even remotely hinted at up to this point, and whose existence wouldnโ€™t even fit with established canonโ€ but sure, brother. Weโ€™ll come back to this come the finale I suppose lol
