The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is back. Matt Murdock has finally made his Disney+ debut in She-Hulk and, while the appearance mostly gets his character right, Daredevil still has a huge on-screen legacy to live up to. Netflix’s Daredevil series was well-received in general, but it was Charlie Cox’s grounded, haunted performance as the Man Without Fear and the show’s incredible fight choreography that catapulted it to legendary status among MCU fans. Season one’s one-shot hallway fight set the standard for superhero action in Netflix’s Marvel shows—and while Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and The Punisher were all good for different reasons (the less said about Iron Fist, the better), none reached Daredevil’s level of technical proficiency. Here, then, are the best fight scenes from Netflix’s Daredevil—and here’s hoping that the folks at Disney+ can carry on the tradition.

The episode: Season one, episode 13, “Daredevil”Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) knows he’s cornered here, and he goes full-on Hulk-mode on Daredevil. The brilliance of this scene comes from the difference between their fighting styles: Kingpin is all rage and power, a charging bull, while Daredevil is more lithe and nimble, flipping over and around Kingpin’s bulkier form. This is an unusually dialogue-heavy fight, with Daredevil and Kingpin battling it out for the very soul of Hell’s Kitchen.
