“Daredevil: Born Again” is uneven, but the ambitious nine-part series lands plenty of punches if you go in knowing that it positions comic-book fare not as escapist entertainment but as bloody, political commentary.

Before she became a Golden Lion–winning artist, Anne Imhof was a bouncer, working at a club in a Frankfurt suburb that she has described as a “headquarters” for herself and her friends. The club has always haunted her work—Aqua Leo, one of her early performances, derived its name from the code words that she and the other bouncers used to communicate during their shifts. In a less obvious way, it also seems to haunt her newest work, a three-hour piece called DOOM, for which attendees are kept from entering the stage until performers remove the barricades. From the performance’s onset,…
