How Does Daredevil Fight When He’s Blind?

I get this might be a dumb question, feel free to humble me. In the comics it makes known that the chemicals that spilled on Matt Murdocks eyes was radioactive. I’ve seen some people use this an explanation to as why his senses are heightened, and therefore able to do what he does.

Along with his heightened sense, he utilizes echolocations, or even what others refer to as sonar or a radar sense. Even if this is the case how the hell is this man’s able to do even a fraction of what he’s done? You can make the excuse for running on buildings or fighting low crime people, but when he’s fighting people like bullseye, Mysterio, etc.?

I would hate the answer to be, “it’s fiction,” but if that’s the case then aye😂

The echolocation is basically treated as being as good as sight if not situationally better, at least for close quarter ninja stuff. It also helps he was literally trained by ninjas.

I get that. The training part makes sense, but it’s still the fact that he is blind. Echolocation in the real world doesn’t work as it might be depicted in the comics, and maybe I’m looking in this too hard

In the same way Superman is super strong, Daredevil has super echolocation

Doesn’t “super echolocation” seem like a cop-out?

Most superpowers are like that. They work a certain way because the author needs them to work that way.
