I was thinking back over Daredevil #12 this weekend. Early in Matt and Kirsten's date, he's reflecting on how her attempts to prove he is Daredevil have become a game between them. Her tossing pencils at him, him wearing sweaters that say "I'm Not Daredevil" as she prepares to use a slingshot on him, which seems like its upping the ante a bit. She could put one of his eyes out.
Oh right.
Anyway, the last attempt we see involved Kirsten lifting her shirt to display a bra with the phrase "You are Daredevil" on it, while she and Murdock are discussing a case they're on opposite sides of. Matt's a little unnerved, which certainly amuses her.
What amuses me is she's going through all that because she's convinced Matt isn't blind, because he's Daredevil. Except he is Daredevil, and he is blind, at least in the sense she's thinking. What strikes me as funny about it is that even with all his enhanced senses, Matt can't read the message on her clothing any more than your standard sightless person can. His radar sense doesn't work on flat objects.
I don't mean it like that! Cripes. I mean the lettering is probably flat and not providing any sort of outline to differentiate it from the rest of the clothing, so Matt's radar can't tell it's there. So Matt's missing her response to his little joke almost entirely.
