Even though his former superhero allies have forgotten who he is, Peter Parker still carries a piece of them around in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. For Daredevil, that's in the form of a business card for Matt Murdock's law firm, Nelson, Murdock, and Page.

A graphics assistant for Spider-Man: Brand New Day named Will Dixon posted on Twitter an image of a business card for Nelson, Murdock, and Page that was placed in Peter Parker's wallet in the film. The card is for Matthew Murdock in particular, and includes his phone and fax numbers. Matt's phone is listed as 347-555-01631, and looking beyond the extra number on the card, what immediately jumps out to me as a New Yorker is that Matt Murdock would never have a 347 area code.

The 347 area code is used in the Outer Boroughs of the City - the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the neighborhood of Marble Hill that is legally in Manhattan but isn't located on the island of Manhattan (New York geography is beautiful). Matt Murdock is from Hell's Kitchen, which is in the middle of the West Side of Manhattan, and very far away from Marble Hill. Matt would have a 212, 646, or 332 number instead of a 347 one. Personally, I think a 212 number suits him the best, because they are popular for offices in Manhattan, and it has nice symmetry.

You might be saying, "Jules, Matt could have just gotten an office in Brooklyn. Maybe he wanted a break from the Kitchen. Why are you so annoying?" And I am here to bring your attention to the fact that the business card still states "Hell's Kitchen, NYC" on it. It just doesn't add up!

Mr. Dixon, I mean nothing by this. The card itself looks great, and the film was terrific. And there are way too many nuances to New York City phone numbers. I'm just a dude from the West Side of Manhattan with way too much in common with Daredevil. Forgive me.

Marvel's most reliable superhero has proven he can do a whole lot more than just 'whatever a spider can.' Swing into Spidey's history with Popverse's...

Just watch out for that radioactive blood.
