Daredevil: Born Againseason 1 ended with an audacious final act.
In response, Charlie Coxs Matt Murdock took a decisive and dangerous step.
Realizing that fighting Kingpin one-on-one wouldn’t be enough, he began building a online grid.
One of the most talked-about details in the set photos is Daredevils new costume.
Daredevils new suit bearsa striking resemblance to his black-and-red armor from Shadowland a storyline that originally ran in 2010.
In the comics, Shadowland is infamous.

Indeed, this might be exactly whereDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 is headed.
Instead, I think the show is focusing on what led to Shadowland in the first place.
He became convinced that the legal system had failed.
He isolated the area and violently enforced his rule to protect it.
Daredevil even ends up killing Bullseye and his extreme methods make even the Punisher question his actions.
This concept a vigilante seizing control of a part of the city in the name of justice is fascinating.
And most importantly, it feels like the natural evolution of whatBorn Againhas already shown.
As such,Born Againseason 2 is primed to adapt key themes from Shadowland.
Will Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 See Matt Claim A Section Of New York?
Thats not something Matt Murdock can fight in a courtroom not anymore.
So his only recourse is to fight back physically.
He creates a zone of resistance not necessarily the demonic fortress of Shadowland, butsomething more grounded.
A sanctuary where Fisks laws dont apply.
A stretch of Hells Kitchen where vigilantes can operate openly or seek refuge from Fisks task force.
This new Shadowland wouldnt be about mystical power.
It would be about reclaiming the city one block at a time.
Daredevil becomes not just a symbol, but a leader.
Maybe even a warlord in the eyes of the government.
Yet to the people, hes their protector,their last defense against the fascistic reignof Kingpin.
Theres no need for demons or the supernatural, or even a return for the Hand.
The consequences of this could have huge ramifications for the MCUs other street-level heroes, such as the Punisher.
