First of final look of Matt Murdock in full costume from Daredevil: Born Again Season 2

Marvel has officially introduced the new costume of Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and it looks dark and cool at the same time. Charlie Cox is wearing a predominantly black suit, with a bit less of the classic red, and thus it exhibits a more tactical and tougher look.

The design gives tribute to the more gritty comic versions but also makes it look realistic and appealing on the screen. At the same time, it is very suitable for Daredevil’s street-level vibe. The fans on the internet are already divided, some of them like the darker shade, while others miss the traditional red. However, this new appearance appears to be a cool balance between the old and the new.

Matt Murdock's new suit in Daredevil: Born Again

The new Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 costume retains his classic appearance, with the horns, full mask, and lean physique, but changes the colors from bright red to a darker, textured black, that almost looks like armor when viewed closely. The suit is layered: there is a breathable mesh, hard plate protections on the chest and shoulders, and sculpted panels that can move and protect.

Certain minor details like smaller horns, a flatter mask seam and a thinner torso, make it look realistic and still remain faithful to the comics. The mask fits Daredevil's face perfectly and Matt Murdock appears more serious and shadowy, as he runs around New York at night. In a brief clip of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 shared alongside the image, the eyes of the mask also glows slightly.

All these additions indicate that the designers desired a suit for Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 that would not only be used in dark, grave situations but also remain true to the character. All in all, it is a functional and strong cinematic upgrade.

Why are fans buzzing

The internet responded like fans at a comic convention would: excited, opinionated and vocal. The old Daredevil fans at once picked up the comic-book elements of the costume: the sharp cowl lines, the horned form, the darker colour. To new audiences or the first-time watchers of Daredevil in the MCU, the costume appears as a polished, modern version, and this attracts more people.

Certain fans are nostalgic about the old red suit of the Netflix series, which had a lot of emotional attachment. The transition to an all-black appearance in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is symbolic and is the omen of a darker and more aggressive episode. It is also popular that the new suit appears practical, it appears to be stunt-ready, for the real world, and cinematic lighting, not just comic panels.

Naturally, there exist debates as well. There are still fans who come to see the old red costume because of its classic appearance, whereas there are those who believe that the black one is more befitting for a city in crisis. On the whole, the suit in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 influenced people to talk, share GIFs, and even react online, which is to say that it did what it was intended to accomplish: to impress.
