'Daredevil' Season 2 Spoilers: Two New Suits for Matt Murdock Teased?
Will the coolest blind superhero on the Netflix series, "Daredevil" soon sport two new suits when the show airs in 2016?
Matt Murdock, whose job is a lawyer but moonlights as a highly-skilled vigilante, dubbed Daredevil, is rumored to be donning two new cool outfits, when the official show's account on Twitter posted photos of his suits.
Earlier, an image of one of the superhero's costumes was already released via the account.
No new suits?
However, upon careful inspection, the outfit at the left seemed to be the black attire he used in almost all his fights in the entire first season. Moreover, the one released on Aug. 20 was the same costume Murdock (Charlie Cox) was wearing when he was fighting with Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D' Onofrio) during last season's finale, as confirmed by Comic Book Resources (CBR). An image of the attire worn by Murdock can be seen on the Twitter post below, which was confirmed to be the one seen from the finale by the costume designer herself, Stephanie Maslansky.
The red and black outfit was already a great improvement from the all-black attire - a long-sleeved top, a pair of pants, a mask covering the top half of his face and a pair of shoes - he was using from the start.
Murdock acknowledged the importance of changing his black suit after an unfortunate battle with combat specialist Nobu in an episode titled "Speak of the Devil," ensued, followed by Kingpin beating him to a pulp that almost killed him. He was able to discover that Kingpin uses an armored suit - made from Kevlar - as protection from such fights and an information from Fisk's man led Murdock to Melvin Potter, the same man who worked on the Kingpin's suits.
Netflix may not change the red and black suit Potter designed, yet. But who knows, maybe the streaming service would, if it will listen to some of the negative reactions from the viewers.
"He has arguably one of the easiest designs to create. It's so simple and sleek. Yet they made some complicated, bulky thing," a fan with username dan12456 said.
Although the red and black suit appears to be "bulky," if it will help the blind vigilante perform his action scenes better, then he might as well continue wearing it.
