Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Ending: Matt Murdock Publicly Reveals His Identity As Daredevil

The biggest moment in ‘Daredevil: Born Again Season 2’ finale is Matt Murdock making a bold and risky move in court. In order to save Karen Page (played by Deborah Ann Woll) and expose Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk’s (played by Vincent D'Onofrio) corrupt system, he publicly reveals that he is Daredevil.

Matt Murdock sacrifices his privacy and safety, while Wilson Fisk remains dangerous but controlled for now.
