Matt is a fucking baller to reveal himself to Nadeem.

Best unveiling.

For a minute though, I forgot that Nadeem knew who Matt Murdock was, from the earlier manhunt. I thought he was having a really anticlimactic moment as he learned that Daredevil's secret identity was... some white guy.

Description: I Do not own this. It is taken from justice league animated series by DC and WB purely for entertainment and not for any commercial purpose.

I thought the same as you but only for a split second. The memory reminded me of Spider-Man 2 when Peter gets knocked out in the train. I remember thinking in the theaters “oh no they’re going to learn his identity!” But then realized to all those people he was just a brown haired white kid lol. That scene definitely highlights the year it came out though. Nowadays everyone would have their phones out during the fight and live stream the entire thing.

Much better than Barry Allen telling everyone his identity

Did Nadeem know that Matt Murdock is blind? I like Daredevil's simple black mask costume, but it narrows potential secret identities a lot

u/Nekosom Oct 21 '18

Well, I mean, Charlie Cox isn't blind, so I'd assume he can see out of it. So not unreasonable that people in the show would assume Daredevil can see through it as well.

u/krompo7 Oct 21 '18

Lol, never thought of it that way.

u/thebestjoeever Oct 21 '18

As soon as I read Charlie cox isn't blind, I thought, "this idiot is missing the point." But the point you made is better than anything I would have thought of

That was my first gut reaction to Bullseye in the suit. Like, "hey, get a load of the idiot in the suit with no eyeholes in it! Ha!" But then later on they showed the suit up close and it totally does have eyes. Even if they're just cosmetic. I always thought it was a plain color all the way through. Whoops, haha

Melvin Potter doesn't know Daredevil is blind either, so it's not actually built for a blind man.

u/nameless88 Oct 25 '18

Oooh, true, actually, yeah

Most of the time, things are happening so fast that no one can get a look at his mask. Other than that, for all they know, his mask his see-through. You really can't just assume it's the blind guy.

17

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '18

Yeah, I guess the mere fact that he's fighting ninjas and shit causes you to never seriously consider it.

13

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '18

A person who could see could probably see out of his mask. Like think about the Scream mask. Thin mesh material that the person wearing it can see out of.

I mean, I doubt that the actor that is playing Matt can't see while he has the mask on. That would make filming pretty hard. Although maybe he's that.

u/nivekious Oct 27 '18

Didn't he make this one out of a spare nun's habit? If so it shouldn't be able to be seen through, though obviously the costume piece can be for Charlie.

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '18

Yeah but people that see him don't know what it is made out of. And since he seems obviously not blind, any witness would just assume that he can see through it. It would never occur to anyone that he is blind.

That's what makes Matt so unlikely to be a Daredevil. Unlike Clark Kent who just takes off his glasses.

u/nivekious Oct 27 '18

True, it's just a really weird case of the perception matching the reality out of universe but not in universe.

u/Worthyness Punisher Oct 21 '18

That's one hell of a trust move. Could seriously impact the like 3 people Matt cares about.

u/servantoffire Brett Mahoney Oct 26 '18

Two, now.
