Daredevil: Born Again and the Paradox of Vigilantism (2025)

Martin, J. (2025, April 23). “Daredevil: Born Again” and the Antagonistic Vigilanti. 

• Examines potential factors bearing on our fascination with vigilantes more broadly and Daredevil: Born Again (2025) more specifically.

• Utilizes scholarship to examine these questions in a way that centers some of the criteria we may bring to bear on decisions that require us to separate matters of morality from matters of legality.

“Philosopher Paul Ricoeur, speaking on justice, notes that while injustice is ubiquitous throughout society, whereas how to best address it is not. Or, put another way, it is easier to identify what is morally wrong in social relations than to ensure those relations are morally right. Vigilantes exemplify this discrepancy, and one notable example is Daredevil: Born Again.”
