Fisk promises safer New York by controlling vigilantes
The new season of "Daredevil: Born Again" brings big changes to New York City. Wilson Fisk, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, is now the mayor. He has promised to make the city safer, using a tough approach against vigilantes like Daredevil. Fisk has a history with street-level heroes like Daredevil and the Punisher. As mayor, he plans to use the law against them. He believes masked vigilantes are a threat. "A man who wears a mask to cover his face is a coward," he said in a recent interview. He ran on a platform that emphasizes the rule of law. The show hints at darker times. A recent murder linked to Fisk’s anti-vigilante campaign shows the stakes are high. A set photo from the filming features a poster with the slogan "Making New York Safe" and a tip line for reports against masks. In the comics, Fisk’s tenure as mayor led to a crackdown on superheroes in New York. He even made Daredevil's alter ego, Matt Murdock, his Deputy Mayor. This dynamic created a clash between Fisk and the city's masked heroes. The fourth episode of "Daredevil: Born Again" premieres tonight on Disney+. As the story unfolds, viewers can expect intense confrontations between Fisk and the city's vigilantes, leading to questions about power and morality in NYC.
