Daredevil Born Again has blessed us with three mind-blowing episodes so far. While the Marvel show sees some of the characters from the Netflix series making a comeback, it also introduces us to some new faces. One such new entry is the young journalist named BB Urich, who definitely reminds us of a fan-favorite character from the previous iterations of the TV show. Yes, you guessed it right, we are talking about Ben Urich. So, if you are intrigued by the curly-haired girl who has grabbed a lot of attention by appearing in Daredevil: Born Again, be with us as we delve deeper to learn more about her.
BB Urich in Daredevil: Born Again Explained
BB Urich is a character who was originally crafted for Daredevil: Born Again. It means that she’s a TV-original character and isn’t based on a character from the Marvel comics. She is a journalist who hosts ‘The BB Report’ and does everything possible to expose New York’s dark side to the public.
She is the niece of Ben Urich, the popular crime journalist who lost his life at the hands of Kingpin aka William Fisk, in the original Daredevil series. BB Urich clearly considered Ben Urich as her idol, and that is why she is following in his footsteps to reveal the truth of New York to people through journalism.
Fisk has now become the mayor of New York City, and in the second episode, BB bags a chance to interview him. She yet has no clue that the person she has been dying to interview actually killed her beloved uncle. Now that Daredevil is not around, she is determined to shed light on the increased criminal activities in the city through her online program, The BB Report. The show features raw and unfiltered footage of the crimes occurring in New York City. BB also never shies away from stepping forward and interviewing the civilians on the streets.
Since her entry on Daredevil Born Again, the girl has been chasing Fisk without realizing that the man isn’t anything he looks like. Fisk has succeeded in being in the good books of the public for his political career, and most civilians that BB interviewed believe that he is a genuine politician. However, let’s not forget what Fisk did to Ben when he discovered the crimes the former had committed. So, now it’s BB who is inching towards the dangerous things that may put her life at risk.
