Daredevil: Born Again: BB Urich’s Relation to Ben Explained

Viewers are eager to know if BB Urich is related to Ben Urich in Daredevil: Born Again, the investigative journalist from the New York Bulletin. As a relatively new character, she interviews various individuals about New York’s crime scenes. Her shared last name with the late Ben Urich — famous for exposing high-profile criminals in Hell’s Kitchen — has sparked speculation. Is there a connection, or is it just a coincidence? Here’s what we know.

Who is BB Urich in Daredevil: Born Again, and how is she related to Ben?

BB Urich is a young reporter covering New York’s rising crime wave in the wake of Daredevil’s absence. She interviews several figures, including Kingpin, and shares them on her social channel, BB Report. Her keen interest in Kingpin suggests a personal connection to Ben Urich — possibly her uncle — whom Fisk brutally killed in the past.

Ben Urich, a dedicated investigative journalist, spent years uncovering Hell’s Kitchen’s criminal empires. He partnered with Karen Page to expose Kingpin’s crimes, determined to reveal the truth. Aware of the risks, he pressed on, ultimately losing his life at Fisk’s hands.

Karen and Ben were close to uncovering the truth and ready to publish their findings. However, as Ben’s wife’s health worsened, he decided to step back from the investigation. He told Karen he could no longer be involved in Kingpin’s case. Despite this, Karen urged him to publish the story and expose Kingpin once and for all.

He agrees and decides to listen to Karen. As they are about to expose him, Fisk visits Ben and strangles him to death. There is a possibility that BB Urich might be Ben’s niece, who decided to become a reporter and took on her uncle’s unfinished business.

Her increasing interest in Kingpin further strengthens this theory. She also maintains a close connection with Daniel Blake, who manages Fisk’s campaign. By staying close to him, she might gain crucial information about Fisk’s activities, which she could later use to expose him.
