First Photo of Michael Jai White as Bronze Tiger in 'Arrow'

The deadly character is about to leap into the TV show! Come get a first look at his costume.

It looks like Green Arrow is going to have his hands full in Season Two. The incredibly skilled Ben Turner aka Bronze Tiger will make his debut in the show, and according to executive producer Marc Guggenheim, he's "basically the best of the best." Guggenheim stated the character will travel to Starling City to see if the Hood can give him a good challenge and stated claims it's "a really great representation of this DC Comics character." While in the city, he'll form an alliance with China White (Kelly Hu) and the Chinese Triad. So, how will they dress up Michael Jai White for the role? Check it out below.

No Caption Provided

Guggenheim also said, "If you're a fan of the character from the comics, you are going to be really happy with his Arrow-fication." What do you think of the image, Viners? Simple yet effective or would you have liked to see something different? Speak your mind below!

Arrow will return October 9th on the CW.

Those are not Wolverines claws. They're Catman's.

Would rather have seen him as Luke Cage in a Marvel movie.

At least casting seemed to get something right this time. [Don't look at me I'm still a very bitter person over castings for last season especially Roy]

I think Bronze Tiger would make a great addition to the series. I don't think that the Wolverine claws are needed though and I hope that there's going to be great story development revolving around Bronze Tiger entry to the series and I hope that there is going to be great action series. I read that Bruce Wayne was going to be in the series to, CW could introduce Bruce Wayne with Bronze Tiger. Bronze Tiger tracks Bruce Wayne to Star City to assassinate him and avenge his mentor O-sensei, as Bronze Tiger was convinced by Merlyn who somehow came back to life or Vertigo that Bruce Wayne killed his mentor. This Vertigo character villain could change similar to the addressing multiple Ra's al Guls in the Batman Begins movie. If CW doesn't do anything like that then they could cast King Kobra and his followers. I think the Arrow needs to face a evil far greater then One man: Merlyn. Instead fight an army, since the League of Shadows or League of Assassins have been shown, then the next choice I believe would be King Kobra and his followers as the main threat antagonist of the series.

NEWSFLASH:

Claw weapons NOT invented by a fictional character named Logan; Ninjas everywhere offended, ask "What about my tekko kagi?"

In other news... comic geek overheard stating 'Vega is just another Wolverine rip-off too' before having ass kicked by rabid Street Fighter cosplayers.

Black Wolverine is a fail. This looks like pressure from execs rather than trusting the source material.

This show needs to cut the crap and stopped being embarrassed about being a superhero genre show. I don't care how good it is, if they don't/won't allow their characters to have their unique powers and abilities and even remotely superhero genre costume styles, it's not a superhero genre anything anymore. It just becomes another "police drama" show, and I'm not interested.

All of their villains so far are pale imitations, in name only, of the real comic counterparts. I resent these studios trying to make money off of comic fans by throwing someone in leather and using the same name as my fav childhood hero, just to make money off of me when the character doesn't even resemble the source material beyond that stolen name.

Black Canary better get a sonic scream. Count Vertigo better come back with some vertigo powers and any metas they introduce better have powers. If the Flash is just a good "track and field" runner I'll never watch the show again.

I'm glad they're not going with the anthropomorphic Bronze Tiger look like how he's supposed to look in the 52 comics. That's a lame look.

Do you have to watch series 1 of Arrow to understand series 2? Or do you think it's okay to jump in now?
