Arrow-fication

Michael Jai White: Bronze Tiger

file name:  Benjamin Turner

Affiliation:  Task Force X 

aka,  the Suicide Squad

Abilities:  Ben is a skilled tactician and strategist
but excels as a hunter killer. Even though he rarely kills
his target. The skills of an assassin and his natural
athletic talents are paramount and is only tempered

by his inner Shogun

I've been hearing the casting is inspired. I would say so ( to the obvious choice). The martial arts master of the DCU and the real life martial arts master in the flesh.

Sports fans this should be good. The second episode of Arrow is Identity, featuring China White and DC's ultimate Super Spy the Bronze Tiger.

The shows executive producer, Marc Guggenheim, said

Michael is such a badass. His performance, our incredibly talented 

costumer designer, and our very gifted props master ... they've all combined their A-games

to create a really great representation of this DC comics character. 

If your a fan of the character

from the comics. You are going to really be happy with his Arrow-fication.

Arrow will also feature Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, Black Canary, 

Sebastian Blood, and the scarlet speedster himself the Flash

Well true believers,  what do you think?

Is the uniform what it should be?

Does the master of the empty hand need Catman's  claws?

Should the Tiger mask show up?

Why was the design so close to Wolverine?

And whatever else you got.

Count down to Vertigo

Another drastic change on a DC classic character. When I first seen the new 52 concept I was like,  WHAT!?!  

Then my son looked at him and said

" They got him looking like MGK "

???    um mm.....who is that?

He's a Hip Hop artist. He flips open his laptop and shows me who MGK is.  I'm an Outkast,  Scarface,  Wu Tang kinda guy. But when I heard the kid rhyme it changed my whole outlook.  Wait wait wait..... For my man to make that cross reference and connect  the new outfit to what's currently going on right now  it made me think that maybe DC's attempt to make their characters current might not be to far off from right and what works for the new comic book readers out there.

I know your head is hurting right now like this guy. But right now the new younger ( out of character ) Green Arrow is pretty popular.  Dale and Gemini seem to like the show as well. So making Count Vertigo a younger different version might just connect this new 52 with DC's actual target audience.?.

For me,  the Young justice version has been the coolest version of the character yet. But that's just me. 

If they ( DC ) can make this new tough guy 52 Vertigo work I'm going to have to applaud this one. Cause what they did with my man Bronze Tiger's new look is criminal. I would have taken  new Vertigo's  outfit with a bandolier and broad swords to a fight every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I'm still going Indy until the real BT comes back, but if we're still going to traverse this genre you better
