The New 52 Welcomes Bronze Tiger

The latest in DC Comics’s series of “What’s New in the New 52” blog posts is Bronze Tiger–which is interesting because up until now most of the characters have been villains (or at least morally ambiguous/sometime villains like The Joker’s Daughter).Bronze Tiger, previously depicted as an African-American superhero with a tiger motif costume, now appears as an actual tiger-man. Here’s the description from DC’s blog:

There’s been a whole lot of talk lately about Jason Todd’s memories. It seems like there are layers and layers of the character that have yet to be revealed — like what’s his connection to a gang of mercenaries who are led by someone part human and part … wild cat? Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Bronze Tiger.

So it appears as though Bronze Tiger is, at a minimum, an antihero and that he’ll have a connection to Red Hood and the Outlaws. Could we see him join the team? We’ll likely find out soon enough…
