‘Arrow’ Season 2 – ‘Bronze Tiger’ Actor Michael Jai White Fights With Wolverine-Like Knuckle Blades; Is He Friend Or Foe?

The second season of 'Arrow' has begun, and one intriguing character has been introduced.

"Arrow" is the new CW hit series that gained a strong following in their first season. Based on the DC Universe centering on Green Arrow, the series has no relation to the Dark Knight Universe, nor the one in Man of Steel.

In the new season, they will introduce a lot of new characters. One of the first to emerge is "Bronze Tiger." Michael Jai White plays this character, and he shares some insights in an interview with Collider.

"Was it difficult to get used to wearing and working with the knuckle blades?

WHITE:  No, not really.  I emulated this tiger style of Kung Fu that I'm very familiar with.  I thought that would be a good match for someone calling himself Bronze Tiger and using the claws as a weapons.  Tiger style actually uses your hands in a claw-like fashion.  I always want things to be layered, so that martial arts enthusiasts who understand what tiger style is can see the basis of tiger style in what I'm doing."

"What can you say to tease what's to come for Bronze Tiger and what we can expect to see?

WHITE:  I would love to explore more of the depths of this character.  As you may know from the DC Universe, he can be on one side or the other.  You can write him off as a villain, until he shows you something different.  That's the stuff I really like to play.  In reality, there are very few villains who view themselves as villains.  They just have a certain agenda at a certain time."

"So, we could see him fighting Arrow, and then fighting with him?

WHITE:  Well, yes.  If the opportunity were to arise, that would be a cool thing."
