The CW’s Arrow is an interesting animal. It not only captures the superhero audience, but also the one that appreciates muscle-y dudes like star Stephen Amell who appears shirtless in posters and ads for the show pretty regularly. TVLine scored this first look at the show’s number one bow lover who looks a lot worse for wear after the first season finale.

Meanwhile, TV Guide showed off the very first look at a character familiar to many comic fans, but not the world at large: Bronze Tiger. Portrayed by Michael Jai White (Spawn) in the show’s second season, Bronze Tiger will first appear in the second episode of the season to test himself against the Hood. “He’s basically the best of the best, so he has come to Starling City to see if the Hood can give him a challenge,” executive produce Marc Guggenheim said. “To that end, he has aligned himself with China White [Kelly Hu] and the Chinese Triad.” Looks to us like he’s taking a few cues from Wolverine, but we’re hopeful that White and Amell will give us the kinds of action scenes we’ve come to know and love from the show.

As the poster says, Arrow Season Two premieres on the CW October 9th and 8:00 PM.
