So I mentioned in a previous post that DC was bringing King Tut back... or rather, bringing him... period, as he had never appeared anywhere outside of the 60's TV show. Tut had the distinction of easily being the third worst villain in the show's three-year run. And given that Egghead was played by Vincent Price, I'd almost have to call it a tie for second. (The worst was clearly Louie The Lilac, played by Milton Berle!)So... anyhoo... we've gotten our first look at New Skool Tut (though it looks like he's outside of proper continuity, as Batman is involved in the case and not scribbling cave paintings at the Dawn O' Time. Final Crisis Spoiler! )And while no cats have been molested... yet... he's definitely not the doughy archaeologist with a goofy Egypt fixation.
Instead, he's a buff Abominable Dr. Phibes type, who's biting the Riddler's rhymes (or his riddling shtick, to be more precise.) while killing people.
Though no small children... yet.
