Rat King's new design
 

So in the video from the TMNT Comic Con panel, Rat King's design was revealed. What do you think of RK's new look? Hate it, Love it, or mixed feelings? I think he looks alright, certainly the creepest Rat King design since the 2k3 version.

Dude! I loved it! He looked really freaky! It was perfect!:tcool:

Someone post a screencap.

Can you post a link? Thanks. Please tell me he is 100 % human!

Here's the video: http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/teen...012-panel.html

And Rat King is human, but he looks a bit more creeper than 4kids Rat King. You'll see what I mean when you watch the video. :)

The Video is Region Locked, can someone post a screenshot?

Terribull....

Unfortunately while some of the show's new stuff is fun, some of it is so derivative, that eventually you lose any originality.

Hopefully he loses the goofy coat and hat and has a more traditional Rat King garb underneath.

i like the old rat king better as well too. this guy does not look like bishop at all. not a lil bit.

He's not suppose to look like Bishop. Rat King was only Bishop's clone in the 4kids cartoon. This is a completely different TMNT cartoon.

Looks like a zombie to me. I agree I hope he has his outfit underneath the coat.

He reminds me of Lon Chaney's version of the Phantom of the Opera.

It did not work at first which is why I posted initially. This time it worked. So Rat King is human,but he looks like The Scarecrow redsign from Batman:The Animated Series. He needs bandages not a black coat! Tragg look fine though!

He has bandages. And he's supposed to look like Chaney's Phantom of the Opera.

yea i still prefer the NT shredders gears.

:o Whoa, he does look alot like the Phantom of the Opera!

I don't care for the design all that much but I do agree with the reasoning behind it. I was hoping for OT Rat King, but more skin and bones with the wrappings hanging off his body, almost mummy-esque. Hopefully he looks a lot better in action.

I quite like it. As redesigns go it works pretty well, it may not be instantly recognisable as the Rat King but it's neither goofy or fanboy kewl as one might expect and looks creepy which for the character.

do u kno wuts the reasoning behind it?

That, living in the sewer, he wouldn't exactly be healthy and would be pale and scrawny rather than muscular.

the turtles r living in the sewer too.

The lack of muscles is fine. Hell I always pictured Rat King as rather frail (though not to this extent) but the rest just is meh. Hopefully the Scarecrow gear will disappear and we can get more Rat King in the Rat King, but we'll see.

u actually prefer skinny rat king over muscular rat king? i can't believe u...

I know. Its hard to believe that someone is entitled to have their own taste...

this world is craaaazy....

While I like the idea of a malnourished Rat King, they can do so much better with the design.

its really hard to believe rat king can go malnourished coz he eat almost everything.

Everything that lives in the sewers that is. And I am sure not all of that can be good for you.:twink:

His pet rats probably eat a lot better than he does.

^and what do u think he eats?

that concept is out of this world :trolleye:

it's an interesting new look for sure

^he sure doesn't look like he eats pizza at all.

For me one word comes to mind: Awful.

Eh, I could do without the hat, but we've barely seen anything, at this point.

^it makes him look like a wizard.

He does look like something that could be rather ghost like (wasn't he pretty much a ghost in the comics... since he seemed to only appear around splinter when he was near death/dying... save for his first appearance)

head image reminds something of Banshee-esque, and like that his eyes are covered up

also should i upload the comic con panel, I already have it on my desktop?

What the hell is that?

^ it's the rat king reborn.

Rat King looks like something out of LOTR....

Looks more like some evil "dark priest" from World of Warcraft. I'm all up for things looking different but when the character isn't even visually recognizable then what's the point? Name him something else and give him a different ability.
