Of course, we already had a King Tut, and arguably a better one, so you may consider this a 52 Shake-Up. I first wrote about that King Tut in my Batman '66 Super Post, where I said:
King Tut
King Tut first appeared in Batman (episode: "The Curse of Tut", 1966). In the show, he was a professor of Egyptology named Omaha McElroy, who believed himself to be a reincarnation of King Tut after receiving a blow to the head during a student riot.
He was mentioned by the Riddler in Secret Origins Special #1 (June 1989), but he made his first actual appearance in comics in Batman Confidential #26 (April 2009). This time he was Victor Goodman, a criminal Egyptologist who murders the wealthy and leaves behind Egyptian-themed riddles. His real name is an homage to Victor Buono, the actor who portrayed King Tut in the tv show.

This King Tut is completely different.
