Hawkeye

Before The Avengers came out, I had no interest or knowledge in Hawkeye. I just thought he was a purple version of Green Arrow. But then I read Matt Fraction’s stellar Hawkeye series and because of that he’s become one of my favorite heroes around. And, I believe in my heart-of-hearts that Clint deserves his very own TV show because of it.

In the comic series, everything is revolved around how Clint spends his hours to himself when he’s not fighting bad guys with the Avengers. He has verbal spats with his young ward Kate Bishop, has to juggle relationship problems, and gets into several fights with Russian gangsters that are always saying “bro.” It would all make for some interesting TV and I’m sure that fans would love the chance to catch up with Clint each week on the small screen.
