    Yeah, not to mention that look is even old by movie standards.

    I guess it just goes to show Hawkeye's value right now that there hasn't been a major push to give him a new costume.

    Maybe it's also deference to the Fraction/Aja run, I don't know.

    I don't disagree, especially about Clint (actually I'd be down with a more MCU-ish Natasha because maybe they won't tell the same story with her over and over then) but I don't see it happening.

    If anything I could see them giving him a new outfit altogether.

    That wasn't the first time he wore it though, was it?

    I don't remember exactly when it debuted. Might have been Bendis' Avengers Assemble, come to think of it.

    And like Barry with Wally over at DC, has Kate been pushed and Clint moved to the side in recent years or are they on equal footing as far as appearances? Marvel seems to be a little more generous with their characters than DC has

    It has been for years though that Hawkeye has been portrayed as an ineffectual loser who serves mainly as the butt of Kate’s obnoxious jokes that knock him in order to prop her up. Even his physique is diminished compared to what it used to be. He has been drawn to look wimpy with no muscle tone. They only brought back his iconic costume at the behest of Jim Zub who wrote him like his old self but that soon was buried and he went back to wearing the shirt and sunglasses. It really pisses me off seeing him portrayed as a pathetic sop rather than a wiseass who grew up in a circus. At this point the movie version acts more like him than he does in the comics.
    Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!

    Clint is a main character in multiple events and gets more appearances in general.

    Have we seen Barney since Fraction had him get fat and live on an island?

    That wasn't Fraction, what are you on about? That was Lemire.

    All New Hawkeye was a travesty but I kinda liked what they did with Barney there, ngl.


    As for his physique.
    That's how he was drawn in New Avengers not too long ago and in Thompson's West Coast Avengers it was kinda a running Gag that his shirt got torn all the time and people commented on his sick bod, basically as far as I remember.

    So it's always down to the artist.

    Although I think it's debatable how good some of those appearances actually are with his current characterization in my opinion, and compared to how Kate comes off in her own guest appearances.

    It was Avengers Assemble #1, yeah. But it was designed by Bryan Hitch for Age of Ultron.

    Which isn't too surprising considering it was a riff on Ultimate Clint's costume.

    As much crap as I used to give the Ultimate Universe, it feels like the Prime Universe really went to hell when it ended because creators had no other place left to do their experimental takes that can damage the character as well as movie synergy because Ultimate Hawkeye already kind of looked like that. Probably also would have been better if Fraction’s Hawkeye were an alternate universe story like DC Black because it was much more of an indie take and having it be a part of the main canon put the character in a place he hasn’t been able to escape from.

    Not untrue. Between Secret Empire and Civil War 2 we got wildly different takes over the last few years.

    I'd actually like that as an alternate Universe kinda deal, yeah.
