please, for the love of christ, remember that he is not comics-canon hawkeye. he was not in the circus, he probably wasn't a villain, and he is not all wisecracky. if anything, movies hawkeye is based on ultimates hawkeye in terms of personality and background. he's a lot drier and more professional than most people have been playing him. i haven't read the comics in forever, but there was a comic-recs-for-the-movie-players thread a couple of discussion posts back. try checking there to see if anyone's got hawkeye recs?

sorry if this sounds bitchy, but the vast majority of movie hawkeyes i've seen have been doing it wrong.
