In fact, I like the name Hawkeye better than Green Arrow but the trick arrows pushes GA ahead a bit.

for me that is what puts green arrow behind hawkeye. i think a lot of the trick arrows is just lame.

I do too, and it really bugs me that Ollie doesn't really use them that much anymore.

I know. The last time I saw any trick arrows was when Conner had to use Ollie's trick arrows to help the JLA in Morrison's run that helped Conner get into the JLA for a short time.

One of my favorite lines from JLU is from Green Arrow:

"And Black Canary said a buzz-saw arrow was self-indulgent...."

I don't know why but trick arrows make me chuckle.

He did? I honestly don't remember him using trick arrows. Well, if you can show me a picture, I'm gonna have to seriously rethink my favorite archer.

This is from Wikipedia:
Powers and abilities

While Hawkeye has no superhuman powers (with the exception of the period when using Pym particles to become Goliath), he is a trained athlete and tactician, being at the very peak of human conditioning. The character is a grandmaster marksman, having been trained by the criminal archer Trick Shot, and has been a highly trained acrobat and aerialist since his days in the circus. Hawkeye has been thoroughly trained by Captain America in tactics, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat. Hawkeye excels in the use of weapons, especially the bow and arrow, and carries a quiver containing a number of customized "trick-arrows" that use sonics, gas, explosives, and flares, among others. In his new role as Ronin, Barton shows great proficiency with the katana and other melee weapons.

Here's a link to trick arrows from Wikipedia. It has a list of the different trick arrows used by both Hawkeye and Green Arrow:

I love that line.

"In a rare moment of self-awareness, Hawkeye realizes that, although he is virtually identical to the Justice League's Green Arrow, he will never be remotely as cool, largely because Green Arrow scored with Black Canary and had a kid sidekick with a heroin problem. Take that, Stan Lee!"

Alot of the those examples are explained rather easily by normal continuity. I hate being that guy who says such things but yeah. This is like the 3rd-4th time this week I've played continuity cop. It's embarassing. I figured he's being humourous but yeah, continuity compells me like the Power Cosmic 9ten points for who gets the exact reference---I've been in uber-geek mode as of late).
