I can't wait for the final season of Arrow. The series has had its ups and downs, but I really want to see how it all ends, and how the Crisis features into events.
Thank you to Bob Greenwade, a Patron of this blog, for suggesting this live action team up!
Green Arrow and Hawkeye have met a bunch of times on the blog - They first met in one of my very earliest STF covers... then they were at odds with a few fellow Avengers along for the tale... Next up they faced off against The Hulk and Solomon Grundy... then it was time to hone their skills... and next they shared an adventure with Black Canary and Mockingbird, then there was a classic adventure from early in their careers... then they battled some robots together... and finally, Green Arrow tried to steal Hawkeye's ride...

This is pretty great. I'd love to see a live-action Marvel/DC crossover movie and these two would be great candidates. I had been thinking about suggesting a movie photo cover recently... Batman (Keaton) vs Pennywise (Tim Curry version) or would Michael Gough's Pennyworth be more appropriate? ;P
Also, I always picture Onomatopeia as being voiced by Michael Winslow, aka Larvell Jones from the Police Academy movies.
For another live action cover, how about J'onn J'onzz and Uncle Martin from My Favourite Martian?
My money's on Renner...for this go-round.
Certainly more realistic than Renner as Barry Allen! ;-)
Great atmosphere. For a future team up, them vs Deadshot & Bullseye?
Love that look to make it so real. There's one cover you can't do that would do it.
The MAD version by having them dressed like that as kids with suction cup arrows.
Awesome! Yeah, between Arrow coming to an end and Hawkeye coming up as a Disney+ miniseries, I thought this would be a good time for a live-action team-up between The Great Marksmen.
(That, I think, would be a good tag for this pair -- they've certainly been together enough times to earn one! Maybe you can announce them as such with their next pairing.)
I like Tobor's suggestion of putting them against Deadshot and Bullseye, though of course it'd be a regular comics cover.
For a couple of classic TV heroes, albeit probably a bit of a stretch, you could team up Ralph "Greatest American Hero" Hinkley with M.A.N.T.I.S.
PS: I too would love to see a live action Avengers/Justice League crossover, perhaps with touches of the Marvel vs. DC series. Given the current state of the DCEU, though, I think it'd have to be done as a TV miniseries with the Arrowverse. And with Oliver Queen and Clint Barton both being removed from the picture, they'd have to do it without the great "friendly rivalry" between those two; that was one of the best parts of the A/JL comic.
That aside, though, I think it'd be a great thing to put on both Disney+ and DCU (or The WB), to the benefit of both Warner Brothers and Disney.
what if Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) shows up in an after the end credits scene in Shaft to recruit John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) to join Jackson's Avengers which also includes...
Pulp Fiction's Jules Winfield...
The Spirit's The Octopus....
xXx's Agent A. Gibbons....
Star War's Mace Windu....
Unbreakable's Elija Price(aka Mr. Glass)....
what a live action cover/team they would make.....
as to todays excellent live action cover mash-up, it is Ross doing what he does best....
another awesome addition to your impressive archives....
Bob G, or the Greatest American Hero with Thermoman. Or James Bond and Maxwell Smart. (Has that last one been done before?)
I would rather see Batman and Luke "Power Man" Cage working together with the Black Panther.
Which makes me think of two match ups I'm surprised you haven't done yet : Hawkeye and Popeye, and Hawkeye and Hawkman.
Or, better yet, Hawkeye and Popeye trying to rescue a mind-controlled Hawkman from...The Sea Hag!*
*Hey! Even a Thanagarian with artificial wings has got to be better looking to her, after all these years, than that turkey-necked vulture.
@Carycomic - Hey how about Hawkman vs the Vulture or a rematch is Ross had done it already
Good guess, Isaac!
Katar Hol and Adrian Toomes first duked it out in STF #741. 1,504 issues later, Ross had the Vulture go up against a solo Shayera (after amping up his flight suit with Nth-metal). But, as all good stories get told in threes, I wouldn't be averse to Ross completing the trilogy. Perhaps, with the Vulture trying to take out both Hawks, at the same time!
Cover of the month!
