I wasn't very familiar with Kate Bishop from the comics, but id did enjoy the character on the Disney+ Hawkeye series. She's supposed to anchor a Young Avengers team eventually in the MCU, so I am sure that we will see her again, it's just a matter of putting together the rest of the team. Still, with the various strikes and Marvel deciding to slow their output, it might be some time before that comes to pass.
I liked Kate Bishop in the tv show better than her early appearances. The TV show leaned heavily on Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye series, a great read.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the Young Avengers team are in place, at least. Wiccan and Speed are supposed to return in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (which seems to go through titles the way the Tower of Power goes through lead singers), Ironheart is apparently taking the place of Iron Lad, Skaar is there to take the place of Hulkling, and America Chavez may become a part of the team as well. So, a Young Avengers project may yet appear in Phase Six or Seven.
ReplyDeleteAs for Marvel slowing down, I think that's fueled in large part by the strikes. I'm not sure whether they'll go back to four films a year after things settle down, though.
Wouldn't it be funny if this Kate Bishop were the Ross-vese daughter of Kate Spencer and GCPD Detective John Bishop?
ReplyDeleteKate is really A disguised Huntress, Batgirl is Spider-woman , and the story is one of those twisted jigsaw puzzles…
ReplyDelete@Simon: which Spider-Woman? Jessica Drew; Julia Carpenter; Helen Goddard?*
ReplyDelete*One-shot character from Golden Age Chesler Comics.
Suppose a minor switch up: this Hawkeye and Huntress as a team?
ReplyDeleteI think it'd be fitting, for this blog, to team up Kate with Jaime Reyes. It could even be Part Two of a tale that starts with Clint and Ted.
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade: How about Black Goliath and Blue Beetle? Ross could entitle it... "Bill & Ted Get Black & Blue!"
ReplyDeleteIt only just occurred to me to speculate which three inmates escaped. It's not the three deadliest, but three of the deadliest, and with sunrise as the deadline, I'll guess Jonathan Crane, Victor Zsasz, and Harvey Dent.
ReplyDeleteMore like Film Freak, Calendar Man, and Crazy Quilt.
ReplyDeleteFor example: they're out to steal a 20th anniversary re-release of the (fictional) Japanese horror films "Scare Bears" and "Blanket of Snow."
