Ollie just seems like a deeper character in general whether its new 52 or not. Ollie was stranded on an island and left to survive for 5 years. Hawkeye was simply a guy with a bow.
Vote for the next Character of the Month: 10/14
@feartheliving: it's completely subjective, that's why I said I think and not it is, and this would be the place to say who you think is better(subjectively) we could have a gif competition, but they both have incredible feats and I would probably be making most the gifs
Green Arrow has had more of an effect within his and our universe from what I've seen, while Clint may be witty, funny and a good shot, Ollie has that, plus being one of the first to really tackle issues of racism, drug use, and sexual diseases. They've both been able to move on past just using a bow and using a sword, but Ollie used both at the same time of his career, upgrading and not just switching, but that isn't very important, what is, is how he became the mayor of his city to help on a level that very few heroes ever do, and in futures end it could be argued that he made a bigger difference in the lives of more people than Batman(as far as we know), by fighting for the rights of citizens from another earth, using his resources to make homeless shelters all over the country and making technology available for people all over the world "franchising non-profit social aid". He was even a big part of Justice League Unlimited, known as their social conscience, plus Ollie has had a great supporting cast, like Roy, Dinah, Shado, Connor, Mia, Artemis(in Young Justice), and now Emiko
@mrnoital: Where do you think those gifs came from? I made them myself.
What exactly are you trying to prove? I'm not arguing Ollie isn't also a good character, I prefer Clint but I don't hate GA.
@feartheliving: I'm not trying to prove anything, just kinda hoping I get argument of the week, I don't hate Clint either, just stating reasons as to why I prefer Ollie, and I just don't really feel like making gifs atm
I find Fraction's run to be one of the most overrated runs today. I enjoy some of the issues like the Pizza dog one, but a lot of it is a mess, not as clever as they think it is and generally boring. Especially when Kate and Clint split up.
Green Arrow wins for me. Lemire is the sh!t and I love Arrow. (haters can hate all they want, its a good show)
@mrnoital: Well they don't use gifs anyways. Also the most supportive thing I've seen in this thread is for Ollie's chili soo it won't take much.
@feartheliving: okay I'll make some gifs, it might take some time, but for one of his best moments, look at page 2 where someone posted him humming his own theme music while kicking ass
@mrnoital: So my gifs are meh, but that's kicking ass lol?
Ollie, for his chilli making skills alone.
Is it just me or does Elongated Man look like he's stoned off his ass?
@feartheliving: that was just funny, I think these more or less count tho
I'd say that about as agile and accurate as hawkeye
then theres just funny bits(I could use JLU but these are new)
@mrnoital: What's with that ricochet one? It doesn't hit anything. Also that new series screams more Hawkeye or Spider-man then Green Arrow, since when has Ollie been that jokey? I still don't like the talking bow, that just odd.
Hawkeye!
Green arrow sold out in the new 52
Also the "arrow" show is a waste of the character.
A sucessfull waste then...like it or not
@feartheliving: the website messed up, first it showed it, then when I copy it, it doesn't, so I had to make a new one, check it again
I could bring in smallville, shooting bullets and kryptonians kinda wins
@mrnoital: I never watched Smallville. Anyways this is it from me for now. I could also post the Ultimate Hawkeye using his fingernails to kill a guy.
@feartheliving: not in the mood to get in a feats competition, since it would lead nowhere, influence pretty much no decisions, and my laptop(where I keep my digital comics) isn't working right
Hawkeye for 3 reasons
1) Loved him in Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes
2) As far as I know Ollie has only been GA. Clint has been Hawkeye, Ronin, Goliath, and even Captain America(for like a day). This could throw more interesting conditions in the Battle of the Week
3) Hawkeye is the only person to be a member of both the Avengers and the Justice League
Well, Green Arrow is my most hated character of all time so... Hawkeye for sure, better character and Archer.
And somehow, we're not enemies.
Hawkeye!

Look, I have no strong feelings on the show one way or the other, but a success alone cannot be a reliable measure of its merit, nor can its similarities to the source material.
Also, what is meant by selling out? Have GA's politics been toned down? I must admit, I'm not terribly knowledgeable on Ollie.
It let me vote three times. That's three up for Oillie....And alt. accounts...
Thanks for letting us know you're a dirty rotten cheater that hates democracy.
@mrnoital: Wasn't trying to get in a feat thing I thought we were just posting cool things from both characters. I don't do battle threads.
@feartheliving: I'll just post some of my favorite art then
@mrnoital: k4tzm4n usually doesn't do argument of the week when it comes to voting for Character of the Month. He only does them now when it comes to Battle of the Week.
@vandinejd_1991: oh well, either way, those are the reasons i prefer Ollie
@k4tzm4n: You could use lesser known characters alongside the more well-known characters. Same goes for some other user's request to use characters not from the big two. For example, you could use a Star Wars character in a CotM theme about master swordsman. You could also use the TMNT in a theme about ninjas or anthropomorphic animals, Predator and Xenomorphs in an alien theme, and X-O Man-o-War in a theme about armored characters.
@ostyo: I can't say i hate Hawkeye, but I don't find him that interesting.
And I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens to GA that happened with me to the X-Men: I end up falling out of love with him (in the comics anyway) because the writing turns to sh!t.

I really hope your account(s) get suspended. Thanks for tainting any victory for Green Arrow with your douchiness, asshat.
@theblackhood: It was a joke. flagged for insults.
