However, Clint THOUGHT he was going to Hulk out. Bruce didn't hulk out or was on the verge of it. In fact, he wouldn't have hulked out to begin with. The recent Hulk series established he cured himself. He stated in this comic he hadn't hulked out in almost a year (both series contradict each other) and there was no indication that it would have happened here. Clint says he saw something, but he could easily been mistaken and jumped the gun. After all, he was farther away from everyone else and in a bunch of green trees. He also could have imagined it, especially after Carol has been going on and on about the visions always being correct.
It doesn't matter that he was given instructions. He didn't assess the situation correctly nor did he wait for real confirmation besides just a quick flash. He acted stupidly and killed Bruce. He got off on a crime he committed. That's all there is to it.
