Black Canary: Difference between revisions

* [[Aborted Arc]]: [[Dwayne McDuffie]] initially had plans of Dinah going through confidence issues during his [[Justice League of America]] run, [[Character Development|only for her to develop into a determined leader.]] Unfortunately, McDuffie was pulled from the title and the next writer decided to [[Canon Dis Continuity|ignore most of McDuffie's storylines]] leaving Dinah OOC.

* [[Action Girl]]: When written properly, Dinah is one of the best in [[The DCU]].

* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Dinah Drake, when she was originally given the Canary Cry. Dinah Lance also qualifies, with a lot of attention being paid to her formidable martial arts skills in close combat confrontations where the Canary Cry would do too much damage to be ethical.

* [[Badass Biker]]: Both mother and daughter.

* [[Guys Smash Girls Shoot]]: Inverted with her and Green Arrow.

* [[Irony As She Is Cast]]: In an episode of the Brave and the Bold cartoon, Catwoman mockingly says that Black Canary being gagged is a good thing, as she apparently has a lousy singing voice. In real life, her voice-over actress, [[Grey Delisle]], is a professional singer.

** There were also several references to the awful Eighties costume in the [[Gail Simone]] run on ''[[Birds of Prey]]''.

* [[Judd Winick]]: Writer on ''Green Arrow/Black Canary''. Widely considered to be a prime example of [[Did Not Do the Research]], regarding Dinah's character and background before he attempted to write her.
