[QUOTE=MajorHoy;5597370]Not necessarily.
It just may be there really isn't a call / need for [FONT=Century Gothic]The Birds of Prey[/FONT] at the moment, which may not be such a bad thing until people who don't really know comic books stop assuming Harley Quinn belongs with that group.[/QUOTE]
People who don't follow comics... don't follow comics. So unless we get another film that doesn't feature Harley, I think that ship has sailed unfortunately...

One can hope ;).

As I said before , every now and then I like to go back to the beginning.
Here's Black Canary in her first outing as a solo feature[SIZE=1] (without Johnny Thunder)[/SIZE].
Originally from [B][I]Flash Comics #92[/I][/B] (February 1948) and reprinted in[B][I] Detective Comics #442[/I][/B] (August-September 1974) which is where I first read it:

I remember all the times the pair would get framed for crimes and have to run from the police...

I'm with [B]MajorHoy[/B], I love those old Black Canary stories. I would love to see a [I]Sandman Mystery Theatre[/I] style retelling of them. Or a Netflix's Daredevil style modernization of them.

And still staying with them! I don't think they ever found out. Wild....

Was it ever revealed that Larry Lance had previously been the partner of Dinah's father on the police force prior to Black Canary's origin in [B][I]DC Special Series #10[/I][/B] (1978)?

Look at that bad ass. I can't believe people just want her to be a cog in Green Arrow's story arc. She deserves way more. [I]Black Canary: Unfinished Business[/I] in Secret Origins #50 by Alan Brennert is one of the few stories that had me in tears.

I like to think even Ollie fans would like to see Dinah treated well and kick butt (I know I do).

It's not the fans, it's the writers.
The more I look at the older comics from Hard Travelling Heroes to the Satellite era JLA to Grell's run to Dixon's, the more I think that these two were always meant to break apart at some point and that 21st century are only throwing them back together out of a misguided sense of nostalgia. Nothing I've read has ever sold me on these two as a couple.

I believe Jose Luis Garica-Lopez drew this piece.

I really liked how the Rebirth run handled their relationship :).
