So, I'm not a fan of Grace Randolph, but her "sources" are saying that WB are talking about a solo Black Canary movie...
I always thought it was because Margot Robbie took part in the casting process since she's a producer on the movie and probably just didn't want to have another hot blonde on the team. Not that Harley Quinn should have any business being a BoP member, let alone a founding member, but if they were not going to go with the New-52 version of Huntress, they were left with two blond white women on the team. I'm guessing Margot just didn't want that. At least those are my speculations.

Hey, don't get smart.
There are some people who have tan / tinted skin who would not necessarily be considered "non-Caucasian". Referring to those people as "people of color" would be making it sound like they're a minority the same way that a person with red hair is a "minority" simply because their hair color isn't as typical as black hair / brunette hair / blonde hair.
Should "person of color" refer strictly to pigmentation without taking into account heritage?
As others have said, I highly doubt this is her "costume." Looks like civilian attire to me. And while yes, Black Canary's initial look came from the old "biker chick/ bad girl" aesthetic, times change and that image doesn't mean now what it used to mean and for a young woman to adopt that look in the 21st century says something different within the current cultural context. These characters that have been around for more than half a century need to be adapted for modern times to reach a larger audience. Hopefully, however they interpret the modern "bad girl" that Dinah is in this adaptation fits her better than the version they tried in the "Birds of Prey" tv show.
And I don't see how the face-jewelry is less practical than her wearing her long hair out or wearing a choker.

Yeah, "biker chick" is still pretty gods damn common. Anyone who thinks differently has apparently never gone to Bike Week.
I got no issue with Dinah wearing modern fashion, but I still want that to be an accurate reflection of her character. What the actress is wearing in those images is a little too "pop music" when it should be closer to "classic Metallica" yknow?
But again, who knows? Maybe they'll do right by Dinah. We cant say one way or another from a few random photos without context.
I mean, I wouldn't bet on them getting her right, but that's because the DCEU has screwed up too often for me to trust WB. But we dont know.
