Black Canary Appreciation 2019

[Stromberg]

Smolett-Bell’s version of Canary gets some pre-merchandising love ����


Side note: I wonder if her casting will be viewed as a liability for BOP (and proposed solo film for Black Canary)if the Smollett name continues to be in the news, controversially? Hoping her career remains above that fray.

Between this, the baggage with Winstead and McGregor and many people just not responding well to the asthtetic to the film overall, I'm wondering if they're in crisis mode.

I'm not going through months of Internet stories to prove that I read something that I read. You wanna think I'm a liar or delusional, be my guest. You win.

Actually WB heavily pursued Lady GaGa for the role of Black Canary but she side-stepped because of the physicality.

You can argue whether they're "reputable" or not, but they were apparently right on this. WB seeks bi-racial actresses for Black Canary...they cast a be-racial actress for Black Canary... If they were looking to cast a bi-racial actresses to play Black Canary then it wouldn't make a lot of sense to audition Caucasian actresses for the role.
All these articles we're released in August of 2018...the list of actresses reading for the roles was released a month later. Logic would dictate that these articles we're correct.

Yeah, after they couldn't get Lady Gaga.

You forgot Jamie Comer, Vanessa Kirby and Blake Lively... All of whom, along with Gaga came before they decided to go with someone bi-racial.

I love this!

I just read Green Arrow #50 and I have to say I'm glad Dinah came through in the end, but I was certainly disappointed and felt she was written out of character in contrast to how she was throughout the series before. Also, I'm very curious where this will pick up next and where Dinah and Ollie will go from here.

[Stromberg]

I already liked the look they went with for Jurnee's Dinah and after watching "Underground" I'm really starting to warm to her, I just wish they would release more behind the scene pics or even official pics of the characters. At this point it seems like Huntress is in 2 or 3 scenes in the movie and Dinah is in 2.

Nice find!

So, I tweeted to Gail Simone asking if there was any chance of her returning to the character of Black Canary in some capacity in the near future.

Her response; "Huh...Interesting question."

Kinda wondering what that could mean since she's currently doing Marvel stuff.

I think she’s also doing the Flash Wal-Mart comic. And Plastic Man wasn’t so long ago.

I forgot about the Flash Walmart comic (although hard to know when she wrote that one).

Maybe that's where Dinah will make a guest-appearance? Continuity is lax on that so she could even have the whole Post-Crisis Birds gang.

I see no reason to think she isn't still currently writing it. It's a 12-issue arc, and I think only the first has been released so far. She's probably about mid-way through or so.
