Thus as a seasoned comic fan...I will just say I like authenticity. I want to see the characters on the big screen protrayed how they look in the comics and cartoons. Marvel does it and they have had consecutive box office success. When I see Black Canary in a movie, I want to be able to say, "that's Black Canary!" You would be surprised how many people in the general public are familiar with that character, but they wouldn't know it by watching the trailer.
Over a decade of DCAU cartoons and Brave and the Bold cartoons have given the general target audience an idea of how Black Canary and to a lesser extent Huntress are supposed to look.

The Arrowverse also featured a comic accurate Black Canary as well for a time.
