I really miss Dinah's and Diana's friendship. I would love to read book with the both of them, something like World's Finest for Superman and Batman. I also miss Dinah being a founder of the JLA, but I would only want her to be one along with Diana (Like we got for a split second at the end of Infinite Crisis.)

Honestly, I miss Dinah's friendships with EVERYBODY. Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Superman, Zatanna.....she used to be right up there with Dick Grayson in terms of connections in the superhuman community. Now? She's got Batgirl. That's pretty much it.

Seeing her and Ollie and Hal as the trio they used to be in the Injustice comic made me get all nostalgic.

And yes, Dinah SO deserves to be back on the League. As a founding member would be preferred, but I just want to see her once again live up to the success she had in the past.

One of my favorite DC ladies.

Here is a call back to the Golden Age version of her:

I picked up "Birds of Prey: Endrun" and even though the conclusion felt a bit rushed, I had a blast reading it. I'd be all for a Wonder Woman/Black Canary series if it's written by Gail Simone.

You know? The title of this thread and the art we have right now that involve Dinah being depicted as being at least somewhat musically-inclined just got me thinking. Has it ever been established that Dinah actually CAN sing? I've read a lot of her stuff, and I don't think I've ever seen anything mentioned about it.

I personally think it would make sense. Her vocal chords are supposed to be something special, after all. I even think it would be cool if the writers would play a little bit with the Canary Cry and let Dinah learn some new tricks with it. Stuff like being able to perfectly mimic voices would be cool. Maybe even kind of a low-level sonic effect that gives Dinah's voice a somewhat hypnotic quality. Maybe she can't control your mind, but maybe she could "sing you to sleep" or something.

Why hasn't she joined the JL in the New 52 yet? Seriously, she's more than capable and deserving of it. Oh and give her his own book DC, she deserves one of those to. If Green Arrow can get one, then so should Black Canary. At least she gets to be awesome on Arrow.

Yeah she is awesome on Arrow. I'd definitely buy a Black Canary solo book, wouldn't mind her at least being in the JLU book.

Is anyone else planning on buying that Paul Dini Black Canary/Zatanna OGN that's coming out soon?

Yes.

Oh, Dinah! That's why we love you, right there!

So awesome!

Never seen that before but I like it lol.

Like the art

And this as well.

[Rakzo]

Oh my, that's amazingly pretty.

[Primal Slayer]

Love me some Canary. She really should've been part of the JL by now. And I wouldn't mind if she got a solo series even though BOP is basically her book.

I can't speak for the comics but she had a rather big part in the musical episode of The Brave And The Bold.

Yeah, I remembered that episode.

As always, the fact that Brave and the Bold was an intentionally silly show makes me wonder if that is enough to be considered canon.
