I miss the Dinah of yore to be honest. New 52 Dinah just isn't as fun.

Was Silk Spectre directly inspired by Black Canary, or do they merely happen to share many qualities in common?

Silk Spectre is supposed to be Nightshade but Moore decided to take inspiration from Black Canary for the legacy aspects as well as Phantom Lady for the character. Originally Posted by PwrdOn

I thought Amanda Conner was going to draw the OGN, guess those delays happened for a reason. That said, I'm okay with the different artist, although Dinah's nose looks a little weird.
With BOP about to be cancelled, I wonder what they'll do with Dinah. I'd be in favor of either a new Black Canary series or a relaunch of Birds of Prey with a new creative team."Tell me there's something better. Go ahead, try."

I'm hoping for a retcon... like everything she thought about her life was a lie, then we can get closer to the pre-52 Dinah. A new BOP would be nice but most likely she will just show up in a JLA book. Originally Posted by Lemon Head

I really hope that if there is indeed a new Crisis in 2015, we get Dinah Lance back.
Definitely will pick it up next time I stop by the comicbook store! Originally Posted by John Venus

Unfortunately, I'm running out of space on my shelf... I'll probably snatch the paperback once it's released. Originally Posted by John Venus

Given how successful her appearance on Arrow was, I wouldn't be surprised if DC went ahead and promoted her to headlining an ongoing. At least that's what I'm hoping for. They do seem to be actively seeking to bring her closer to her tv counterpart by linking her to Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins. It's a better direction than anything they've done with her since the New 52 launched. Originally Posted by Lemon Head

While I certainly do not share Didio's vision on comic book marriage, I don't understand why Black Canary seems to be the only exception when it's clearly bringing her down even when it's not a "happy" marriage per se.
The Birds of Prey without Oracle never really worked, especially the latest iteration of the team with Condor and such. And since bringing Huntress in is apparently out of the question at the moment as one of the Helenas belongs on Earth 2 and the other one is undercover with Grayson, they'd be better off just letting the book cool down for a bit.
