Pre Nu 52, the only thing missing was for either of them to declare their love for one another:
Whats funnier is that Dixon is a homophobe and he practically started this ship in his BOP run. Even Gail Simone was just building on what Dixon established in his prior run.
Simone was actually going to throw in a line about how Dinah wasn't 100% straight but it got misprinted .
Yeah, but in Dixon's case he actually gave them some depth and meaning. In his case, he may have very well intended it to be a deep friendship but didn't expect people to read it as lesbian subtext.
meh people get subtext from the slightest kindness from another character. Him writing their deep friendship is probably what is helping Black canary to now be included in the upcoming batgirl movie

I think it's definitely a problem when people don't view friendship as a spectrum and every deep friendship has to somehow be romantic or sexual in nature.
Though I think some relationships are set up in a way that it can easily veer into the direction of a full blown romantic relationship.
true dat sir
I definitely think Greg Land being on art made any potential subtext become a life of its own
