I personably prefer the separate mother and daughter.

With the mother being dead. So writers are less tempted to kill off present day Dinah.

I do hope that in 2021 DC will make it clear whether there was a "Golden Age" Black Canary and if/how she's related to the present-day Dinah.

I wouldn't hold your breath...

I've always liked this image. Dinah's Action Comics Weekly stint may have been mediocre at best, but the art was good (albeit a bit of an acquired taste).

I always thought the jacket looked better when Dinah's not rocking a leotard that goes all the way up to her neck. The choker/jacket combo works best for me.

I'll be honest, I'm sad to see the Rebirth look going away, but outside of her stint in the '80s, Dinah's always been rocking a solid look.

Hoping she and Ollie open up a flower shop again when DC launches Green Arrow/Black Canary!

What? I can hope.

Agreed! I could just post pics of my favorite variations all day

Happy New Year to the Black Canary .

So do I. It's a cool origin story to have and not one that many others have in DC.

I think more could be done with the Florist-secretly-being-a-superhero angle of the character:

I like how Dinah Drake was raised by her police detective father while Dinah Laurel Lance was raised by her superhero uncle and aunts:

Dinah Drake seems to have been more of a detective while Laurel was a more two fisted character.

Like this scan. The look of ferocity.

Honestly, I think those Golden Age tales are the highlight of Black Canary's long career. The stories were very moody and Dinah was a very strong character. I'm not fond of the singer angle.
