Black Canary's sonic scream is magic in nature.

Writers like to say things, sure, but until that keeps happening it's just hearsay-- kind of like Damage being stronger than Superman or Wonder Woman. It's going to take more than jobbing in an issue to convince me otherwise-- and frankly, I hate the idea of Dinah being that strong. It doesn't feel organic to her character at all. Her strength is from her training and skill with the cry being something strong she neglects and doesn't really need.
Having her be able to scream a nuclear-level blast is just dumb, and I've never really seen it actually anywhere near that strong.
I guess just like Superman/Flash having a race, Supes and Canary will have to have a screaming match.
Black Canary's screams are magic now? Ah magic, the go to when something should challenge Superman. Next we'll learn that Dinah brushes her teeth with Kryptonite flavored toothpaste.
I'd like to think that Canary pulls her punches like Superman. That said, I wouldn't mind if her at her loudest can disorient Superman for a bit (i.e. buy time)
Because of how sound is measured, 300 dB is between 100 to 1,000,000 times louder than a nuclear explosion.
Edit: Incase anyone was wondering what is comparable to a 300 dB noise, that's Tungaska meteor territory. So bye-bye city and anything within 830 square miles I guess...

Not really, at least in my opinion. Kryptonians are not only invulnerable through and through, and they sundip. Given that the sound within the sun is vastly louder than anything possible on Earth, I doubt any Kryptonian would be in the least bit inconvenienced by it.
That said, I can recall one instance where it did work, on Power Girl in Gen Lost. That one had all sort of wrong associated
with it, (given that she can take the noise in the sun, why would she be effected by a much less intense sound generated by a Rocket Red). And it's been used on SM as well. Don't know about SG. Point is, given their other powers, it makes no sense.
Then again, neither red suns nor Kryptonite really make much sense either as weaknesses.
