Jurnee Smollett Really Wants a Black Canary Show, and Yes Please, Absolutely

Given how it was one of the last artifacts of the Before Times earlier this year, it’s hard to say what Birds of Prey’s future as a cinematic franchise is just yet, beyond hoping for more. But hey, at least one of the titular birds has an excellent idea to while away our time waiting…

Birds of Prey Is a Colorful, Explosive Comic Book Extravaganza

Birds of Prey is not a Suicide Squad sequel. It is not DC and Warner Bros.’ follow up to Joker. It’s really not even particularly a comic book superhero movie, outside of the fact that it stars comic characters. Hell, depending on your point of view, whether or not it’s a Birds of Prey movie…

Why the Birds of Prey Are Finally Taking Flight

DC Entertainment is about to achieve something that Marvel Studios hasn’t. When Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) opens on February 7, it will be the first comic book movie starring an all-female superteam. And assuming the CW picks up the Arrow spinoff and Birds of Prey-inspired Green Arrow and…

There’s a Reason Margot Robbie Prioritized Birds of Prey Over Gotham City Sirens

Margot Robbie is one of the most fascinating things about the past decade of superhero movies. She made a name for herself by making Harley Quinn her own, and then subsequently teased the public with hints and proclamations about where her incarnation of the DC character was going to show up on the big screen…

A Short Guide to Everyone Featured in the First Birds of Prey Teaser

Short as the first Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) teaser is, it’s actually chock full of our first looks at basically the entire leading cast of characters.

Batman: The Animated Series Nearly Had a Black Canary/Catwoman Teamup

Dinah Lance made her animated debut in Justice League: Unlimited, but she almost became a part of the DC animated universe well before that—she was slated for an episode of the fabled Batman: The Animated Series. But it was not to be, thanks to mandates that the show needed fewer canaries, and more… well, Robins.…

How a Forgotten DC Comics Story Is Helping Me Write My Favorite Marvel Superhero

More than 25 years ago—damn, I’m old—I read a multi-generational superhero story that showed how the identity of Black Canary moved from mother to daughter. Nowadays, I’m writing a project that is, in part, a multi-generational superhero story that shows how the mantle of Black Panther has been embodied across decades. And that little bit…

DC Comics’ New Black Canary EP is a Haunting, Moody Love Letter to Dinah Lance

70 years ago, Dinah Lance made her debut in DC’s Flash Comics #86 as the Black Canary, a badass femme fatale who infiltrated organized crime syndicates to destroy them from the inside out. In celebration of Dinah’s legacy, DC’s just dropped a new, three-song EP tied to the character’s more modern self. In Brenden Fletcher…

Katie Cassidy Is Returning to Arrow—But Not as Black Canary

Arrow’s fourth season saw actor Katie Cassidy depart the show, as Laurel Lance perished in the line of duty as Black Canary. Although the show has moved on with Laurel’s successor, Cassidy is making a return to the show as a new regular star. But she won’t be playing the Laurel Lance we all said…

Arrow Finally Brings Out the True Black Canary

Ever since Laurel Lance died, Arrow has been tiptoeing around the question of who could carry on the Black Canary mantle. In last night’s episode, we got the answer—and this time, unlike the Lance sisters, she’s as close to the authentic comic book version of Black Canary as you could want. Last week’s episode introduced…

Laurel Lance Is Getting Her Own Black Canary Action Figure

At first I thought it was a little weird that DC Collectibles’ Arrow series didn’t make a Laurel figure — but I’m kind of glad they waited. Instead of a “Laurel Lance, DA, with hamfisted pill addiction plotline action!” toy getting made, we’re getting an awesome Black Canary version of her. Yay! Revealed in a…
