'''Black Canary''' ('''Dinah Laurel Lance''') is a [[superheroine]] appearing in [[American comic books]] published by [[DC Comics]]. Lance is one of two women under the alias [[Black Canary]] within the [[DC Universe]]; she is [[Black Canary (Dinah Drake)|Dinah Drake]]'s daughter and successor of the superhero mantle in the post-''Crisis'' narratives. She is commonly affiliated with the ''[[Justice League|Justice League of America]]'' and the archer superhero [[Green Arrow]], professionally and romantically. She is also a founding member of the [[Birds of Prey (team)|Birds of Prey]]. |
|||
Black Canary has been adapted into various media, including [[DC Universe Animated Original Movies|direct-to-video animated films]], video games, and both live-action and animated television series, featuring as a main or recurring character in the shows ''[[Birds of Prey (TV series)|Birds of Prey]]'', ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', ''[[Smallville]]'', ''[[Batman: The Brave and the Bold]]'', ''[[Young Justice (TV series)|Young Justice]]'' and ''[[Arrow (TV series)|Arrow]]''. In ''Birds of Prey'' she was played by [[Rachel Skarsten]], and in ''Smallville'' she was played by [[Alaina Huffman]]. In ''Arrow'' and the [[Arrowverse]] shows the character [[Laurel Lance (Arrowverse)|Laurel Lance]] was portrayed by [[Katie Cassidy]]. Dinah Lance made her cinematic debut in the [[DC Extended Universe]] film ''[[Birds of Prey (2020 film)|Birds of Prey]]'', portrayed by [[Jurnee Smollett-Bell]], who will reprise the role in an upcoming [[HBO Max]] movie focusing on the character. |

===Post-Crisis=== |

[[File:DETECTIVE COMICS (1937-) 554.jpeg|200px|thumb|left|upright|alt=Blonde woman jumping through hoop held by two other superheroes|Cover of ''[[Detective Comics]]'' #554 (September 1985); art by [[Klaus Janson]], which homages [[Carmine Infantino]]'s cover for ''[[Flash Comics]]'' #92 (February 1948).]] |
|||
Following the universe-altering events of ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' (concluding in March 1986), Black Canary's history was revised again. The mind-transplant story of 1983 was discarded; in this version of the story, the present-day Black Canary is Dinah Laurel Lance, who inherits the identity from her mother, Dinah Drake Lance. Although some references (for example, those in [[James Robinson (writer)|James Robinson's]] ''[[Starman (Jack Knight)|Starman]]'' series) tried to distinguish the two Canaries by calling the first "Diana", recent accounts have confirmed Dinah as the mother's given name. |
|||
The two Canaries' origin stories were told in full in ''Secret Origins'' #50 (August 1990). In this story, Dinah Drake is trained by her Irish father, detective Richard Drake, intending to follow him on the Gotham City police force. When she is turned down, her disillusioned father dies shortly afterwards. Determined to honor his memory, Dinah fights crime and corruption by any possible means. She becomes a costumed vigilante, using her inheritance to open a flower shop as her day job.<ref name="dc-ency">{{Cite book|last= Beatty|first= Scott|author-link= Scott Beatty| contribution= Black Canary|editor-last= Dougall|editor-first= Alastair|title= The DC Comics Encyclopedia|page= 50|publisher= [[Dorling Kindersley]]|year= 2008|location= London, United Kingdom|isbn = 978-0-7566-4119-1}}</ref> Dinah marries her lover, private eye Larry Lance, and several years later their daughter, Dinah Laurel Lance, is born (''Birds of Prey'' #66 (June 2004) would establish that they took the name "Laurel" from a librarian Dinah befriended during a case<ref>{{cite comic| writer= [[Gail Simone|Simone, Gail]]|penciller= [[Michael Golden (comics)|Golden, Michael]]|inker= Manley, Mike; Hanna, Scott; Golden, Michael|story= Sensei & Student Part Five Murder & Mystery|title= [[Birds of Prey (comics)|Birds of Prey]]|issue= 66|date=June 2004}}</ref>). |
|||
The younger Dinah has her own "canary cry"—in this version, the result of a [[metagene]] absent from both her parents—which (unlike the Silver Age Black Canary) she can control.<ref name="dc-ency"/> Growing up surrounded by her mother's friends in the disbanded JSA (seeing them as uncles and aunts), she wishes to be a costumed hero like her mother, but the elder Dinah discourages her, feeling that the world has become too dangerous for her daughter to succeed. Regardless, Dinah finds fighters (including former JSA member [[Wildcat (DC Comics)|Wildcat]]) who help her hone her skills, and after years of dedication and training, she assumes the mantle of Black Canary despite her mother's opposition. Like her mother, Dinah operates out of Gotham, with a day job in the family floral business. |
|||
In an early ''Birds of Prey'' issue, writer [[Chuck Dixon]] has Dinah briefly married and divorced at a young age. Although ex-husband Craig Windrow seems to need her help, he actually wants to reconcile after he embezzles from the mob.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= [[Chuck Dixon|Dixon, Chuck]]|penciller= Giordano, Dick|inker= Faucher, Wayne|story= |title= Birds of Prey: Wolves|issue= 1|date= 1997}}</ref> Dinah's early marriage and ex-husband are not mentioned again until the 2007 ''Black Canary'' [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]]. |
|||
After joining the Justice League, Dinah meets [[Green Arrow]] (Oliver Queen). Although she dislikes him at first, they become romantically involved despite their age difference; opposite the earlier depiction, in the [[Modern Age of Comic Books|Modern Age]] stories, Oliver is considerably older than Dinah. Dinah is a League member for about six years, including a brief stint with [[Justice League International]] (JLI, which she helps found). After her mother's death from radiation poisoning received during her battle with Aquarius, Dinah feels that her time in the JLA is over. She moves to Seattle with Green Arrow and opens a flower shop, Sherwood Florist. |
|||
When Dinah belonged to the JLI during the 1980s, she wore a new costume, a blue-and-black full-body jumpsuit with a bird motif and a slightly looser fit instead of her traditional, skin-tight black outfit with fishnet stockings. The change was poorly received and short-lived, and later artists restored her original look.<ref name="Kingman">{{cite journal|last = Kingman|first = Jim|title = The Ballad of Ollie and Dinah|journal= [[Back Issue!]]|issue = 64|pages = 10–21|publisher = TwoMorrows Publishing|date = May 2013|location= Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref> |

When former Batgirl [[Barbara Gordon]] is [[Batman: The Killing Joke|seriously injured]] by the [[Joker (character)|Joker]], she reestablishes her crime-fighting career as Oracle, information broker to the superhero community. After briefly working with the [[Suicide Squad]], she forms a covert-mission team. Since Barbara thinks that of all the superheroes Dinah has the most potential, Oracle asks Black Canary to become an operative.<ref name="dc-ency"/><ref>Manning, Matthew K. "1990s" in Dolan, p. 286: "Oracle and Black Canary were finally rewarded with their own ongoing series by scripter Chuck Dixon and penciller Greg Land."</ref> |
|||
Black Canary reinvents herself, trading her blonde wig for bleached blonde hair. Her relationship with Oracle is rocky at first, since her impulsiveness clashes with Oracle's organization. Gradually, they learn to work together and became friends. When Oracle flees from [[Blockbuster (DC Comics)|Blockbuster]], Dinah rescues her and meets Barbara Gordon,<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Dixon, Chuck|penciller= [[Jackson Guice|Guice, Jackson]]|inker= Guice, Jackson|story= Part Four: The Deep|title= Birds of Prey|issue= 21|date= September 2000}}</ref> deepening their friendship. |
|||
''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' gives Earth a new timeline, with [[Wonder Woman]] again a founding member of the Justice League. In a Week 51 back-up feature of ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'', Black Canary is at the battle which forms the League. Its core is Black Canary, [[Hal Jordan|Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)]], the [[Martian Manhunter]], the [[Flash (Barry Allen)]], [[Aquaman]], [[Superman]], [[Batman]] and Wonder Woman. In the 2007 ''Black Canary'' miniseries, she and Green Arrow join the Justice League after its founding and are tested by founding member Batman early in their membership. |
|||
During publication of the ''Infinite Crisis'' limited series, most [[DC Universe]] comic books advanced one year. After this "[[One Year Later]]" jump, Dinah trades life experiences with [[Lady Shiva]] to soften the warrior and begins a harsh training regimen in an unidentified Vietnamese [[shanty town]]. The regimen replicates Shiva's early life and training, and Shiva assumes Dinah's role in Oracle's group. |
|||
During ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis|Countdown]]'', several series include tie-ins and run-ups to the wedding of Dinah and Ollie.<ref>Cowsill, Alan "2000s" in Dolan, p. 331: "Two of DC's best-loved characters were married in the ''Green Arrow and Black Canary Wedding Special'' - or so it seemed."</ref> ''The Black Canary Wedding Planner'' details the preparations; in ''Birds of Prey'' #109, Dinah and Barbara discuss the wedding (and Ollie). ''Countdown: Justice League Wedding Special'', and ''Justice League'' #13 deal with the bachelor and bachelorette parties. A plot thread throughout is a plan by the [[Injustice League]] to attack the wedding. |

Dinah resigns as JLA chairwoman after the team's confrontation with the [[Shadow Cabinet (comics)|Shadow Cabinet]]. After learning that Ollie began his own Justice League with Hal Jordan, she confronts him when he arrives at the Watchtower to warn her of an attack on the world's superheroes.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= [[James Robinson (writer)|Robinson, James]]|penciller= [[Mauro Cascioli|Cascioli, Mauro]]|inker= Cascioli, Mauro|story= The Beginning|title= [[Justice League: Cry for Justice]]|issue= 1|date= September 2009}}</ref> [[Prometheus (DC Comics)|Prometheus]] arrives and attacks the team, severing Red Arrow's arm and maneuvering Dinah into the path of an energy bolt fired by [[Mikaal Tomas]].<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Robinson, James|penciller= Cascioli, Mauro; [[Scott Clark (artist)|Clark, Scott]]|inker= Cascioli, Mauro; Clark, Scott|story= The Lie|title= Justice League: Cry for Justice|issue= 5|date= January 2010}}</ref> After Prometheus is defeated, he destroys [[Star City (comics)|Star City]] with a teleportation device.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Robinson, James|penciller= Clark, Scott|inker= Clark, Scott|story= The Game|title= Justice League: Cry for Justice|issue= 6|date= March 2010}}</ref> In their search for survivors, Dinah and Ollie discover the bloody body of Roy's daughter, Lian.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Robinson, James|penciller= Cascioli, Mauro; Clark, Scott; [[Ibraim Roberson|Roberson, Ibraim]]|inker= Cascioli, Mauro; Clark, Scott; Roberson, Ibraim|story= Justice|title= Justice League: Cry for Justice|issue= 7|date= April 2010}}</ref> Dinah goes to Roy's hospital bedside with [[Donna Troy]] to break the news about his daughter when he emerges from his coma.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Robinson, James|penciller= [[Mark Bagley|Bagley, Mark]]|inker= Hunter, Rob; Alquiza, Marlo; Wong, Walden|story= Team History|title= Justice League of America|volume= 2|issue= 41|date= March 2010}}</ref> |

When Ollie returns to normal, it is discovered that he secretly murdered Prometheus and left his body to rot at his headquarters. After Barry Allen and Hal Jordan confront Ollie and Dinah with the news, Ollie escapes. Dinah, Hal and Barry search the ruins of Star City for him, finding him looking for one of the men who worked for Prometheus.

In ''[[Brightest Day]]'', Dinah returns to Gotham in a relaunch of ''Birds of Prey'' with [[Gail Simone]]. In ''Birds of Prey'' #1 (July 2010), she is sent to save a child with [[Lady Blackhawk]]. After receiving a call from [[Barbara Gordon|Oracle]], the team (including [[Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)|Huntress]]) is reunited.

While the duel is understood to be a matter of duty and honor, Dinah brings to their attention that there was no time mentioned and for now the fight must end, and to be resumed at a later time. While White Canary is displeased, Shiva sides with Black Canary and the Birds and the fight is over.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Simone, Gail|penciller= Lee, Alvin; Melo, Adriana|inker= Purcell, Jack; Mayer, J.

===2010s and 2020s=== |
|||
During DC's [[The New 52]] era which began in 2011, Black Canary was portrayed as a single character with a metahuman Canary Cry resulting from government experiments. However, DC later began to row back on controversial New 52 continuity changes with its [[DC Rebirth]] initiative, with the narrator of [[Geoff Johns]]' ''DC Rebirth'' #1, [[Wally West]] lamenting, from outside the universe, on how Black Canary and Green Arrow hardly know each other any more, when they should be husband and wife, as a result of sinister alterations to the timeline. The comic shows the pair briefly meeting, by chance, and then separately staying up at night, contemplating what is missing from their lives. They meet again in ''Green Arrow Rebirth'' #1, and instantly hit it off. In the ensuing ''Green Arrow'' series, Dinah is the first to notice something awry with Oliver's apparent suicide (in fact, an attempted assassination by [[Shado (comics)|Shado]]) and disappearance. She is also a current member of the Birds of Prey, as well as the Justice League of America. In ''Birds of Prey: Rebirth'', it is revealed that Dinah and Barbara ([[Batgirl]]) have been good friends for a few years now, while just meeting Helena Bertinelli (Huntress). In ''Justice League of America'', she is seen fighting Caitlin Snow ([[Killer Frost]]), and is later recruited by [[Batman]] due to the skills she possesses. |
|||
Following subsequent continuity-restoring events in ''[[Doomsday Clock (comics)|Doomsday Clock]]'' and ''[[Dark Nights: Death Metal]]'', the current Black Canary is re-established as being the daughter of her Golden Age predecessor, fully reversing the controversial New 52 changes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/batman-black-canary-mother-infinite-frontier/|title=Batman: Urban Legends Quietly Revives a Major Justice Society Legacy|work=[[Comic Book Resources]]|last=Herbison|first=Andrew|date=19 August 2021|accessdate=19 August 2021}}</ref> |

Although depictions of Black Canary have varied over the years, she is often portrayed as a prodigious hand-to-hand combatant, having mastered styles such as [[Aikido]],<ref>''Black Canary'' vol. 3 #2 (September 2007)</ref> [[Boxing]], [[Capoeira]], [[Hapkido]], [[Judo]],<ref>''Green Arrow'' vol. 2 Annual #1 (September 1988)</ref><ref>''Batman: Secret Files and Origins'' #1 (October 1997)</ref><ref name="BlackCanaryMartialArts">''Birds of Prey'' #58 (October 2003)</ref>[[Jeet Kune Do]], [[Jujutsu]], [[Karate]], [[Kung Fu]], [[Krav Maga]], [[Muay Thai]], [[Savate]], [[Taekwondo]], [[Okinawan martial arts|Shuri-te]],<ref name=BlackCanaryMartialArts /> [[Wing Chun]],<ref>''JSA'' #14 (September 2000)</ref> and [[Wrestling]]. She has been trained by other top-tier fighters, such as [[Wildcat (DC Comics)|Wildcat]], [[Lady Shiva]], [[Cassandra Cain]], and [[Wonder Woman]], as well as having bested [[Batman]], from time to time, in hand-to-hand combat. In addition to her martial arts skills, Black Canary has been depicted as an expert motorcyclist, gymnast, covert operative and investigator. She is also an excellent leader and tactician, having served as the field commander of the Birds of Prey and the leader of the Justice League and League of Assassins for a time. |
|||
Her superpower, the canary cry,<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Conway, Gerry|penciller= Tanghal, Romeo|inker= Colletta, Vince|story= Gravitational Boom-a-rang|title= [[World's Finest Comics]]|issue= 262|date= April–May 1980}}</ref> allows her to create ultrasonic vibrations whenever she screams, allowing her to severely damage both organic and inorganic objects. Her canary cry has been depicted as having ten-fold the capabilities of most [[sonic weapons]] and has even been depicted as breaking metals and having the resonance to affect and shatter the Earth.<ref name="Birds of Prey"/> During the New 52 era, Black Canary learned how to use her cry to glide and propel herself across long distances by screaming downwards.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= Swierczynski, Duane|penciller= Foreman, Travel|inker= Foreman, Travel|story= Heat Seekers|title= Birds of Prey|volume= 3|issue= 10|date= August 2012}}</ref> Due to this reliance on speech, she is often bound and gagged by villains as a means of incapacitation. Due to the sheer strength of her abilities, Black Canary often relies on her martial arts skills instead, preferring to use her canary cry only during urgent situations, such as against superpowered opponents. |
|||
The origin of Black Canary's canary cry has been retconned over the course of her character history, with it being originally depicted as magical in origin due to being cursed by the Wizard. Later, the cry is depicted as an inborn [[metahuman]] ability. During the New 52 era, her ability was said to result of human experimentation by the executive leaders of Team 7, involving her being treated with genes from an alien girl named Ditto.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= Fletcher, Brenden|penciller= [[Annie Wu (artist)|Wu, Annie]]|inker= Wu, Annie|story= Speed of Life|title= Black Canary|volume= 4|issue= 3|date= October 2015}}</ref> |
