Dinah Lance, known as Black Canary, is a notable character in the DC Universe, recognized for her impressive combat skills and metahuman abilities. Despite her strengths, she struggles with popularity, primarily because she is often overshadowed by other characters, notably her romantic partner, Oliver Queen (Green Arrow). This dynamic relegates her to a supporting role in many narratives, limiting her opportunities to shine independently. Furthermore, her portrayals in live-action adaptations, such as Jurnee Smollett's role in 'Birds of Prey' and the character's controversial depiction in 'Arrow', have not helped her popularity. In 'Arrow', the character's development was muddled, and her relationship with Oliver was altered, which alienated some fans. As a result, Black Canary remains underappreciated despite her potential to be a leading figure in the DC Universe. Advocates for the character suggest that DC should create more solo stories for her to fully explore her depth and capabilities, allowing her to stand out among her peers.
