Talk:Black Canary

message: NShould she be listed as a Fictional Blonde, her hair is dyed if I recall correctly. She's really a brunette.

message: This paragraph-"Following the retroactive continuity change in 1983, Black Canary became two distinct characters, mother and daughter, named Dinah Drake Lance and Dinah Laurel Lance. Dinah Lance would become the current Black Canary. Some references, notably those in James Robinson's Starman series, would attempt to distinguish the two Canaries further by referring to the first as 'Diana', but more recent accounts have confirmed 'Dinah' as the elder Canary's given name."-is somewhat unclear, especially the second sentence.  I assume that it is meaning to say that Dinah Laurel Lance is the current Black Canary, but Dinah Lance describes both characters.  I don't know anything about the character besides what is on Wikipedia, so I am unqualified to make any changes. 205.241.56.14 (talk) 01:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Unclear paragraph

message: I removed the following paragraph from the entry, which is speculative ("some fans"?):
Oracle and Black Canary behave so affectionately towards one another that some fans have begun to speculate as to the possible lesbian undertones of their relationship, much to the dismay of older, purist fans.--Galliaz 01:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Deleted paragraph

message: How is she rated as one of the top when she couldn't beat Strike? Nightwing defeated him, and defeated him rather easily. Another thing In BOP Black Canary admits that Nightwing is better than she is in the fight with "The Brothers Silk." And you people still can't give Nightwing his credit as being one of the best DC martial artist alive.
:It's a conspiracy, I tell you. Does anyone think Nightwing isn't good? But Black Canary has been training for a year or two with Lady Shiva and with the people who trained her. --Chris Griswold 23:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Trying to make this category a little more consistent.  (By the way, if your copy of the Brothers Silk story has her admitting that, you must have added a line in with a pencil.  Nothing like that is ever said in the book).D1Puck1T 19:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infinite Crisis 

message: I feel that a very small paragraph could be included about various uses of the Canary Cry over the years, although I lack the expertise necessary for writing it. I do recall Mr. Terrific having her knock out all the guards in the White House by altering the pitch of her cry, during a JLA-JSA crossover, and (if memory serves), in Batgirl her cry was sufficient to destroy a stone dam or something along those lines.D1Puck1T 07:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Since the editor suggesting the split hasn't bothered...
I have to say No, this article doesn't need to be split. It does need a good pruning to remove the bloat of plot. But other wise, if we are going to treat this as an element in works of fiction, then the "mother/daughter" need to be kept together to show how, when, and why DC decided to add the retcon in. This isn't a place to recreate fan focused materiel - that would be DC Database.

thread_title:  Split 

message: In the article it states that contrary to popular belief Canary wasn't raped during her torture. The citation for this is another wiki (which seems like an inappropriate source). That wiki has the same statement, but with the tag "citation needed." I think the whole statement should be dropped, but I figured I'd put it up here first to see if anyone can find an actual citation for it. In the meanwhile I'm going to remove that citation and put "citation needed" on the statement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.22.7.56 (talk) 13:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canary not raped citation 

message: the Black Canary page seems a little cluttered and I made an in other page which stands on its own right out of the information given here. I think with some reworking and adding the Black Canary in other media page could really work out and lighten the Black Canary page a little bit.
