BLACK CANARY Writer Misha Green Seemingly Hints That Dinah Lance Will Don A More Comic-Accurate Costume BLACK CANARY Writer Misha Green Seemingly Hints That Dinah Lance Will Don A More Comic-Accurate Costume

We recently learned that Misha Green had been enlisted to pen the script for the Birds of Prey HBO Max movie, and the Lovecraft Country creator has now hinted that Dinah may don a comic-accurate outfit.

The trades recently confirmed that a Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) spinoff focusing on Black Canary is in the works for the HBO Max streaming service, and writer Misha Green now appears to have dropped an intriguing hint about the movie during a Twitter Q&A.

Though Cathy Yan's 2020 release proved to be divisive (critics liked it for the most part, but fans were less impressed), Jurnee Smollett's Dinah Lance was seen as one of the major highlights - even if she didn't quite resemble her comic book counterpart.

Lance donned several different outfits during the film, but none of them really so much as paid homage to her signature look in the comics. However, that might just be rectified for her next DCEU appearance.

When Green was sked if she liked biker jackets and fishnets (staples of Canary's ensemble), she responded with the following Tweet.

This doesn't confirm anything, of course, but that winking emoji could certainly be taken as an indication that Green knows more than she's willing to divulge at this time.

We still know very little about Black Canary, but Green Arrow fans are hoping Warner Bros. uses the opportunity to introduce a new version of Oliver Queen, and there are rumors that Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Huntress might also put in an appearance.

There's a decent chance we'll get an update on the project at DC FanDome next month.

Birds of Prey was forgettable and bad. I guess Jurnee was alright in it? She used her powers once for like 5 seconds though. Definitely doesn’t warrant a spinoff. Neither did Suicide Squad with Peacemaker. Like a lot of DC stuff that doesn’t stick when thrown at the wall I’d rather they move on and make something more interesting but here we are in the age of HBOMax

She is lovely but every time I see her name I think of Dave Chappelle talking about her Brother

Lol, can you imagine she wins an Oscar or something one day and some of us will be thinking Juicy SmooYay....

@SimplyAz - He was addicted to fame, victimhood, and a need to crush your "enemies" real or not. Nearly shattered his whole family's careers just for attention and sympathy. Culture in decline. Sucks because I always liked the Smollet family. From Jurnee's role on shows, to the whole family's show back in the early 90s. Juicy was even a Mighty Duck. Now he's just a duck.

Yeah it's weird that he was that narcissistic about it, without thinking of the impact it would have.

Didn't realise the whole family had a show

@SimplyAz - Yeah, it was a short lived sitcom called On Our Own. It wasn't a great show. They weren't great actors. But it was the 90s, and it was on TV, so we watched it. That's back when we didn't even have cable in my house.

That's cool.

Mate, I remember the 90's, you watched what you could, when you could, even if you didn't really like it.

Now there's so much good stuff that you don't know what to watch

When I was a kid, I just thought of her as my sister’s aggravating little friend. Now that we’re both grownups… I realize… I’ve never met her.

Too bad the ship has sailed on a more comic accurate depiction unless the Flash movie resets things.

So, who exactly asked for this?

Like the rest of the birds of prey, she barely was recognizable to her comic counterpart. I cannot bring myself to care about this project.

I'll watch it. *shrug* My 'to watch' lists are already bloated as hell, but I can squeeze this and Peacemaker in. 🐥🕊

In all these adaptations, we wanted them to get it right the first time.
The comics never needed several long books to get a uniform/powers/etc once the superhero ball got rolling.

This might be one I skip… never was a big Canary fan. Liked some of the stuff involving the character in the justice league cartoon but mainly from her interactions with wildcat and green arrow.

It's weird how much hate BoP and Jurnee's Black Canary get. Both were fine, far from the dumpster fire some try to portray it as. My only real concern is I thought that Lovecraft Country REALLY dropped the ball with the finale, so I don't have full confidence in Misha Green

Jurnee Smollett is FINE AS HELL (FROM THE NECK UP)

BUT SHE AIN'T GOT THE BODY/BOOTY FOR THE COMIC ACCURATE SUIT.

Not to mention, I don't like her acting abilities.
