BLACK CANARY Fan-Art Imagines What Jurnee Smollett Could Look Like In A Comic Accurate Costume

We first met Jurnee Smollett's Dinah Lance in 2019's Birds of Prey, and some new fan-art imagines what the actress could look like decked out in a comic accurate costume for her upcoming HBO Max movie.

Birds of Prey failed to strike a chord with some fans, which was was reflected in its poor box office performance. Despite that, the movie was a critical hit, and one that introduced a lot of great female characters. Among them was Jurnee Smollett's Black Canary, though the team-up movie barely scratched the surface of what the beloved vigilante is capable of.

That looks set to change with the Black Canary movie coming to HBO Max, though, and the project will reunite Smollett with screenwriter Misha Green (they worked together on Lovecraft Country).

No plot details have been revealed, though it's fair to say that the vast majority would like to see Dinah Lance joined by a new version of Green Arrow given their comic book history. Talking of the source material, a newly revealed piece of fan-art gives the superhero a comic accurate costume that we're sure many of you are hoping makes it to the streaming service!

It does a great job of balancing those familiar elements from the comics with realistic additions that mean Black Canary won't look out of place in the DC Extended Universe.

Chances are it will be a while before we see anything official from this one, but stay tuned for updates.

In the meantime, check out this badass Black Canary fan-art below:

Let's be honest, it'll never be comic accurate, it'll be at most a leather jacket and leather trousers. No chance in hell she'll be running around in fishnets.

Thanks, but no, thanks

Looks pretty damn good.

ElricReturns - 9/6/2021, 2:57 AM

I dig it.

This is a good compromise between comics and what's acceptable nowadays. I doubt the costume will have fishnets in any form though, there would be no end to whining from prudes of religious and feminist variety.

@Archgoat - I never heard anyone complaining about this.

braunermegda - 9/6/2021, 5:00 AM

@Spock0Clock - because that is a scene, a brief moment in a 2 hour movie

Looks a lot better than I thought it would. The shoes seem a little off for street warfare (too clunky) but another minor quibble on my part.

Spock0Clock - 9/6/2021, 4:18 AM

I dig it. Actually looks like a costume (and comic-accurate), rather than the random street clothes that DC puts their heroes in half the time.

Considering Smollett based her portrayal on the Injustice 2 Black Canary, perhaps a hybrid-fishnets style may be in order?

HulkisHoly - 9/6/2021, 6:27 AM

@generictheeric - that is such a boring looking costume.

From the series "DC live-action projects that almost nobody cares"

Fantastic costume,from that picture she is gonna have to change her skin colour to look like that.

Change the black jacket to proper blue and the dim gold to a brighter shade and we're in business.
