Black Canary and Batman









Leaving out a lot here, including the part where she finally loses it.




Guess which man?

And then she steals everybody's money and feeds one of the most obnoxious guys his wedding ring.

(Above from issue #3)
So Black Canary and Batman parallel each other in a lot of ways their, as Batman says, "Ruthlessness." Also, he just fed a mugger his own teeth.










(Above from #6)



(# 7)
These issues are collected in All-Star Batman and Robin, Vol 1.

Something cracky I can't take my eyes off of. And sold extremely well.

Oh, Dinah, baby, I'm so sorry. Don't worry. In another couple months you'll be in a Simone-penned story again.

Heh. I was trying to char:____ tag this and I was like which Dinah is this? Gotta pick one or the other, re: our tagging system. Lance or Drake. And then: Hang on! I just, for the first time, realized that Dinah and Tim have the same last names.

That is freaky.

Then eh, I decided here's a pic of her and Batman making out. Not in continuity and, well...

Seriously? You're still looking forward to that? Isn't Simone the one who (a) retired Dinah from heroics to be a stay at home mom hellbent on making sure Sin was normal and (b) just tried to knock-up Diana? That kind of writing strikes me as characterizations that would normally irritate you.

I mean, I suppose a plot point could be them discussing their horribly misguided attempts at motherhood...I'm just surprised you're looking forward to it.

Upon reading the last post, I wasn't quite convinced I like the idea of Canary suddenly being Irish. Nothing against there being an Irish character, but the wild divergence threw me off...yanno? However, after thinking it over, I've come to the conclusion that there are far far far worse interpretations of Black Canary that a poor man's spandex-clad Fiona Glenanne.

I'm sorry, but that "not for the last few days, no" line and "I haven't kissed a SMOKER in WEEKS" always get me laughing. It's like, how many smokers do you usually kiss in a month, Batman? Or has Commissioner Gordon not been very affectionate lately?

I mean, despite his Bruce Wayne playboy persona, I always think of his love affairs as short, very intense and very infrequent. (And that includes Selina, because despite their being "the one" for each other, they're not consistently together.)

It just strikes me as him blatantly lying/exaggerating for the sake of his own ego, here. Which is hilarious, because he's Batman.

In theory, if women in his life knew as much about him as we the audience does, having seen all the facets of him in every incarnation, there might be a lot more women hitting on him. But Batman as he appears here? The dude pretty much lives in his parents' basement a cave, is brutally violent, and kidnapped a boy and told him to eat rats. Not exactly a prize catch, there, Dinah.

I must say, while there's no particular reason for Black Canary to fill the role, there are worse origins for a female vigilante than finally snapping after a long period of being groped and slobbered over by every blue-collar redneck lowlife in Gotham - which means, basically, every man in Gotham, pretty much. Miller, you're slipping; that almost made sense.
And why is the blond guy called 'Dorothy'? What kind of nickname is that, unless, of course, Miller's trying to imply that the two of them are gay, and if they are, then why are they drooling over the hot new barmaid?
