Black Canary (Dinah Drake)
Black Canary (Dinah Drake) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by the writer-artist team of Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino, the character debuted in "Flash Comics" #86 (August 1947) as the first Black Canary in the Golden Age of Comic Books. Strong, mysterious, gutsy and romantic, she has been called "the archetype of the new Film Noir era heroine."

One of DC's earliest super-heroines, Black Canary has appeared as part of the Justice Society of America. She participated in crime-fighting adventures with her love interest (and eventual husband), Gotham City detective Larry Lance. She and Larry are also the parents of Dinah Laurel Lance, who succeeds the former as the Black Canary in the post-"Crisis" narratives. Initially, the character was a hand-to-hand fighter without superpowers who often posed as a criminal to infiltrate criminal gangs. However, since the launch of "The New 52", the two identities of the Black Canary legacy have been merged, with Dinah Drake possessing Dinah Lance's metahuman cry.

Dinah Drake was portrayed by Juliana Harkavy within the "Arrowverse" mainly the show "Arrow".
