Black Canary is a superhero vigilante who fights crime using martial arts and a sonic scream attack. She is one of the greatest fighters in the DC Universe, and also a strong tactical mind. Her costume is an attractive black outfit with fishnet stockings and blonde hair, and she is usually seen riding her motorcycle. There have been two Canaries to share the legacy. Dinah Drake was the original during World War II and the Golden Age of heroes. Her daughter Dinah Laurel Lance would take the position during the Silver Age when she grew old enough. Green Arrow fights alongside her most often as they are romantically involved. She has been a member of the Justice Society, the Justice League, Team Arrow and the Birds of Prey.

Black Canary was created by Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino, first appearing in Flash Comics #86 (1947). Her more recognizable daughter was introduced by Roy Thomas and Chuck Patton in Justice League of America #220 (1983), and was retroactively established to have first appeared in Justice League of America #75 (1969) by Dennis O'Neil and Dick Dillin.
