I recently read an article about the new CW show Arrow and it mentioned how they are making that universe as a non-power universe. Which means that Dinah Lance will not be donning the fish nets as Black Canary. This made me think about how Dinah Lance has been represented in other shows. I am a big fan of Black Canary and I have found myself disappointed with how she is represented in live action tv shows. In animated shows she is still kick butt but the only live action show that she wasn't bad was Smallville. The show itself had problems but Black Canary wasn't too bad. Birds of prey had her mother having the sonic scream while she had telepathy, and now in Arrow she has no powers whatsoever.
Anyone else unhappy about how she is represented in live action tv shows and do you think the CW will change the show to allow her to become Black Canary?
