Boy oh boy, Dinah time!!
*Dinah has naturally black hair! She wore a wig originally, but as of being in the Birds of Prey started dying her hair. (See Birds of Prey [2007], issue 100)

  • Dinah was the one to help Roy Harper through his addiction. (See Green Lantern/Green Arrow issues 85 and 86)
  • Dinah Lance married Oliver Queen in the Green Arrow/Black Canary wedding special. This is after the third time he proposed. The first was in The Longbow Hunters, the second in Green Arrow (2001) issue 40 and the third in Green Arrow (2001) issue 75
  • Dinah Lance’s extra ligaments in her vocal chords are what enabled her to have her sonic scream. (See Green Arrow [1989] Annual 2)
  • Dinah Lance first met (and fought) Lady Shiva in Green Annual (1988) Annual 1. Both the meeting and fighting were in friendly terms
  • Dinah saw a therapist after being tortured in the Longbow Hunter. This therapist was Dr. Annie Green. See Green Arrow (1988) issue 1
  • Dinah rescued Ollie from being tortured in the same warehouse where she had been previously tortured. (See Green Arrow [1988] issue 32)
  • Dinah is an extremely skilled hand to hand combatant, there are many examples of this but I’ll say Green Arrow (1988) issue 10 because that’s where the panels I’m looking at right now are from
  • Dinah has scars on her wrists from being tortured (See Green Arrow [1988] issue 7)
  • In the Longbow Hunters issue 1, Dinah says that while she would like to have children she wouldn’t because she’s too afraid of leaving any children she has as orphans due to her line of business
  • Ted Grant (Wildcat) taught Dinah Lance hand to hand combat when she was a child (See Black Canary [1993] issue 1)
  • The first time Dinah Lance went out as Black Canary, she stole her mother Dinah Drake’s Black Canary costume. (See Black Canary [1993] issue 1)
  • Dinah is Lian Harper’s godmother [Source] (Black Canary Friends - Comic Vine) (When I find the panel evidence I will change my citation)

This is all the BC facts I have for now but I may be back later. Happy reading everyone!
