Dinah Lance Dinah Lance is the alter-ego of the superheroine Black Canary. Dinah was a conservative talk show host who worked at the Daily Planet, before joining Oliver Queen's hero team. That team disbanded after Black Canary's and Aquaman's identities were discovered by LuthorCorp but has since re-formed. Dinah has short blonde hair and wears fishnet stockings as the Black Canary. She wears a dark wig while undercover as Dinah. Black Canary has a subsonic scream which generates a powerful sound wave, which can disintegrate arrows, shatter glass and Clark Kent's ears to bleed. This version of Black Canary is based on the Smallville TV series (2001-??) as seen on the CW. - Go to the Smallville Wiki for more on the Dinah Lance
