Black Canary Can Answer Birds Of Preys Questions About Dinahs Powers

DC’s Black Canary has a solo movie in the works on HBO Max, and it can address some unanswered questions about the origins of Dinah Lance’s powers following her previous appearance in Birds of Prey. One of the last pre-pandemic tentpole movies to hit theaters, Birds of Prey was all-around well-received in 2020, with Jurnee Smollet’s Dinah Lance emerging as one of its breakout characters. Though the announcement still remains too early for any further casting or production news, Smollet is set to return as Dinah, or Black Canary, in the forthcoming spin-off, with Misha Green as screenwriter.

Birds of Prey saw Dinah as a nightclub singer and replacement driver for Ewan McGregor’s Roman Sionis, aka Black Mask, and in keeping with its street-level story, almost no superpowers were seen throughout the film, with the movie also keeping her backstory veiled, including her relationship with her mother. Dinah mainly relied on her skills as a martial artist in the movie’s action scenes, but finally broke out her famed “canary cry” in the third act battle with the Sionis gang. It was naturally very show-stealing for Dinah’s powers to unleash the equivalent of a small hurricane with her signature ability, but it came with one minor nitpick.

While most superhero movies go out of their way to explain the powers of their heroes and villains through flashbacks and origin stories, Dinah’s canary cry was given virtually no context to speak of in the previous Margot Robbie-focused film. Though it was set up by Dinah shattering a martini glass with her vocal range while singing in a nightclub, it was only addressed in Harley Quinn’s narration in Birds of Prey, with Harley simply saying that Dinah has “a killer voice.” With Dinah now having a solo movie on the way, the Black Canary film can fill in the blanks on her superhuman vocal powers.

Dinah’s ability derives from her possessing a metagene, a genetic mutation granting her the power of her canary cry. Ideally, her movie spin-off will dive into how she first discovered her extreme vocal range and learned to harness it. Birds of Prey’s use of Dinah’s canary cry was clearly meant to be a big moment in the moment’s third act, while the film itself was also (by comic book movie standards) a fairly low-budget one. Now that its actually been shown, Dinah’s movie doesn’t have any legwork to do in familiarizing viewers with the canary cry itself. Instead, it can focus on simply explaining its origins to viewers less versed in Dinah’s comic book origins or her role in the Arrowverse.

Interest in an HBO Max Black Canary movie or TV show emerged among many DC fans soon after Birds of Prey, and with it now officially underway, HBO’s streaming service will be a good home for it. At the same time, Dinah’s use of her canary cry in Birds of Prey was both one of the film’s most memorable moments and one that left some loose ends for more casual moviegoers about the origins of it. With the Black Canary movie now moving ahead for HBO Max, viewers can get more of an idea about the origins of her “killer voice.”
