I couldn't be there to finish the first fight against Superman. I'm damn sure finishing this one.

Black Canary is a playable character. She is a major character in the Injustice Comic series and Injustice 2 and a member of the Insurgency. She is too the new mentor (alongside Batman) of Blue Beetle.

About Black Canary[]

Dinah Lance was born to Larry Lance, a local police officer, and the original Black Canary, Dinah Drake. Despite how much her mother had hoped otherwise, Dinah pursued the path of the crime fighter at 19 years old, against her mother’s wishes. After she trained under the superhero known as Wildcat, she assumed her mother’s codename and adopted a costume of her own. Unlike her mother, she had the power to perform a “Canary Cry”, a super-powered shriek attack for use against her foes. She later discovered that she possessed this ability as the result of being cursed by the supervillain known as The Wizard, during her childhood. Not long after her start as Black Canary, she became a founding member of the Justice League. She was the one who suggested the name to begin with. It was there that she first met Oliver Queen, A.K.A, Green Arrow, whom she formed a tentative friendship with. Throughout the many years of her tenure in the Justice League, her relationship with Ollie deepened to the point where they had romantic feelings for one another. When Ollie quit the Justice League, Dinah soon followed. Upon discovering that Ollie had a son from a previous relationship, she agreed to help raise him. Sometime prior to the events of Injustice, both Ollie and Dinah later rejoined the Justice League.

Biography[]

Dinah Lance nearly sacrificed everything in her fight against the Regime but was forced to flee before the fight was done. Now, with Batman restoring order, Black Canary has returned home to set things right, vowing to never again silence her Canary Cry.

Injustice: Gods Among Us[]

Though she plays no real role in the story, a picture of Dinah can be seen in Green Arrow's tool kit as he sharpens arrow heads.

Injustice 2[]

Black Canary is first seen waiting for Batman with her husband Green Arrow. She was then sent with Harley Quinn and Green Arrow on two successive missions. The first mission is in which they were sent to stop Scarecrow from shipping a quantity of fear gas to Grodd from a hideout in Slaughter Swamp. They were then confronted by Poison Ivy and later Swamp Thing.

They later invaded Gorilla City where they defeated several foes such as Doctor Fate, Catwoman, Bane, and Gorilla Grodd along with his apes. They were later captured by Brainiac and taken to his ship. They were forced to fight Black Adam and Aquaman in Kahndaq after being mind-controlled by Grodd. They are both freed after Aquaman killed Grodd with his trident.

Powers and Abilities[]

Master Martial Artist: Black Canary's skill level is comparable to Batman's, allowing her to easily take on an entire gang of attackers and emerge victorious.

Injustice 2 - Black Canary Ending

I'd have loved to kick back and savor kicking Brainiac's ass, but I had to rush home. I didn't know if Connor had made it out of the invasion okay. Turns out, I didn't need to worry. The crazy stress of Brainiac's attack activated my son's meta-gene. And if there's one thing you don't wanna mess with, it's a scared, pissed-off three year-old with superpowers. Sure, I love that Connor takes after me. But raising him suddenly got a lot more complicated. I'm just glad to have people around that can help me and Ollie figure this whole thing out...

Costumes[]

Black Canary - Canary's Cry

Trivia[]

  • Interestingly, in story mode and in the Injustice: Gods Among Us IOS game (2013), Black Canary is depicted wearing a domino mask. While this incarnation of Canary is understood to be Dinah Lance, the domino mask is often attributed to Dinah Drake, the first Black Canary. During her first few adventures in the "Golden Age" of comics, Drake wore a domino mask before the mask was scrapped after several issues.
    • However, Batgirl's IOS Support Card, "Birds of Prey", depicts Black Canary without the domino mask. This look is based on Black Canary's current New 52 appearance.
  • Like John Stewart, concept art was created for Black Canary, suggesting that she may have been at one point considered to be a part of the original 24-character roster for Injustice.
  • Vanessa Marshall previously voiced her from Young Justice.
  • When Gorilla Grodd said that that humans would kneel before him, she mockingly said "Kneel before Grodd? That doesn't sound right", this is likely a reference to "Kneel before Zod", the infamous line of General Zod.
  • Both Sub-Zero and Raiden compared Black Canary as their Nemesis Sindel, who had similar abilities to Black Canary, in that both can produce sonic waves by shrieking at high volumes.
  • Black Canary's God palette is reminiscent of Sara Lance's White Canary costume from DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016-present); the character herself is based heavily on the Black Canary.
  • Whenever she fights Green Arrow, their dialogue relates to their married life, whether about who does chores, getting a babysitter, "marriage counseling", or innuendoes.
  • Although the original Black Canary, Dinah Drake, does not physically appear in any injustice media thus far, she is briefly mentioned by Jay Garrick in some of his intro dialogues.
  • In one pre-fight interaction, she will remark “Those rumors have been greatly exaggerated.”, a reference to Mark Twain, who was once quoted as saying ”The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
