Yeah. The 'Birds of Prey' TV show was horrible. Not only did fans hate it but Chuck Dixon and Gail Simone tore strips out of it too and it was nothing like the majority of the 'Birds of Prey' comic books. Two of the main problems with the show are the writers never read them until after the show got cancelled (as they admitted in an interview) and instead of making it into a team show they tried to make it a 'Batman' replacement show with the Earth 2 version of the Huntress taking over as the new hero of Gotham. Then they made the Black Canary into a 16 year old girl with psychic powers who had a Mother/ Daughter relationship with Barbara Gordon instead of being best friends the same age who formed the Birds of Prey' and Dinah hardly even had fighting scenes at all 'cause they were too focused on the Huntress which looked ridiculous since originally it was Barbara and Dinah and Dinah did all the fighting and then Gail Simone added the Huntress and Lady Blackhawk to the team along with Misfit and others.
Hopefully we get a proper Black Canary this time. Despite having three in 'Arrow' none of them have been on the same level as the Black Canary in the 'Black Canary' and 'Birds of Prey' comic books and the Black Canary is supposed to be one of the most highly skilled fighters in DC and she can walk into a concert and take down a 100 people without even using her Canary Cry and she saved everybody when she had a broken leg and broken arm. The Black Canary has more powers than just the Canary Cry and the Canary Cry is kinda similar to the Flash’s speed powers in which it can do a number of things and Dinah can control it to the point where she can target certain people from miles away and take them out just like she can with smashing glass windows and in one of the Black Canary comics in the New 52 she practiced on glass windows and there were 4 and she smashed one with it. She can also use it to lift herself high into the sky and has the ability to move objects with her Canary Cry like telekinesis and she could move objects behind people and make them trip over. She can also fly in 'Birds of Prey' and has the ability to read minds. They depowered her and stripped her fighting skills in 'Arrow' and hopefully we get a PROPER Black Canary this time along with a better version of Starling than the one we got in 'Arrow' that was made into a teenage girl.
