One of DC's most popular superheroes is Black Canary; a strong-willed, prodigious crime-fighter whose modern design and deterministic attitude has made her a popular target of cosplay.
Here are 10 cosplayers whose unique talents each helped them craft a perfect rendition of Black Canary. If you'd like to see more of their work, please check out their social media profiles at the provided links!
10 Ladylynn
Our first cosplayer, Ladylynn, brings Black Canary to life with this vivid imagining. The poise is perfect, almost reflective but with a touch of glamour, and it matches the glossy black outfit (crafted by Natty Lou Creations superbly). She gets the essential elements (such as hair and costume) right while bringing a touch of flair to the table to truly showcase her skill.
Ladylynn's confident, heroic stare mesmerizes, and the photo work (by Cesar Vivid Photography) elevates and accentuates this wonderful cosplay.
9 Pokypandas
Cosplayer pokypandas gives us this spot-on imagining of Black Canary, complete with silvery blue jacket and fishnet stockings. The camera work by Eurobeat Kasumi Photography is great. It showcases the cosplayer against several different backgrounds in order to bring out different aspects of her look each time, and the wavy blonde hair and almost smug smile serve to make sure we understand immediately who we're looking at.
Overall, this is an undeniably strong effort worthy of any convention.
8 Caytiecosplay
Here, Caytiecosplay delivers a smooth Black Canary cosplay with a polished aesthetic. The hair is beautiful, styled somewhat similarly to Jurnee Smolett-Bell's in the recent Birds of Prey film adaptation, and the costume looks great; simple but with an almost artistic touch.
Extra details like the gloves and neckband accentuate the character's fashion sense, and the photo is framed perfectly so that the cosplayer is always the main focus.
7 Spiidermom
Cosplayer Spiidermom poses as Black Canary against a striking backdrop, and her cosplay is nothing short of fantastic. Hair is definitely an important element, and the amount of work put into the hair can make or break the final photoshoot. Thankfully, our cosplayer delivers in that department with a fresh blond 'do that's extremely well-fit to her overall facial structure.
The costume looks incredible, and the photography, by Alyson Tabbitha, gives the cosplay a professional feel that takes things to the next level.
6 Chiquitita
Here, Chiquitita makes it clear this isn't her first time cosplaying with her glamorous take on Black Canary, nailing the classic character's signature black leather jacket and loose hairstyle. The textures of the brick background work beautifully with the picturesque lighting, no doubt a benefit recognized by photographer PKsnapsnap.
Meanwhile, striking colors (such as those found in Canary's red lips or her jacket's bluish tints) give the cosplay a feel that makes it stand out among others. For her part, Chiquitita should be considered a top-tier cosplayer.
5 Jawjarrose
Cosplayer Jawjarrose gives us two somewhat different versions of Black Canary; one enthusiastic and ready to fight, donning a stylish black outfit against a futuristic background, and one with a more introspective look, decked out in bluish garb against a vibrant building backdrop.
The two do share some traits, though. Both look exactly like the character, both have the same vivid hairstyle, and both give off an air of confidence - though the one on the right is no doubt more reserved.
4 Danielle Denicola
Clearly, Daniella Denicola is no stranger to cosplaying, and because she has such a high level of experience, she knows exactly how to craft a perfect cosplay from start to finish. The neon blues, pinks, and oranges give her a more modern look, something her well-crafted costume is also quick to assist in.
Her flowing hair and pizazzy poise make the cosplay that much more vibrant, and veteran photographer David Love Photography knows exactly how to capture the overall look and feel that Denicola is going for.
3 OMGCosplay
Here, OMGCosplay's fashionable take on Black Canary gives the character a more modern look with a shiny, almost cyberpunk bodysuit and greenish leather jacket.
The photography helps individual elements such as the hair and eyes stand out against bewitching backdrops, and the cosplayer carries herself with a spectacular, eye-catching radiance.
2 Brooke Wayne
Talented Cosplayer Brooke Wayne definitely achieved her goal of looking like a real-life Black Canary - from the signature outfit, to the stylish copper-blonde? hair, to even the pose and disposition. She mixes things up by posing next to other cosplayers taking on well-known characters - kozijeans as Zatanna and slcgreenarrow as Green Arrow. The camera work, done by John Kim in the first photo and kozijeans in the second photo, is clear, clean and consistent.
Every detail fits into place. Together they make an unbelievably impressive cosplay that's more than deserving of its spot on this list.
1 TeenaTitan
This flashy, fashion-oriented imagining of Black Canary comes to you courtesy of TeenaTitan, and kudos to her for making such an original, expressive cosplay. The backdrops look great; both stand out quite a bit thanks to attractive colors and well-blended textures.
The detail-oriented costume is kind of a modern-retro remix of Canary's classic outfit, and TeenaTitan does a great job of modeling it. Meanwhile, her striking gaze and radiant hair both cap off an exceptional cosplay.
