Artist Otto Schmidt shared his rendering of all of DC hero Black Canary's outfits in one ambitious image on Twitter.Black Canary has worn a multitude of outfits over the years in the comics, as pictured in Schmidt's art. Despite minor variations, the bodice, jacket and boots have largely stayed the same over the years. While her legs appear bare in the image, Black Canary usually wears fishnet tights, although these are nearly invisible in Schmidt's piece.
Black Canary has a long comics history that started in 1947. The mantle has been taken up by two individuals over time: Dinah Drake was the first Black Canary and her daughter, Dinah Laurel Lance, took up the title after Crisis on Infinite Earths. Mother and daughter share the superpower of the "canary-cry," a sonic scream that can shatter objects and kill assailants. In addition to the scream, both women are trained in advanced martial arts.
Both versions of Black Canary have been adapted in other forms of media. Both appeared on the CW's Arrow as well as in the DC animated universe. Dinah Lance recently made her feature film debut in Birds of Prey.
