For those of you who want to see the evidence that Andrew Kreisberg has no idea what he is doing with Green Arrow/Black Canary following my review, somebody got the offending pages from the new Green Arrow/Black Canary posted along with scans from the Birds of Prey that show...
1. Dinah does have the fine control to destroy a pool ball in someone's hand without hurting the hand, using the Canary Cry.
2. Dinah does, in fact, carry lock-picks in her gloves and knows how to use them!
Read it and weep, kids.
I am supposed to feel soiled right?
ReplyDeleteSlightly unclean for one reason or another, yes...
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI also like how in one frame they are wearing manacles, in others they have regular handcuffs on. Seriously? WTF?
I am so glad I don't buy this.
...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I didn't notice that...
I can't believe anybody else failed to notice that!
Good job!
In retrospect, this does put a lot of the artist's comments in perspective. Apparently he went off on a tangent on the DC Comics boards and said something to the effect of the line from The Producers - "You are the audience. I am the writer. I outrank you!" - to all the Dinah fans complaining about how horribly powered down/dumbed down Dinah was.
It really just jumped out at me, I saw it before I read anything.
ReplyDeleteBut tell me if I am wrong here... Does the damn thing switch hands too? It looks like the manacle is on the left, but when it is a handcuff it is on the right side?
No, your observation is spot-on. Ollie is indeed shackled by the left hand.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it looks like Dinah used her own handcuffs on Ollie's right hand. Which makes a little more sense, except that...
1. Dinah carries handcuffs but not lockpicks?!
2. Cupid didn't think she had to chain both Ollie's hands?
