Hahahahahaha, she's one of us!! I'm sure that will make Kebab Gud soooooo happy!t:

I figured Simone would be. I don't see how you can look at Black Canary getting stuck with Ollie and not notice the potential for damage to the character. The stuff about the marriage making Ollie a better character doesn't mean anything to me; I've hated Ollie since about the third Winick arc.

Yes, throwing someone's NEW laptop out of a window when they're trying to help is not abusive. Thanks God!!

Please, he's rich. It'd be like your girlfriend throwing your pen out the window: you kind of liked it, but you can always get a new one.

I knew that would come up. It's still abusive. Especially "the laptop or me" comment. She knew she messed up, anyway; she was freaking out when Babs called and thought it was about the laptop. That would have been funny. It would be funnier if someone picked up the laptop and got info out of it that sprocked Ollie up.

 

[Manic]

I'm still waiting for someone to address Dinah having a public identity, and Ollie still running around with a secret identity.

 

[Tropico]

I think it was a BoP where we saw tht people would stare at Dinah while in civvies but not be able to place her as a superhero.

That's great when she's just walking down the street. Hell, it's the basis of how Clark Kent walks around in public.

But Black Canary's real name is public knowledge. Several of her villains, including Lady Shiva, call her "Miss Lance." If Dinah Lance marries Oliver Queen, it won't take long for anyone to put 2+2 together when they see Black Canary fighting crime alongside a man with the same unique blonde vandyke as her husband, nevermind that Winnick likes to write scenes where GA and BC make out in public.

i brought that up a while back in another thread. i totally agree with you, but that's comics. there's always a lot of suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy them.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Whoa, wait, Ollie still has a secret identity? No one's looked at the facial hair that Ollie and maybe 3 other men in the entire world have and thought, "Huh, that seems familiar..."?

no ****. you've got star city's most prominent citizen and one-time mayor with the same look as it's most famous hero and nobody can make the connection? not only that, but he's seen with roy a lot, yet roy went maskless as arsenal, so it's not that difficult to piece that **** together.

Mia is the only person on Earth to ever make that connection.

I hope somebody is literally bowled over at the wedding when they see him alongside Dinah. Like, someone literally goes wide-eyed, screams "HOLY ****, IT'S SO OBVIOUS," and then falls over like Kramer in shock.

 

[sinewave]

are they getting married in civvies or their costumes?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Costumes, I bet. Otherwise it'd probably just be the Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding Special instead of the JLA Wedding Special. That implies that the JLA are attending, and it'd be a bit suspicious for Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Agent Diana Prince, Detective John Jones, and all the other JLA'ers secret IDs to meet up in one place to attend the wedding of some random Star City couple they've ostensibly never met.

i know there was talk about them having it in their costumes in the wedding planner issue, but i couldn't remember which way they decided on. didn't dinah buy a gown? i guess it doesn't matter for her, since her identity is public, but it'd look weird to see her in a gown while marrying a dude in green tights. i think most of the heroes could come up with an excuse for being there, especially bruce, being a socialite and all.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sure most of them could individually, but all of them together? Most of them all live in different cities. Come on, that'd look a bit weird, especially since a lot of them don't even have secret identities. Suppose Geo-Force shows up, for example. The sovereign of Markovia wanted to, what, pay his respects to the mayor of some random, pissant American city on his wedding day? Suspicious, man.

it would be a bit suspicious, but ollie is an internationally known philanthropist. that'll garner him the attention of a lot of different people from around the world and. but, yeah, i definitely see your point. it'll be interesting to see how they pull it off.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think costumes would be the only way to go. Individual secret IDs meeting up at Ollie and Dinah's wedding? Weird. A gaggle of superheroes showing up at fellow superheroes Green Arrow and Black Canary's wedding? Nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[sinewave]

weren't there a mix of costumed and non-costumed heroes at sue and reed's wedding? that's strange.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I suppose. But Reed and Sue and the rest of the FF's IDs are all publically known, so it wouldn't be strange to see superheroes and civilians mixed together. If Ollie's ID is still supposed to be secret, at least, that's where the problems come in.

what i want to know forget the whole costume and non costume thing, if the wedding takes place in the batcave, how in the hell do the villains know where it is

 

[BrianWilly]

That's not the batcave, that's the original JLA cave.

I would've preferred a different artist on this. And, well, a different writer.

 

[Tropico]

Yes, thank goodness they're abusive relationship is over.

 

[Manic]

God damn.

 

[Fledermaus]

When did Ra's and Canary hook up?

 

[Manic]

I don't know if they ever "hooked up" but I know something happened between them that involved Dinah getting dipped into the Lazarus pits and getting back her powers.
