Black Canary sits atop a motorcycle that features her classic iconographygiving this fan-favorite Justice League hero an enjoyable ride that would shine on the big screen.
Black Canary gets her own Batmobile, complete with her unique logo
Black Canary’s awesome new bike is the perfect upgrade
Batman needs to step aside, because Black Canary’s motorcycle officially puts his Batmobile to shame. Dinah’s new ride fits perfectly with her usual style, as she already wears leather jackets and fingerless gloves that contribute to a hardcore biker vibe. She appears to have followed Bruce’s lead in color-coordinating her Black Canary costume, the way he makes his gadgets fit the bat’s aesthetic, and she painted her symbol on it as well. Plenty of other heroes have sported custom vehicles — Nightwing rides his own motorcycle — but Black Canary is a solid contender for best yet.
Black Canary’s bike is an interesting addition to her arsenal, although she doesn’t need any type of vehicle to support herself. In fact, Dinah is confirmed to be DC’s most skilled fighter, rivaled only by Lady Shiva. Only your fists can carry you through any combat situation, so the motorcycle is less of a necessity and more of a fun bonus. She doesn’t need to go into battle to win, but it makes her look amazing. Hopefully, Black Canary will get the chance to showcase this high-speed upgrade not just in the comics, but in live action as well.
Our take on Black Canary’s epic new journey in DC Lore
Black Canary needs to join the DCU, along with her motorcycle
After appearing in the CW’s Arrowverse and SmallvilleBlack Canary made her long-awaited film debut in 2020 Birds of Prey film. However, there’s still no sign of her in James Gunn’s current plans for the DCU. Since she’s a formidable fighter and an icon of the Justice League, it only makes sense to bring Dinah in as a founding member of the team. Additionally, her latest upgrade should be a staple of her character that will carry over into the films. Black Canary deserves a starring role in the DC cinematic universe, and she better be riding her new motorcycle when she does.
Birds of Prey #18 will be available on February 5, 2025 from DC Comics.
