She participated in crime-fighting adventures with her love interest (and eventual husband), Gotham City detective Larry Lance. She and Larry are also the parents of Dinah Laurel Lance, who succeeds the former as the Black Canary in the post-Crisis narratives. In the character's earliest stories, she was introduced as a hand-to-hand fighter without superpowers who often posed as a criminal to infiltrate dangerous gangs. For a number of years following DC's 2011 The New 52 initiative, Black Canary was briefly portrayed as one character, before her mother-and-daughter dynamic was restored to continuity. A character named Dinah Drake was portrayed by Juliana Harkavy within the Arrowverse mainly the show Arrow. Separately, Alex Kingston portrayed Dinah Lance, Laurel and Sara Lance's mother. Dinah Drake's role as the first Black Canary, who hands on the role to Dinah Laurel Lance is adapted into Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Laurel's sister. (en)

Sin embargo, desde el lanzamiento de The New 52, las dos identidades del legado de Canario Negro se han fusionado, y Dinah Drake posee el grito metahumano de Dinah Lance. Dinah Drake es interpretada por Juliana Harkavy dentro del Arrowverso principalmente en el programa Arrow. Por separado, Alex Kingston interpretó a Dinah Lance, la madre de Laurel y Sara Lance. El papel de Dinah Drake como la primera Canario Negro, que le entrega el papel a Dinah Laurel Lance, se adapta a Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), la hermana de Laurel. (es)
