It’s amusing in comics how wearing a blonde wig alters your appearance so much that people can’t tell it’s you when you remove it, like in the case of Black Canary who’s a natural brunette.
But I guess it’s the same conceit that lets Superman hide behind a pair of glasses, or Oliver Queen with his distinctive facial hair hide behind a tiny domino mask.
How many people even know who Diana Lance is and how many of them have met Black Canary? I can believe it.
ReplyDeleteYeah it might work if the secret identity is not famous, but for people like Ollie (a former rich guy) or Clark Kent (who was a newscaster at one point) it wouldn't.
DeleteThe TV reporter period was a bad idea and better forgotten, which I think it has after the various reboots.
