io9 has some great first look pictures of Black Canary’s appearance on Smallville:
Black Canary, one of DC Comics’ coolest heroines, is appearing for the first time in an upcoming episode of Smallville. And it looks as though someone decided to give her a weird Heath Ledger-inspired eye-smudge and a horrible update to her costume, with giant lapels. The only thing they kept was the silly fishnet tights.
I have to say I completely agree. Smallville has done some interesting things, and I have to say I enjoy new imaginings of old characters. But Black Canary is one of my favorites, and I’m rather afraid of what they’re doing. A conservative talk show host? When I heard that rumor I assumed it was too crazy to be true.
There are plenty of pictures under the link for you to check out and see what you think of the new costume and the strange black face make-up.

I’m probably one of the few people that saw potential for the Birds Of Prey TV shows that was on a few years ago. It got off to a rough start, but it had potential.
The re-invented Black Canary from the TV show had promise. I’m not sure about this new incarnation.
I think Smallville is dipping too much into the DC Universe in attempt to keep comic-fans happy with the “90210-type” direction they’ve been going the last couple years.
I’ve learned to never think a rumor is too crazy to be true with Smallville. With those two idiot producers running things, anything is possible, even if it’s completely insane.
