ok im deleting my pointlessly confrontational tags and just making my own post: its always so weird to see people count Longbow Hunters and TKJ as like. TKJ is so awful and Longbow Hunters is so good when like. Both used a woman being hurt to make a man sad. Both cared way more about the male heroes than the female heroes.
The only difference is that Alan Moore did not write the follow-up to Babs being hurt so we got actual focus on her and her feelings, and her calling out the various characters and sexist writers, but the person in charge of writing Dinah's follow up was the same guy who wrote her being hurt make a man sad, and it shows so very very much.

Been reading up on Dinah and am in Grell's Green Arrow run and man, I hate it. I mean, first off, Longbow Hunters fridged Dinah so, rocky start. Won't go into it too much but it's pretty horrific. The art sexualizes the whole thing and the whole purpose is just to drive Oliver to kill. Then, for most of the time on his run, Dinah seems to just sit at home while Oliver goes out to hero. While she has two stories that run at the same time as the Grell run where she is doing Black Canary work, if a reader didn't know those existed (and let me tell you they aren't the easiest to find), they would think Dinah is basically a civilian for the 3 or so years before she puts on the Black Canary suit in the book. There is nothing wrong with civilian love interests but Dinah is not one and turning her into one for Oliver's sake is why I am always hesitant about them being together.
There are so many other things wrong with this series. The having kids plotline where Dinah doesn't want to have them cause she doesn't want to make orphans then changes her mind a number of issues in because Oliver almost dies and she wants to have a part of him left if he were to actually die. This totally goes against her desire to not make orphans in the first place. Then we find out she can't have kids because of injuries from a few years previous, injuries which we can only assume are the ones from when she was tortured. This leads into us discovering Shado raped Oliver and had a child because he was so in love with Dinah, she knew the only thing she could give him was an heir. To which Dinah responds by asking if she loves Oliver.
I could go one forever but these are just a couple things. I feel like the internet is trying to gaslight me cause all I am finding is praise for this run while this run not only seems to hate it's female characters but also Oliver.

2023 reading list: Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters (1987)
To find the predator, you look for the prey.
(ID under the cut.)
ID: Five panels from Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters. Two are still images, placed as banners above and below three animations.
1: Oliver Queen in his Green Arrow costume, surrounded by Mt. Rainier and wilderness.
2: Shado stands in front of an orange and red background. A dragon slowly fades into view, and then back out.
3: Dinah Lance stands in front of the Seattle skyline. Text appears that reads "I won't make orphans." Blood drips slowly from her temples and down her arm, and then from the text itself.
4: Oliver looks out over an arrow as it slowly drips blood offscreen. A spider creeps down the frame beside his face.
5: Shado is facing away from the viewer. The Seattle skyline is laid out behind her, lit by a setting sun.

The treatment of female characters between Longbow Hunters + Hunters Moon and TKJ is really not that different.
