Katie Cassidy just did an interview where she talked about Black Siren. She said that if anything, she and the writers would want Black Siren on Legends of Tomorrow. Not Arrow. She says that it would create a very interesting dynamic with Sara and I do feel like Black Siren would be a better fit of there. Since Siren has powers, it would be better to keep her away from Arrow, which is going back to be more grounded and realistic. It also makes more sense. Her sonic scream is very powerful and could be useful in many situations, and a Rip likes to give people a shot for rehabilitation. Plus, if anyone saw Earth-2 Laurel hanging around Star City, they would have some questions as to why their dead hero / a.d.a is walking around. I say keep her on the Waverider and create a new, interesting dynamic with Sara. (Heck, they can even call her Dinah. Avoid confusion with Earth-1 Laurel and honor the comics. It's a win win in my opinion). It would gain more viewership for Legends from Katie's fans, and keep her away from the awful ones from Arrow that still continue to send her hate and death threats. It would also benefit Katie, who always works well in group dynamics, something Legends is better at than Arrow since people are only used when needed on Legends and not just standing props like Katie was on Arrow. It would also challenge to play the same character, but also different. It would also be interesting during the major Arrowverse crossover. Team Arrow could meet Black Siren and have a storyline for that during the crossover. It would a smoother narrative than to just have her be thrown into Arrow like some fans want, and give Team Arrow some closer. It would also leave the door open for more appearances. I can't really think of any negatives and would be a good compromise. Black Canary fans get to see her, but Olicity fans don't have to. While most of the characters are positive on Legends, Laurel and Mick would be the angry ones and won't be the others personal cheerleaders. Maybe she could take on the Black Canary mantel, but I would want that down the road more. It's clear the Arrow writers don't want her around. I say give her a show where she can be useful and appreciated.
