I must disagree with whoever has said that Black Canary was not
raped in Longbow Hunters.
All the evidence points to the contrary. Her brutalizer tells
his partner that he should get "some of this while she still
has a face."
Also, Dinah's assault left her unable to conceive, meaning
some sort of sexual assualt took place (even if she wasn't
raped, per se).
And she was unable to be intimate with Oliver for quite awhile.
This is common post-rape trauma.
Black Canary had been fighting crime for quite a while. I'm sure
she'd been beaten within an inch of her life before. But rape
or any sexual assualt would be traumatizing enough to explain
her inaction for the issues after Longbow Hunters.
