The first images of Katie Cassidy as Black Canary on "Arrow" have arrived. She suits up in leather from head to toe. Fingerless gloves, a lot of buckles, a mask, dark lipstick, and a police baton complete her transformation as the heroine.

Cassidy has starred as Laurel Lance since the beginning of the show. Her transformation as The Black Canary was set in motion in this season's premiere when her sister Sara (Caity Lotz) was murdered. She began training with Ted Grant or Wildcat (J.R. Ramirez) and will finally introduce her new alter ego in an upcoming episode called "Left Behind".

She said to The Hollywood Reporter of her character, "I think Laurel has earned it. She's gone through really, really hard times, and she will dig deep and rise above."
