I love Dinah for the fishnets. Totally the fishnets!
In all seriousness, I have trouble with this one, because historically (as with a lot of female, and indeed male, characters) her characterization has been a bit...variable. However! She's a strong woman who can fight in high heels and fishnet stockings (and when Barry Allen commented, she *rotated his mask around his face*), who deals competantly *and* generally good-naturedly with the irresponsible men around her (and their offspring), and who has *never* become the extention of a male hero. (Even Ollie, as long as she appeared primarily in his book or feature.)
She's also the link between two generations (well, after a few retcons...); the favored child of the JSA become one of the founders of the JLA. She knows *everyone*, and they all know and generally like and respect her.
