Is Dinah treated in the same way a male hero would be, though?

No, and that was my point. Neither this Grell scene nor the BOP scene mentioned below have Black Canary escaping her bonds and laying the smack down on her captors and being ready to do the same thing the next day like a Batman story would have him. In both cases we see one hero whose skill set puts her on par with another hero, but in both cases we see her in a far less independently capable state.

At the risk of spoiling the next issue of Power Girl, as many gripes as I have about the book, the fact that the previews I've seen seem to indicate that Peej will be using her smarts and powers to escape U-H's deathtrap have me doing something I haven't done in three or four years: excitedly looking forward to reading a DC book.
