Wow, kind of out of nowhere. Not familiar with the character.

CW is pretty much the DC comic-book channel and nothing else.
 
Cool, although I admit I'm a little disappointed that it isn't this Black Lightning:

Static is the Black Lightning for millennials :( I want my Static.

Even my GAF avatar is a black character from Naruto that is lightning based

Eh

Like I imagine this was picked

1)DC owns Black Lightning and not some arrangement like with Static
2)The whole father/family-dynamic gives them something different to work with.

All I know of Black Lightning was that Final Crisis tie-in that was included in the hardcover. It was okay. I think he might have been standing in the background of a bunch of other stuff I read too.

OMG

When it was announced a while back that Akil they had signed with WB TV, I had a what felt like a pipe dream that they would get involved with Berlqnti and co. and either run Vixen in live action or something else superhero-ey.

YESSSS

So no CW tie in. I'm torn. I'm glad it will get its own identity...but I'll miss out on the crossovers. The synopsis sounds unique (retired super hero getting back in the game) and I'm stoked that more DC stuff will be on the air.

I still hope Blue Devil shows up eventually.
 
not that great but they stretch the CGI budget for flash pretty well.

this is Fox though so it will likely have better production values behind it.

Since its on Fox I expect Gotham-tier production values. So top notch sets, major actors in supporting roles, etc.

Good cgi despite their budget. But this will get Gotham or lucifer like money so should be a bit more.

Good, so is Gotham worth watching? I see they have the first season on Netflix.
