Black Lightning | Where Heroes are Born Trailer

Link.

The CW. Where heroes are born. Black Lightning strikes in 2018!

About BLACK LIGHTNING:
Jefferson Pierce is a man wrestling with a secret. Nine years ago, Pierce was gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, which he used to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life and his family on the line, he left his Super Hero days behind. Almost a decade later, Pierce’s crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, Black Lightning returns — to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community.

I can't help it - every time I see Cress Williams, all I can think of is, "No! Stop ruining Vince's football career!"

Anywho, this looks fun. I'll totally watch it.

Had to skip nearly two minutes in just to see some Black Lightning. Hopefully it's a cut above the rest, his suit looks pretty cool if it tad over designed.

Sure, okay I'll watch this. Just please, don't make him fall in love with a character the viewers will hate and make that the focus of the show. Or have him make stupid decisions repeatedly.

Don't worry, that's what the daughters are for.
 
Having not watched the CW shows, I thought the intro was cool, however there was no new Black Lightning footage in there that wasn't in the first trailer.

"Looking back, I realized that that was the night that we fell in love."

Oh... Well, okay then Iris.

I don't really have much any huge expectations for Black Lightning, just hoping he above the usual BS lol

I never watched the show because I really dislike CW shows. Flash, Arrow Superwoman..... couldn't get into any of them.

However, it's pretty clear from this video that the show was cancelled because the viewer count tanked. Not because of a racist agenda like some are saying on Twitter, but because a majority of viewers lost interest.

True, and yet Batman still gets another season regardless. These shows really need better writers.
