Greg Berlanti’s Black Lightning TV Series Lands at Fox

Fox, which is already home to another superhero property in the form of Batman prequel series Gotham, has given Black Lightning a pilot production commitment.

Black Lightning, a planned series about the Justice League superhero created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden in 1977, has found its home at Fox, according to a report by TheWrap.

With The CW having demonstrated the appeal of shared universes on TV, there is a question of whether Black Lightning will end up crossing over with Gotham… but we wouldn’t bet on that just yet.
