What makes this so shocking is the fact that the world of Black Lightning was said to exist apart from The Arrowverse.
‘The Book of Little Black Lies’ – the latest episode of the popular CW series Black Lighting – stunned viewers by dropping the name of another prominent black superhero from The Arrowverse – the shared universe in which Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow are set.
The latter option seems likely, given that Black Lightning has also made references to Supergirl and Anissa’s girlfriend, Grace, was depicted reading an Outsiders comic book.
Part of the episode is devoted to Jennifer Pierce’s coping with the discovery that she has metahuman powers and that her father is Black Lightning.
