If Black Lightning makes it to series, it would give The CW five DC Comics superhero shows on the air: The Flash, Arrow, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Black Lightning.
The Black Lightning pilot that was previously in development over at Fox has now gotten a pilot order… from The CW, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This isn’t the first time a superhero series has moved from one network to The CW; Supergirl jumped from CBS to The CW in between its first two seasons.
According to reports, Fox passed on Black Lightning as it already has two DC Comics properties on its schedule — Gotham and Lucifer — and a Marvel series in development.
