With Black Lightning now in the fold, The CW has five DC superhero projects.
And unlike the recent DC superhero projects The Flashand The Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning didn’t have a backdoor appearance in another CW show since it isn’t actually part of the CW’s Arrowverse.
DC Comics’ home on TV today released the first trailer for Black Lightning, the latest addition to The CW’s superhero universe.
Instead of following an upstart crusader, Black Lightning traces Jefferson Pierce (Hart of Dixie’s Cress Williams) after he hung up the suit and his secret identity years ago.
