The Black Lightning character was created by Tony Isabella with Trevor Von Eeden.
Black Lightning will make its series premiere on The CW on Tuesday, January 16 at 9 PM following an all-new episode of The Flash.
But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns — to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community.
