And it looks like the Flash and Arrow co-creator will be adding to his already massive slate by developing a new TV drama based on the DC superhero Black Lightning, and he’s teamed with The Game creator Mara Brock Akil and her husband Salim Akil to put this thing together.
The project is reportedly being shipped around to different networks, with Warner Bros. TV as the studio behind it, along with Berlanti Productions and Akil Productions.
Don’t go thinking that Black Lightning would automatically be a CW series, either, as that’s not necessarily the case.
There aren’t very many empires on TV these days – and I’m not talking about Lucious Lyon here – but mega-producer Greg Berlanti and his creative partners have certainly created one for superheroes over on The CW.
