There was a fantastic SNL skit when Death of Superman was published. All of the DC heroes are attending the funeral and they won't let Black Lighting (played by Sinbad) into the parlor because he is black and no one remembers him.

The Super Friends character was called "Black Vulcan" because the character's creator was in a dispute w/DC Comics at the time.

The CW Picks Up Black Lightning Pilot From Greg Berlanti

Total over saturation for the CW.

That being said, if it's connected to the Arrowverse, I'll be watching. Probably would have checked it out anyway, but the idea of connected DCTVU excites me more.

I would be all over an even more massive crossover next season.

Introducing... Black Lightning...

The CW has found its Black Lightning hero in a familiar face.

Hart of Dixie alum Cress Williams will return to the network with the starring role in Greg Berlanti's latest DC Comics drama Black Lightning, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The drama, originally developed at Fox but ordered to pilot at CW, revolves around Jefferson Pierce (Williams), who made a choice to hang up his suit and his secret identity years ago, but with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, he’ll be pulled back into the fight as the wanted vigilante and DC legend — Black Lightning.

Good casting IMO. He's got a lot under his belt.

That might actually be my favorite CW DC (not sure if he's technically Arrowverse as of yet, although I would guess he will be) costume.
