>Fox may soon be adding another DC Comics character to its roster.

>The network has given a pilot production commitment to Black Lightning, the black superhero drama from prolific superhero series producer Greg Berlanti, and The Game's Salim and Mara Brock Akil, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

>One of DC Comics' first major African-American superheroes, Black Lightning was created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden and debuted in 1977. The hourlong drama will center on Jefferson Pierce, who hung up his suit and his secret identity years ago. However, 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.

welp. There goes any hope of this actually being good.

I hope they eventually let him become Secretary of Education.

They'd do better focusing on Thunder and Grace.
These shows NEED someone that knows comics and could give them an original angle to approach from.
>>
How much you want to bet they drop the "Black" and rename him to just "lightning"
>>
>>86118470
never going to happen. They will make a pilot and won't pick it up. Is Berlanti just showing shit at a wall and seeing if anyone will buy shit?
>>
>>86118977
Nah his lighting will be black.

I'm down.

Could lead to the revival of Static

???

What makes you think that?

Fox already has Gotham, in terms of comic stuff. Berlanti already has a shit ton of shows. Fox also has Empire and the upcoming show, Pitch, for shows with black protagonists.

This is happening, m8.

Nice how its going to Fox
With the huge Empire Audience it could become another one for the network

>Fox gets Black Lighting

Outsiders incoming
>>
>>86118892
Look at the people making the show not the network its on
>>
>>86119216
Will it finally happen?

Will we finally get the Outsiders in non-comic media and not being cheated out of it?
>>
>>86119196
They can do crossovers with Gotham too
Ultimately I bet CW didn't get the show because of all the bad blood between the network and the creators behind the Game

Trust me, it'll be a long running gag with every villain and civilian going "What? Seriously?!?" at the name.

But really, Thunder and Lightning better be in this.
>>
>>86119196
what do you know, someone who actually understands something
this is Fox doing the smart thing and putting on a black superhero show because they already have african american audiences with empire plus they'll get people who want another superhero show. This is a safe AND smart move by them
>>
>>86119141
cause Berlanti is pitching everything to everyone. Hear of the recent Booster Gold pitch? And that's probably just the tip of the iceberg we are hearing about.
>>
>>86118977
They'll probably keep it and use race relations in the show
>>
>retired vigilante

Neat idea for Black Lightning. I wonder how old is he going to be. I also expect flashbacks to his youngers days.

The CW didn't get the show because they feel like they have enough superhero shows. They've said this.

Good. That means they will have more artistic freedom than if the character was better known.

DC does not currently have the rights for Static.

Wasnt there talk about a Static web series though? Starring philosopher Jaden Smith?

yeah i can't wait for them to show the episodes out of order, hiatus it for 2 weeks for no reason and cancel it before the season is over

I've seen this posted dozens of time and I'm just now noticing the fridge says smug on it

>>86129317
Black Lightning is the first one and most of the others were because they couldn't use Black Lightning, they're related to Black Lightning, or they were a homage to Black Lightning.
