I'd rather have an Aquaman series, but hey, I'll take it.

I love Cress. Big fan of him in 90210 and Hart Of Dixie and Friday Night Lights

He's 47. Only a year younger than Jesse L Martin who plays Joe West in Flash.

China Ann will soon be seen in Descendants 2 as Uma, daughter of Ursula.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this show.

On the one hand, this character seems like a harder sell to a general audience; based on his notoriety and the fact that it's on CW, I doubt the pilot will be picked up.

However, it's a predominantly African-American main cast, and CW needs diversity to succeed. Kinda like Supergirl, which if it weren't aimed primarily at female audiences (and CyberCubed), I'm pretty sure wouldn't have made it past Season 1.

But then, CW seems to let shows stick around LONG past their quality. Looking at you, Arrow, Supernatural, Smallville, and maybe The Flash, too...

Christine Adams has been casted as Jefferon's ex-wife from the comics, Lynn Stewart. Filming for the pilot will take place in Atlanta, Georgia: http://www.cbr.com/cw-black-lightning-christine-adams/

Looks a bit Iron Man-esque. The mask seems a bit odd to me.

Not what I was expect, but alright.

The mask is somewhat odd though.

[saintsaucey]

Doesn't look a thing like iron man. Looks pretty damn good to me. Can't wait for this series.

Not bad. I'll give it a

Black Lighting is not part of the Arrowverse so they won't have to pander to the CW Shippers

[TurtleTitan97]

This looks freaking awesome! I dig the flashback costume and the modern one looks great in motion.

I'm glad The 100 will be the main threat. Wonder who they'll cast as Tobias Whale.

Huh.

I'll definitely watch the first season. We'll get one good season, and then CW will just start crapping the bed. Happens every time.

Apparently they've said this is not connected to the Arrowverse at all?

Yeah, that'll stick. Neither was Supergirl at first.

Supergirl was filming in another area (like black lightning) and on another network (which black lightning isn't. It has less of a reason to be in another universe than supergirl did. Ill give it a shot but I am less invested in it than I was supergirl because supergirl and flash always wanted to share but couldn't at first.

His mask is supposed to protect his identity, I'm assuming.
