UPDATE 2-4-17: Black Lightning has been moved over to The CW.
The last thing thing we heard about the “Black Lightning” TV show is that it was picked up by Fox, and Greg Berlanti, along with Sarah Schechter, are to oversee the show.
Now the announced “Black Lightning” TV show may have a production date! My Entertainment World recently posted possible shootings dates for new upcoming TV shows and this list included Black Lightning!

Now, is this for real? It may be! New Orleans is used for a lot of the DCTV shows and Hollywood projects.
It is yet known if the show will be in the CW Universe or if it’s a standalone like Supergirl OR if it’s going to be based on Supergirl’s Earth. I am quite curious if the show will join the ranks of the growing CW Universe or if it will be its own little series. I REALLY hope he joins the CW Universe or AT LEAST gets a crossover with them in the future; he would be a GREAT addition. It’s also not known if someone has been chosen to play the DC superhero.

Along with a possible date announcement, we ALSO got a synopsis for the show!
“the show will follow Jefferson Pierce, a character who made his choice years ago to hang up his suit and secret identity. However, his hell-bent on justice, star student daughter being recruited into a local gang pulls him back into the vigilante game as the DC Comics hero: Black Lightning.”
OH MAN! This has me HYPED UP! WOOOOO!
I was reading an article about this on comicbook.com and he made a PRETTY good point about the show. With the success and popularity of the Luke Cage Netflix series, it would be wise if DC and WB hop on the African American superhero band wagon and get a TV show under their belts.
What are your current thoughts on the Black Lightning TV show? I myself am VERY hyped.
