He's probably one of the most predominant black heroes in DC atm. He was just made leader of the Justice League in the Young Justice show.

As for his CW show it's not bad? It's heavy on the racial overtones, but that's to be expected for a black hero nowadays. It's not SJW heavy handed like Supergirl though. I think the show isn't bad at all, I think not being connected to the Arrowverse put me off, but I went and watched the whole series after Crisis. It's also very family oriented as both his daughters also have powers. James Remar is also a nice addition to the cast.

He was in the crossover, so he should be connected. I figured for sure he'd be a bigger part of next year's.

Does it feel at all like a blacksploitation film of the 70's? Because I love those but I didn't see any way they'd do that in current year.

He was on a different Earth before Crisis. He didn't know any of the other heroes til then. So his show was a standalone til this past season is what I meant.

Some of his villains definitely fit into a bit of the blacksploitation theme.

It, uh, might lack a little subtlety. For example, even the black villain is white.

To be fair. Tobias Whale has always been an African American albino. The character debuted in 1977 in the first issue of Black Lightning.

If you are willing to look hard enough you will always find things to be offended over.

That's why they say someone has taken offense instead of saying they were given offense. You make the decision to take the offense.

man, doesnt that bother you to have your skin color used as a marketing gimmick? i know by the 90s. italiian stereotype tv shows and movies were really getting on my nerves.

Bother me? Nah. Do I think it's corny? Yeah I do. It's too much.

i actually would watch that Batman concept, since Bruce Wayne is a man of extreme privilege and wealth , sort of throwing the whole victimhood narrative into the crapper. unless they pull a batwoman and just make him a homeless drug dealer with a heart of gold.

OK, so do we want to place bets on if this raises or lowers the ratings for this show?

My bet is a week one increase over last years average number, regressing to the mean by mid season, and an overall drop by end of season.

Smart money would be on higher just because I don't see how they can get any lower.

eh it could go lower. believe me there are fans of this show. not many, but there are people who actually followed the chick lesbo drama of Kate and loved it. its basically a soap opera for lonely dykes, when you take away their favorite character (in this case she noped out of the show) and shoehorn in random lesbian to take over where kate left off, its going to rustle some jimmies. i dunno if white dykes like black dykes, porn videos tell me its not very popular. so dont be so sure this show can't possibly lose whatever minisciule fan base it built up last season.

for some reason thought they were going to pair this up with one of the hero shows, but it is going to be on Sunday at 8 followed by Charmed.
Charmed's last season averages were .17 in the 18 - 49 demo and 638k total viewers

“I’m so heartbroken about the COVID situation because I know that it’s Black Lightning‘s last season, and I would have loved to do a crossover with them. Nafessa [Williams] and Jordan [Calloway] are really good friends of mine, and it would have been great to play with them and be superheroes all on the same show. That would have been epic,” Leslie tells TVLine, noting that she’d still like to stage a crossover when it’s safe to do so.

“Whatever show that has Black people on it, I’m going to do these crossovers with because I just want it to be a super Black crossover,” she adds.


TVLine has confirmed that the previously announced Arrowverse crossover between Batwoman and Superman & Lois has been cancelled as a result. According to Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries, that also means Kara Danvers likely won’t be dropping by Gotham before Supergirl wraps this season

Just counting down to Battranny once they realize they aren't woke enough yet to kill off the last remaining viewers.
