Official CW Black Lightning Discussion Thread (Fonzi Approved!) FINAL SEASON! NO Painkiller SPINOFF
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Damn that was quick
what you mean? this new actress is simply just a much better actress than Chyna Anne. Plus she wants to be there even it is half a season. Chyna had been checked out of the role.
Black Lightning's China Anne McClain has explained that she left the show in order to work on more personal projects.

I am curious on how they gonna handle BL on Painkiller show?
Crazy they did essentially the same thing on the Flash too with Ralph
That's sad,we not going to get a proper BL/Flash crossover..they couldve even done a variation on the theme song like when Thunder made her debut..when they get ready to fight:"Black Lightning and the Flash are here!!!"
The new Jennifer, Laura Kariuki
She's allowing a pedophile looking grey boy up inside her. Not surprising though
Why they do Lala like Han Solo
Imagine a crossover event and the villains are Lex Luthor and Tobias Whale?
Why they do Lala like Han Solo
Yo that was CRAZY..
like I said this show DESERVED another season.
that sh*t right there pissed me off
they wasted so many seasons NOT including black Lightning in the crossover.
They mention flash and don't show ANYTHING not even the sound effect and then the League of Assassins mention well after Arrow is cancelled

wonder if anyone starting a petition on change.org to have HBO Max pick up the series..
Theyll probably have the LoA show up on Batwoman..not holding breath there
Black Lightning would be so DIFFERENT on HBO Max in the best way possible.
Yeah I could DEFINITELY see the LoA on Batwomen especially with the Island story they have going on now.
Honestly, I'm sick of the direction of the show and am ready for it to end.
I never read the comics but I dont understand the JJ issue and she is my niece. People replace other actors/actresses all the time. Just say its Jennifer and move on, no need for mentioning she is taller or look different, we understand. If this was Legends of Tomorrow then have fun with it. Its almost like they needed a reason to have him re-bond with his daughter since she didnt want to be around him.
damn.
that aint a bad take at all
but I assume since it WAS reported that both daughters would be on the new Painkiller show?
They couldn't do that?

David Ramsey is returning to the Arrowverse as both John Diggle and director

We definitely haven't seen the last of David Ramsey, or his on-screen Arrow persona John Diggle, in the Arrowverse: EW has confirmed that Ramsey is returning to the CW's shared superhero universe in 2021, juggling multiple commitments across the several of the shows.
First off, Ramsey will guest-star in five episodes in the Arrowverse. He's set to reprise the role of Diggle on Superman & Lois, Supergirl, The Flash, and Batwoman. When we last checked in with Diggle in the Arrow series finale, he was in the process of moving to Metropolis when he discovered a bright green object at meteor crash site, which was a nod to the prevailing fan theory that he was destined to become a Green Lantern (He later appeared in The Flash's first post-Crisis on Infinite Earths episode, "Marathon").
Ramsey will also appear on DC's Legends of Tomorrow; however, his role is currently being kept under wraps. Knowing Legends, it's probably safe to assume it'll be something very, well, Legends.
On top of all of that, though, the 49-year-old actor will also direct five episodes in the Arrowverse, including Superman & Lois and Supergirl. Ramsey made his directorial debut with the Arrow season 7 episode "Past Sins" and went on to helm season 8's "Reset," an emotional time-loop hour that was one of the best episodes of the final season (see EW's ranking of every Arrow episode).
"I remain in awe of the imprint these shows have had on television and I've been blessed for the better part of a decade to be a part of them both in front of and behind the camera," said Ramsey in a statement obtained by EW. "To say I'm excited beyond belief to return to the Berlantiverse would be an understatement. I can't wait to continue telling these stories."
It's not entirely surprising that Ramsey is returning to the Arrowverse, given what co-creator Marc Guggenheim told reporters at a screening of Arrow's series finale last January. "David and I have actually talked a lot about Diggle’s and David’s post Arrow future. We’ve got some really good ideas, and I’m going to stand pat on that," said Guggenheim. "I will also say David has become a remarkable director, so we’re as interested in him behind the cameras as we are in front."
Deadline was the first to break the news.
The CW's Arrowverse shows return with new episodes in 2021, starting with Batwoman on Jan. 17, followed by Black Lightning on Feb. 8, and The Flash and Superman & Lois on Feb. 23. Supergirl and DC's Legends of Tomorrow are being held for midseason.

The ONLY character I'm going to miss in "BLACK LIGHTNING" is Tobias Whale.
That Dude always has the most cringe-worthy and hilarious self-hating quips ever about Black Folks.
Krondon plays that character to perfection.
Uncle Ruckus ain't got shit on Tobias.
Actually...
I'm going to miss James Remar as Gambi too.
Remar has been in the game a long time.
Much Respect to him.

Oh yeah this old news we really been looking forward to this
But apparently his "surprise " appearance on black Lightning was cancelled due to pandemic with sucks
Lynn mentioned him in passing during a therapy session
I thought we could have gotten a zoom call or something
Ok, I'm ready for a Painkiller series if this is what is expected. This is fire. Just need to work on the bad guys fighting skills. Painkiller acts like he is well trained while the rest are play fighting.
They should of worked the blue/red filters differently from when he is Painkiller vs Khalil.

Anyone here know the tune that was played in the background during the scene in which Khalil and Painkiller were talking near the elevator?
That scene and that song were perfectly done.
If this was the "Pilot", it definitely has potential.
But as with most Network TV these days,
Shit was just going way too fast without establishing much.

The Writing on this show was terrible. They had very capable actors and source material. Hell they rose Bill Duke from his deathbed. We deserved better.
