I loved the intro... with ol girl immediately trying to discover how her powers work and not just automatically putting on a suit... and stopping crime like most shows.

I also loved how they showed Jefferson testing out the new equipment and not just automatically using it without issue.

And I love that my girl Jill Scott is up in here.


Also your can tell that black people are behind this show.

Jill Scott bosom could bring peace to all of Freeland

I think I read somewhere that BL thinks that Tobias is dead, so Gambi wants to keep it that way so thay BL doesn't go off on a single minded revenge mission.
Nah I don't think that because in the 1st episode Tobias picture is up in the police station wall saying wanted. And I think Jefferson looked at the picture on the wall also.

ok....you gone make me quote something I posted in the Arrowverse crossover thread. DCEU is in disarray, but they tv shit is working. If I was them, I would leverage the two. Have Gal Gadot on screen for like 7 minutes in the next crossover event to get it in with the heroes and introduce some young Amazons. I was saying before she could introduce a Wonder Girl character that can exist in the Arrowverse along with like a Guy Gardner type, lesser Green Lantern. Bring in Tom Welling to be Supes from another Earth, and they got JLU on tv live action. They could easily fold in Grace Amazon roots too. I'm just lookin forward to more epic crossover events and them keeping the Justice League Unlimited vibe they got going. Plus....I think lil homie that got shot and was about to beat Jennifer is gonna be Static Shock.

^^

THIS IS way TO SMART.

Shit, I totally missed that. I remember reading on another site that Lynn Stewart is Green Lantern's sister.

Black Lightning Just Introduced Green Lantern’s Sister



Black Lightning
may not be fighting alongside DC’s other TV heroes, but he’s got a major connection to Green Lantern. The emerald, ring-slinging hero who even casual CW fans are probably aware of by now, given the amount of Hal Jordan easter eggs Arrow has dropped. All clues and teases intended only to excite and delight the comic book fans, most assumed. But with Black Lightning now joining the network, if not explicitly the same world as Arrowand The Flash, there may be the strongest link to Green Lantern yet.

The catch is, it ain’t the version that The CW has been teasing in the past. It’s the version of Green Lantern that fans of the animated Justice League series and related features have known for years, better known for his discipline and no-nonsense attitude in a fight. That personality may be something that Green Lantern John Stewart has in common with Jefferson Pierce, a.k.a. Black Lightning. But the two men share something more important in the comics – and possibly, the TV series.

Black Lightning is married to Green Lantern’s sister. Well, was married, anyway.

RELATED: BLACK LIGHTNING MAY EXIST IN THE ARROWVERSE AFTER ALL

BLACK LIGHTNING’S EX-WIFE, LYNN PIERCE
The premiere episode of Black Lightning may be all fans of DC Comics and The CW have to go on, but it makes an impact. Mainly for all the ways it’s unlike the heroes who came before. This superhero is older, experienced, and as a superhero, even retired. It wasn’t an easy decision for him to make, but as the episode reveals, it was Jefferson Pierce’s wife who convinced him to leave the vigilante heroics behind him. Not even for her sake – but for the sake of their two daughters. Jefferson turned to his family, but only after his wife turned to divorce.

The first episode is all audiences need to know that Lynn Pierce (the only surname we have to go on, based on cast listings) is not a woman to take lightly. Yet as has become the habit with comic book to TV adaptations, audiences and fans will wonder as to Lynn’s role in the comics. And, dare we say it, perhaps a superheroine identity of her own in future seasons. Well, the bad news is that Lynn Pierce’s role in the comics was primarily as Jefferson’s ex-wife and the mother to their two daughters (a combination that changed somewhat over the years).

The good news is that for fans of the larger DC Comics mythology, the shared ground between Jefferson Pierce and John Stewart as African-American superheroes is just the beginning. Not only were they introduced around a similar time in history (1971 and 1977), and designed to battle street-level crime in America’s cities (overlooked by the ‘grander’ superheroes), but they were linked by one of the most important women in their lives: Lynn Stewart.

At least, it was the plan for Black Lightning to be revealed as Green Lantern’s former brother-in-law. Will the TV show finally make a solid link to a Green Lantern on TV?

but I thought the trick is

if you TRY to look at his face the electrical field makes you unable to focus and hurts your eyes?

That makes sense cause I thought his daughters and cop friend gave him that look like I know you. But instead they were trying hard to focus. May need to rewatch the first 2 episodes now. Seems like I missed some things.

CW should have a seperate more grounded adult themed univers. Put Cloak & Dagger in the BL universe.
