Say hello to the latest DC hero to land on the CW : Cress Williams has been spew at Jefferson Pierce , the lead of Black Lightning .
The Hollywood Reporterreports that Williams — not unknown to the CW for his role on Hart of Dixie on the channel — will headline the series , which recently made a jump over from Fox to the CW for a pilot lodge . THR describes the show ’s variant of Pierce ( first create by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden in the ‘ 70s ) as a man who select to rove away his superhero identity years ago , only to be pulled back into action as Black Lightning once more when a bookman of his is tangle in mob warfare . It ’s a verbal description that gibe up withthe late molding birdcall we saw , but interestingly , it sets Black Lightning aside from many of its fellow DC superhero shows . Arrow , Flash , Supergirl , and to a certain extent Legends of Tomorrow have all been about young Heron making the first step in their journeys to superheroism .
If Black Lightning is jell in that same population as those show , getting to see someone who ’s a bit older , and already has the experience of being a hero — and specifically take to put that experience apart and inhabit a individual life again — is really intriguing . Hopefully some twenty-four hour period , we ’ll get to see Black Lightning rubbing articulatio humeri with the rest of the DC / CW - niverse to see how that dividing line plays out .
