I haven't heard of Black Lightning so I don't know how I feel about the show but I'll tell you one thing. Dynasty's going to flop harder than the remake of Melrose Place and Charlie's Angels. Whatever bright spark came up with the idea to remake that show should be sacked after it bombs. You can't remake a show like Dynasty in 2017.

Dynasty has an international deal with NETFLIX so it will probably get at least another season no matter how horrible the ratings are on CW.

I'm more familiar with Black Vulcan from Superfriends than Black Lightning.

I'm more familiar with Black Vulcan from Superfriends than Black Lightning. It is funny you mention Black Vulcan 'cause I just looked the character up and it said he was created for the 'Superfriends' show as a replacement for Black Lightning due to disputes going on between DC and Black Lightning's creator, Tony Isabella. I would say they must have worked things out all these years later or they wouldn't be allowed to make a 'Black Lightning' TV show but his existence reminds me of how they had Lord Nor instead of General Zod in 'Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman' and it makes me wonder how many other characters have been created like this 'cause the writers of movies and TV shows weren't allowed to use the original characters on screen. Was Tempus a take on another Superman villain from the comics or a new character? There was a Tempus in the Supergirl/Linda Danvers series but he was a completely different character.

I am not too sure about 'Dynasty' either and I don't know if it is a remake or a continuation to the original series like the continuation series to 'Dallas' that went for three seasons but if it is the latter I think a lot of the actors and actresses are dead. I know John Forsythe is and he played the voice of Charlie in the original 'Charlie's Angels.'

Berlanti is making Black Lightning? Fuck. Prepare for a shitty race war proclaiming how shitty we white people are, only then to receive blatant hypocrisy. Look how hard Berlanti pushed the superior female angle on Supergirl. Can't we just write good characters? Write them as humans? Urgh, I'm not looking forward to this.

I will be sorely disappointed if they don't work in "Black Lightning strikes twice!" Every action series needs a cheesy one-liner.

Wait, the evil gang is called "The One Hundred"? Well that is unfortunate considering that the title of the best show on CW is "The 100".

He is Black Lightning and he is a black guy. How is that not racially stereotyping a character?

My guess is he'll get it after saving a black person from a white police officer.

Not sure how I feel about this show. I'm not a big fan of the character and nothing I've seen yet has really wowed me. Not to mention that I don't think the people behind the Arrowverse can do social commentary with any weight or maturity that doesn't look like teenage posturing. If I do watch it will be probally be through streaming once the season is finished.

I am not sure how I feel about it either but I am willing to give it a chance when it airs here in Australia and I am glad they are having it on the CW Network instead of the DC Online Streaming Service like 'Titans' 'cause a lot more people will be able to see it. It is a weird choice of a character and there are a lot of bigger names that should have their own TV show before 'Black Lightning' but they have chosen to go with this character 'cause they must have some faith in it being successful. We will just have to wait and see.
