Krypton: Pilot
Superman was the first comic book superhero. Without him, the entire industry doesn’t exist. He is the start, the root, of all the comics, novels, games, tv shows, and movies.

The Black Lightning writers continue their predilection for odd titles with “The Book of Revelations.” I guess they’re going for a Biblical theme, which is a bit odd as religion is one thing they’ve largely stayed away from, barring Lawanda’s funeral.
They continue Gotham’s current season with “A Dark Knight: A Beautiful Darkness.” This one opens with Ivy 3.0 and Selina robbing a rich family by making use of Ivy’s new influence power.
The writers on Black Lightning continue their book-ish titles with “Equinox: The Book of Fate.” It’s never made clear what “Equinox” refers to, and for some DC fans, that’s just as well.
Continuing their penchant for complicated titles, Black Lightning continues with “And Then The Devil Brought the Plague: The Book of Green Light.” This new drug is doing a number on Freeland, and dominating a lot of the show’s plot, as well.
The second episode of Black Lightning, “Lawanda: The Book of Hope,” starts off with a major contrast going on. On the news, a commentator wonders why Black Lightning is back, and seems both happy and mistrustful about the hero’s return. On the bed, Jefferson Pierce is groaning, in major pain, in the aftermath of his return to action.
Not to long ago, Batman asked Catwoman to marry him, thus finally “catching up with” the continuity from decades ago, when the Golden Age characters married, eventually producing Helena Wayne, the Huntress, as their daughter.
With the new show coming up, I thought this would be a good time to go over Black Lightning’s history. Personally, I’m really looking forward to this addition to the CW hero shows, even though Black Lightning won’t be part of their universe
