Final Words

Black Lightning definitely takes its inspiration from the famous DC comics. But its uniqueness lies in the depiction of a predominantly African-American setting. They wanted to have a black voice in the series and Salim Akil’s superb writing helped them achieve that at its best. Akil while describing the first season of the show that the Pierce family is the ” Obamas of the superhero world”. The character of Jefferson Pierce is even comparable to the image of Marti Luther King Jr.

Although the show depicted a lot about the Black Lives Matter movement, it is indeed an American story. They wanted to focus on a particular culture but keeping the theme universal for everyone.

The second season is more of an imitation of the style of comic books. Episodes in season 2 are actually the consequences of season 1. Laura Jean Shannon designed the eye-catching costumes of the show.

Fans are now waiting for the third season of Black Lightning to hit the screens. Meanwhile, download these awesome posters and relive your DC universe moments.
