Heading into this Monday's episode of The CW's Black Lightning, any misconceptions anyone had about Tobias (Marvin Jones III) being a "changed, philanthropic man" are as dead as Mayor Billy Black (Reggie Hayes)- making it pretty clear that our series' biggest big bad is willing to tear Freeland apart to get what he wants[...]

In this week's episode of The CW's Black Lightning, "The Book of Occupation: Chapter Three," things don't appear to be getting much better – especially between Lynn (Christine Adams) and Jefferson (Cress Williams).

Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman joining the family alongside Supergirl, and a looming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover that could change things dramatically (including Black Lightning). Face facts, CW DCU fans: the 2019-2020 season isn't[...]
