"Black Lightning" Season 3 "The Book of Markovia: Chapter Three": The Enemy of Jefferson's Enemy May Prove His Friend [PREVIEW]
Now that the dust has settled from "Crisis on Infinite Earths" – and The CW's Arrowverse is a bit more "cozier" because of it – the changes are starting to be felt across all of our shows. Arrow ended its run in grand fashion after eight seasons – only to pass the bow-n-arrow over to (potentially) Green Arrow and the Canaries; while The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow have to rewrite their "universe scorecards" to adjust for some major changes in the status quo. Did we mention Black Lightning doesn't have the benefit of past crossovers to help with its transition? Meanwhile, viewers have Superman & Lois to look forward to down the road as the pilot script was given a series order. Yup, change is in the air – and throughout the universes.
Which brings us to the following promo and preview images for this week's "The Book of Markovia: Chapter Three", where we see the fallout from Lynn's (Christine Adams) plans for Tobias (Marvin "Krondon" Jones III) taking a really bad turn. Jefferson (Cress Williams) and Anissa (Nafessa Williams) make an unexpected "bigger picture" team-up, as Lynn… well… let's just say things may get a little worse beofre they get better…
"Black Lightning" season 3, episode 12 "The Book of Markovia: Chapter Three": DEMONS – Jefferson (Cress Williams) and Anissa (Nafessa Williams) join forces with the ASA to help one of their own. Meanwhile, Lynn (Christine Adams) is forced to continue battling her demons. China Anne McClain, James Remar, Damon Gupton, Marvin Jones III and Jordan Calloway also star. Bille Woodruff directed the episode written by Adam Giaudrone & Lynelle White (#312)
Black Lightning is bringing a very familiar face along for the ride during the second-half of this season – that's when Let's Make a Deal host and actor (and the baddest man on Chappelle Show… sorry, Charlie Murphy, and rest in peace, Rick James) Wayne Brady is set to join the Arrowverse series. Brady is set to play Tyson Spikes aka Gravedigger.
Brady's Spikes/Gravedigger is described as a World War II-era member of the U.S. military who became a "super soldier" after a secret experiment gifted him with enhanced strength, agility, tactical genius and hand-to-hand combat expertise. After the war, Spikes defected to the country of Markovia rather than return to a segregated America. His aim to create a sovereign land for metahumans within Markovia sets him on a collision course with the ASA and Black Lightning.
