Seriously, this guy is a pretty good hero and he is going to be saving the world with some style and a spark. Probaly because he is not as well known as the other DC shows and not a big name, or people have never heard about him. I know some barely know who the heck is he. But give people time. Still don't why people are rejecting Black Lightning after he has only had one trailer. Yet everyone looks at something like Lucifer and everyone is hooked somehow. Xandermcc wrote:

To many it looks like DC is trying to copy Marvel once again, this time with the Luke Cage thing. Also, lots of other more popular superheroes (Blue Beetle, Green Lantern, Booster Gold, etc) had been teased before so it's kinda frustrating to see the new show be some random D-list guy like Black Lightning get picked instead Well i'm more interested in the concept of this guy rather than Blue Beetle or Booster Gold. Well like it was mentioned earlier, he's a relatively unknown hero and to many he just seems like "guy who shoots lightning bolts". Although his exploration into ethnicity does seem interesting.

Can you blame everyone for wanting Outsiders? Who doesn't like superhero teamups? Those always reel in the ratings much more than solo heroes ever do.

That's true, and I am very curious about the ratings if the DC hype on CW dies down and it won't premier to huge ratings. I don't expect anything more than 3 million sadly. If it got 4 million and a 1.6 in the demo I would be thrilled for it. It won't be flash or arrow high ratings.

I think this titans series on this DC app they are doing is going to generate so much buzz. Especially with a big name like Nightwing, and the Batgirl/Oracle. Much more sadly than Black Lighning, they are bigger names than him.
