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. 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 Luke Cage was never D-list. He had quite an established history with Jessica Jones, forming the Heroes for Hire with Iron Fist, and joining the New Avengers. It actually makes full sense for Luke Cage and Danny Rand to be featured on a street-level team for MCU, even if they renamed the team to Defenders.

I know Luke Cage was never D list, I said Black Lightning was, and I meant that DC is using a black superhero reluctantly fighting street crime in a poor neighborhood and it sounds a bit like what Marvel did with Luke Cage so to many it's yet another case of DC attempting to replicate Marvel's success
