    Resolution of Black Lighting between Tony Isabella and DC?

    Tony Isabella has had a fractious time with DC Comics over recent decades. The creator of DC's first prominent African-American character, Black


    so... perhaps this will lead to Black Lightning appearing on the Flash or Arrow TV show? Maybe finally joining the Super Friends? Animated series? Movie? An FTC figure?

    After reading all of that, I have to say that I never liked Black Lightning because he never fit in. I am not saying he wasn't written right, that was the problem, he was. Just everyone else around him wasn't. How can you have an angry black man decrying racism in a world where there isn't any because depicting it in a comic was too controversial. You really have to show what he is angry about for it to work.

    As for future plans, anybody stop and think about Marvel doing a stand alone Black Panther movie? After having done Blade, granted those were just Wesley Snipes vehicles?

    All of which may be good news for Tony.

        I'm looking forward to the Black Panther movie. If Marvel handles it right, it could be excellent. And Andy Serkis will be reprising his role as Klaw, which is cool.

            My bet is he becomes the connector between Milestone and Cyborg.

            Suprised DC had been able to hold onto the copyright for so long while doing nothing with it.
