With Legends of Tomorrow on hiatus, there are currently four DC TV shows on the air thanks to the debut of the excellent Black Lightning. Now, The CW has released the synopses for a number of upcoming episodes of that, Supergirl, The Flash, and Arrow and it sounds like we can expect plenty of big developments moving forward. For example, we're about to meet yet another evil Worldkiller! 

Black Lightning, meanwhile, is going to step up to battle The 100 Gang and Barry Allen is going to have to risk outing himself as the Fastest Man Alive to protect his fellow inmates inside Iron Heights. 

Finally, Oliver Queen is having to give some serious consideration to bringing back the new Team Arrow as the threat against Star City intensifies. Which of these episodes are you most excited to see? What did you think of the Black Lightning premiere? As always, share your thoughts in the usual place.

Black Lightning premiere was great. I can't wait for Tuesday's episode. Tobias shoting the under boss gangsta in the shoulder with the harpoon was unexpected and awesome

@JohnnyTBP - yeah that was pretty good, Tobias seems like he could be a good villain. And loved how they used BL powers in the fights.

Arrow is suffering from extremely bad writing and direction. They just keep doing the same story over and over (Oliver wants to go at it alone so he sends all his team away) and they have gotten to the point where Thea is useless on the show. Why not bring back Speedy??? Fire the writers and bring in someone from the books. And for god sake kill Felicity, she is just a big fat anchor around the show.

These Worldkillers should unionize. Wouldn't want them infringing on each others killing of worlds.

Personally I don't want Black Lightning to connect with the other shows. I think it works much better as it own show. Also it feels like it should be on something much better than the CW. Also avting wise is much more serious anf real than the other shows, not tonknowck the others but still.

So that actress was hired to play as another Worldkiller. I wonder if she will also get her own suit. The take on these Worldkillers here is more human-ish compared to the comics. I just hope that if they ever do Doomsday they go all out with the budget. The subplot with Mon-El, J'onn and Winn is good but I am left wondering what is going on with Brainiac-5 and Imra.

Flash sounds good, basically like a reverse prison break episode. So he could end up protecting the normal cellmates (as seen in the promo pics from next week's ep) against many former and familiar faces metas? Oh boy.

Black Lightning is vague but I like it. The new drug surely is a grounded thing and nothing to do with, say, starting new metas ala Static Shock with a Bing Bang right? In any case I really look forward to see a flashback of how was that Jefferson got his powers. Is the rally against The 100 gang led by normal people that Anissa frequents like in the pilot or someone else?

Arrow has a cool title I can give it that, so we'll see what happens when the episode airs.

I did like that Black Lightning didn't seem to follow the rest of the shows, but... I was hoping for something more like Static Shock. The first show was ok, and that is something.

I'm totally OK with more Blacksmith. She is deliciously Silver Age on the show.

Black Lightning wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't fun either. Too much soap opera and cliché black tv plots. It's going to get old quickly if they don't have any other tricks up their sleeve.

@rabid - Those aren't "cliche' plots". That's reality and that's the problem. I wanted fantasy, but they've loaded this series which heavy weight. I'm keeping an eye on it. Hopefully, Tobias will breakout the mind control weapon and try to takeover the world like a real comicbook villain would, instead of, you know, making sure his drug empire isn't interrupted. Yawn.
