    Nothing to do with the series but I hope Tony Isabella will get some kind of residual check. He created the character but he's had a rocky relationship with DC over the years since his hey day as a writer.

      Never heard him this before, it he sort of reminds me of Static Shock. I would of rather had a Static Shock show.

          Forgot he was in FNL, always remember Cress Williams from 90210 and Living Single though and liked seeing him pop up in things over the years.

              First few minutes interested me, I liked where it was going. Started doing other things so I missed most of the second half of the episode. I'll rewatch it tomorrow.

                Me thought the first half was cheesy.

                Ended up coming together and ended interestingly enough.

                  I was hoping this show would be about an African American male basketball coach that takes over an all white Midwest small town high school basketball team! lol
                  That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of the show.

                    I knew he was in the old comics and everything, but didn't realize they included him in any of the modern DC movies like Superman/Batman Public Enemies

                        I like the show but I wish we had a show based on Static instead. I'm willing to give this a chance though.

                          Show wasn't at all what I was expecting. To me, that first episode makes early episodes of Arrow look tame.

                          The police/gang part I could do without, but based on everything, I'm guessing that'll be a big part of all this?

                          And this show seems like it'll cover a fanbase beyond just Arrow/Flash which is a good thing because I'm sure if people watch one, they might think about checking out the other too.

                            2 episodes in, it's ok, but don't know if it's the type of show I'll be interested in. Can see it being a popular show and all, but don't think it's appealing to me early on like I had hoped.

                              I love the show, don't understand all the hate, a Black character with a soul groove too it and a lot of violence.

                              A story that will build as it goes and continues off each episode, character developments as it goes.

                              It's like watching a Super Hero show on Netflix but you have to wait til the next episode. Characters are good, etc.

                              Maybe because I'm old and remember the comics and his characters was way before Static Shock and completely different.

                              Not to mention I've grown around gangs that were like this, minus the running the city stuff, but definitely the blocks we live on.

                              Either way I look forward to more, nothing wrong with Ep1 or 2, love the show!!!
