Joining Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce and Nafessa Williams and China Anne McLain as his daughters, Anissa and Jennifer, on The CW's Black Lightning will be Christine Adams as the former superhero's ex-wife, Lynn.

Adams will probably be best known to CBMers for playing Agent Weaver during the first two seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but she's also appeared in the likes of Batman Begins, Tron: Legacy, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Deadline describes this small-screen take on Lynn Stewart as a woman "who exudes confidence and intelligence. Although she’s got a mischievous side, she’s not one to be trifled with when it comes to family".

Black Lightning will be written and produced by Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil, alongside Greg Berlanti. There's no set premiere date just yet.

Can I have one black family on a CW show that isn't disfunctional. I already know one of his daughters is gonna have a white boyfriend. Please give me a positive black family in this damn.

@AdamWarlockHim - Actually, I just found out one of his daughters is lesbian (Anissa). So whether they keep that or not, is beyond me. But we're probably gonna get another sappy "Alex and Maggie" type thing.

Seeing as people are talking about Static in this article, I thought I'd let you all know Static Shock season 1 is coming out at the end of this month. WB is wanting to see if there is people that still like that world and if so there is a great chance they'll bring the other seasons out too, plus maybe a live action movie.
