DC’s Black Lightning Animation Short Commenced
Hit the jump for some details on a Black Lightning “short” to appear soon.
Black Lightning (Jefferson Pierce) was one of the first major African American superheroes to appear in DC Comics. He debuted in Black Lightning #1 (April 1977), and was created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden. -Wikipedia
Directed, written and produced by Lynell Forestall, the Black Lightning bit is about the character dealing with the superhero life and being a father (he has two daughters-Thunder and Lightning). Forestall also talks about his initial plans of the piece and how he wanted it to embody a black-exploitation film. If you watch the video below, it obviously didn’t take place as planned.
