TV : Black Lightning moves to CW, Goldbergs spin-off a go at ABC

The CW might be adding a fifth superhero show to it’s weekly line-up of DC comics turned telehits.

Greg Berlanti’s “Black Lightning”, originally due to go at Fox, looks to be making the move to the CW – the home of Berlanti’s other superhero series “Supergirl”, “Arrow”, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” and “The Flash”.

Fox opted not to go to pilot with the series, which would tell of black superhero Jefferson Pierce, so The CW has – seemingly – swept in.
