278. Black Lightning Revisited with Writer/Producer Lamont Magee

As part of the DC / CW project entitled the “Arrowverse,” the series “Black Lightning” aired for four seasons from 2018-to 2021. It starred Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce, who recently appeared in the CW crossover “Armegeddon” which took place on the Flash.

Lamont Magee served as a story editor on Black Lightning and was part of the writer’s room. He joined the podcast to discuss his role on the show, and its unique voice amidst a cluster of related shows. Magee is also working on the new “Green Lantern” show for HBO Max, although there is not much he could say.

Other topics included network shows vs. streaming services, an in-depth behind-the-scenes discussion of 2019’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, and the comradery among DC CW shows.
