Black Lightning's New Trailer Teases A Superhero Family

The newest trailer for The CW's upcoming Black Lightning shows there may be more superpowers happening than just those belonging to retired superhero Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams). The teaser focuses instead on Pierce's family and hints that his daughters may be uncovering superhuman abilities all their own.

In the clip, Pierce proclaims, "This is about me trying to keep my daughters alive." It seems as if the two have been kidnapped, with Pierce assuming his Black Lightning superhero identity once more to save them. But if their fighting skills and budding powers are any indication, they seem pretty capable of saving themselves.

Still, regardless of how powerful they are becoming, that doesn't stop Pierce from wanting to bring his children home. What's shown next is a collection of clips that show how different Black Lightning is compared The CW's other superheroes--from his costume accented with lights to the electric force that surrounds him as he springs into action.

Black Lightning also stars China Anne McClain and Nafessa Williams as Pierce's daughters, along with James Remar, who plays the hero's mentor, Peter. The series premieres on The CW on Tuesday, January 16, following the midseason premiere of The Flash.
