I'm personally excited for this show. I had a feeling DC was going to look for a Black superhero to bring to television after the success of Luke Cage and I was pleasantly surprised they picked someone lesser known to the public (I.E. not John Stewart or Cyborg). Also I'm curious as to what The Akil husband wife duo will bring to the project. Personally I watched bits and pieces of The Game growing up and it seemed alright. More importantly I like the idea of them adding an older superhero to the Arrowverse world (should he end up there) and I wonder if Static Shock will be introduced as well since he is the most recognizable face from this immediate group. I just hope it gets done right and adds to the overall mix.
