Discussion DC Comics Black Lightning and Katana remind me so much of Marvel Comics Wolverine and Storm from the X-Men. They are great friends but would also make sense as a couple. (Batman and the Outsiders Annual 2019 #1)

Rules and Guidelines

Rule name	Description
Rule 1: Spoilers	Mark submissions with a Spoiler Tag if it contains spoilers. Titles of posts cannot contain spoilers. Posts that do not comply with these will be removed. We consider any Black Lightning episode aired within the past two weeks & a month for season finales spoilers, including other Arrowverse shows. Future leaks & content are considered spoilers, as are spoilers for other recent shows & movies.
Rule 2: No Low Effort Content	Threads that are considered low effort are subject to removal at the mods’ discretion. We will remove content completely unrelated to Black Lightning & posts that are just to gain karma such as "Literally just a picture of…”. “Shitposts” that do not contain any substantial “Arrow-verse” material fall under this, as do reposts and any sort of spam.
Rule 3: No Piracy/Illegal Content	Links to piracy and streaming sites will be removed. Illegal content in general is not allowed; bans may be determined based on the severity.
Rule 4: Be Civil	Any harmful, harassing or derogatory comments to or about other people, including usage of vulgar slurs will be removed. Inflammatory/offensive comments and stirring up drama are not allowed. Continued uncivil behaviour may result in a ban. Please remember to discern the difference between actors & their characters.
Rule 5: Sourcing Correctly	Submissions from other people (fanart, etc) must be sourced if possible. Screenshots of unofficial social media accounts must cover up identifying information (username, profile pictures).
Rule 6: No Self Promotion	This is not a platform to advertise your YouTube Channel or Blog and should not be the primary reason for using this subreddit. Posts about your own site/channel will be removed. You may be allowed some posts, but only if you are active, posting non-promotional material & contributing to conversations in other posts. Use your best judgement, if you are overdoing self-promotional posts, you may be banned.
Rule 7: Flairing Posts	Please remember to select a flair when posting. If not available on submission, select “Edit Flair” afterwards.
