Movie Filmed at DHA: Black Lightning

In 2018, the CW show Black Lightning was filmed in parts of Decatur.

According to Ra Moon, "Black Lightning is the latest superhero to join the CW network channel along with Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl. The D.C. Comics African-American character is back into action to fight a local gang called the 100, after nine years retired due to the impact this kind of life had on his family.

The show is based on the popular DC Comics character stars, among others Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce (Prison Break, Close to Home), China Anne McClain as his younger daughter, Nafessa Williams as the older daughter, and the rapper Krondon as the bad guy.

But, where is Black Lightning set? The fictional city of Freeland from Black Lightning was filmed in Atlanta and surroundings in Georgia. The Seahorse Motel from the first episode is the Economy Inn in Decatur."
