Welcome to the third installment of The Comic Casting Couch!

After two weeks of voting, it seems that the winner has been crowned, THE WAY OF THE IRON FIST!
Once again, we travel to the recesses of my imagination and wonder, what if they where to let me make a movie with the comic characters of my choice? Yes, I to can hear Hollywood giving a collective GASP of horror! Well, this time, my choice is BLACK LIGHTNING!
