    I think Michael Jai White could pull off Black Lightning. Him or Bronze Tiger would be good looks for MJW.

    ok they do a justice league movie he still isnt a big enough character in the justice league to deserve to be in the movie just because you were on the team doesnt mean your big enough to be in the movie look at the x men movie  gambit was as big as any of them but people thought he wasnt big enough to be in the movie so if they do a justice league movie how could you justify LOl putin him in it

    I think if the movie was good and they had Wesley Snipes or Tyrese Gibson playing him then it wouldn't matter if he's a big enough character or not.

    I don't know who could play him live-action wise but Keith David would be a good voice for him in animation.
