For now, anyway.
CW president Mark Pedowitz said: "If [the showrunners] wish to bring it in, that is their call. We had a long discussion with the studio, Mara [Brock Akil], Salim [Akil] and myself.
"We were fine with them making it separate from the Arrowverse, they have a different point a view. If they end up wanting to go that way, that will be their decision."
Originally developed for Fox, The CW picked up Black Lightning in the spring.
