The Latest Show From DC Comics Is Actually a Straight-Up Comedy

By  22:20  No comments

Chances are you're feeling a bit burnt out on all the superhero movies and TV shows. In the DC Comics universe alone, there's The Flash and Arrow on The CW, plus Jason Momoa's Aquaman, the badassery of Wonder Woman, and their induction into the Justice League on the big screen. If you're exhausted, NBC's Powerless might be exactly what you need. While it is technically a show set in the DC Comics universe, the new comedy focuses on something that's hardly ever addressed in these heroically inclined worlds: the civilians. Let's jump in and dish on what you should expect.

1. The Premise

The series hones in the the normal lives of the commoners who inhabit the dangerous world of superheros. At the center of the narrative is Research and Development at Wayne Security, owned of course by Wayne Enterprises. Their mission? To protect bystanders during epic, destructive superhero battles. The catch is their products aren't exactly fail-safe.

2. The Cast

Vanessa Hudgens stars as Emily, the newest employee of the company. Hudgens is flanked by Alan Tudyk (who plays her boss), and Danny Pudi, Ron Funches, and Christina Kirk (her coworkers).

3. The Superhero Surprises

In an interview at Comic Con in 2016, the cast hinted as some of the heroes we can expect to see. DC's Crimson Fox and Jack O'Lantern battle it out in the first scene of the pilot, and with Wayne Enterprises looming above all the goings-on, it's safe to imagine Batman might show up as well.

4. The First Teaser

In early January, NBC dropped the first 30-second teaser for the series.

5. The Premiere

Powerless premieres on Thursday, Feb. 2 on NBC.
