Title: Powerless
Post by: AshKetchum on May 13, 2016 at 08:45 PM: (http://i.imgur.com/Bk9Yzmo.jpg)

Set in the DC Comics Universe, Powerless is a workplace comedy that takes place in an insurance company tasked to help out average people affected by the wanton destruction of superhero fights. Set to premiere this Fall, Powerless has been given a full series order by NBC. Though major DC superheroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and others will not be appearing, expect lots of B-grade and obscure DC heroes and villains to show up.

Cast includes Vanessa Hudgens, Danny Pudi, Alan Tudyk, Christina Kirk

nope; I think it's set in the mainstream DC Universe, not the shows in the Berlanti Arrowverse.

Post by: AshKetchum on Feb 04, 2017 at 06:17 PM: The changed the Pilot and the overall premise of the show-- instead of an insurance office, it's now a Wayne Enterprises subsidiary. Feedback on this changed pilot wasn't good, I guess they made a big mistake in restructuring the show.

The best version of NBC’s Powerless is one most people will never see (http://www.polygon.com/tv/2017/2/3/14483658/powerless-nbc-san-diego-comic-con)

Post by: Mr. Hankey on Feb 09, 2017 at 09:12 PM: Yeah, that pilot was 50 shades of tae.

But I'll give it 2 more episodes, since I like the cast. If it doesn't improve... life's too short.

From a Warner Bros. Television press release:

Gotham comes to Charm City when the iconic Adam West, who played the role of Batman on television in the Sixties, guest stars in an upcoming episode of Powerless as Dean West, chairman of Wayne Industries. Following an attack on Gotham City, Wayne Industries has to make some cuts and Mr. West visits Charm City to deliver the bad news to Van and Emily. Will the dynamic duo of Van and Emily be able to save the team at Wayne Security, or are our Charm City Heroes destined for the unemployment line?

Executive producers Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern said, “Powerless is billed as DC’s first comedy, but we’ll always view Mr. West as the founding father of comedy in the DC Universe, thanks to his work in the original Batman television series. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a living legend.”
