NBC Orders Pilot For DC Comics Workplace Comedy POWERLESS
This might just be the perfect show for you! NBC are teaming up with a former A To Z writer to create a workplace sitcom in the vein of The Office - set in the world of DC superheroes!
Imagine The Office set in the world of superheroes. That's what former A To Z creator Ben Queen looks to be attempting with his new half-hour workplace sitcom, Powerless. According to Deadline, it's a series set in a US insurance company that exists in the DC Comics universe. The show will demonstrate "the reality of working life for a normal, powerless person in a world of superheroes and villains", adding a little humor and levity to this otherwise fairly dramatic genre.
Produced by Warner Bros TV, Powerless has just landed a pilot production commitment from NBC. Deadline's sources claim that there's still no word on which DC characters could appear, but that it's "not expected to include the biggest DC brands like Batman and Superman." Regardless, this sounds like a pretty amusing and creative take on the increasingly popular superhero genre, and may even serve as a platform for some of DC's lesser known heroes and villains.
What do you think of the show's premise? Will you tune in if NBC give the pilot a green light? And which DC characters would you like to see cameo or appear? Sound off below!
