Powerless TV show. (DC) 0

[NoMan]

Don't know if anyone finds this of interest: on the stage next to the one I work on at Warner Brothers they're putting in a new tv show called Powerless. From what the guys tell me it's a comedy about insurance adjusters that come to scenes of superhero destruction and work out property insurance stuff. They will use DC characters Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Flash.

That could work

That is a ripoff of Marvel's Damage Control property.

geez, read the wiki about the Marvel title and it sounds exactly the same.

do you have the proper permits to start a tv show thread in comics general?

Never heard of it. Don't think it's in the UK?

DC announced Powerless TV show after Marvel announced Damage Control TV show.

 

We've seen on set pictures of Damage Control so it would appear that would come out first?

 

Who knows. Totally hilarious.

It doesn't sound like Marvel to me...kind of the opposite. Marvel is dealing with the aftermath of villain consequences. POWERLESS (the DC one) is dealing with preventing villain consequences. And also with keeping Bruce Wayne's cousin (Alan Tudyk as Van Wayne) in line.

 

I am finding it pretty danged amusing. Fluffy? Yes. But danged amusing!

I'm liking this show so far.  Not as good as The Office or some other workplace settings sitcoms, but add in the proximity to superhero stuff, and that's enough for me.  My wife enjoys it too - so that's a plus.  The intro with the comic book covers is worth a look for anyone who's a comic fan.
