This looks interesting but I had not heard of him in it until last night.

Here's hoping to a big success.

I'm really not sure about the gimmick here. It seems really thin and I just can't see it holding up for long. Sure superheroes are popular right now, but that doesn't mean throwing some superhero flavor into other genres is going to make them popular.

You never know however. If the writing is good and the actors execute well it could stick, but I'm thinking this is show is easily on the short list for probable cancellation.

NBC’s Powerless is shaping up to be one of the more interesting shows on the upcoming winter TV schedule, injecting some comedy into the frequently humorless world of the DC Universe.

The series has undergone extensive changes in its attempts to blend workplace sitcom antics and superhero mayhem; most notably in the decision to change its setting, a generic insurance company, into a subsidiary of Batman’s corporate piggy bank, Wayne Enterprises.

The change also meant a (non-superheroic) transformation for Alan Tudyk’s boss character, changing him into Van Wayne, a dim-bulb cousin to Bruce.

“You’ve got Trump and then you’ve got the idiot sons,” executive producer Justin Halpern said, describing Van’s relationship to the main Bat family with a bit of political poking at the president-elect.

Tudyk himself seemed happy with the change, saying, “I wasn’t a Wayne before and now I am; totally better.”

Cancelled. I was disappointed, since I thought the show was getting better and finding its comedic feet as it went on.

The last episode is also the last TV appearance of Adam West before his death. It was pretty funny.

Did you think going political was a benefit to them?
