NBC released a teaser earlier this month (see “First Teaser for 'Powerless'”), but this trailer is full of more superhero mayhem and mishaps, along with the comically cutting edge gadgets to protect normal people from becoming collateral damage. Since it is set in the DC Universe, there are mentions of Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman, and a background appearance by Starro.
In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss (Alan Tudyk) and officemates, so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don’t need superpowers to be a hero.
The show premieres on Thursday, February 2 at 8:30/7:30c.
