It Appears As If NBC Has Quietly Cancelled DC Comics Sitcom POWERLESS

Bad news for Powerless fans today (not that there are very many based on the ratings) as it appears as if NBC has dropped yet another DC Comics adaptation. Hit the jump for all we know so far...

It's been revealed today that NBC has removed Powerless from its Tuesday night lineup. No official announcement has been made in regards to the future of the show or the scheduling change, but the comedy also appears to be missing from the NBC website, so chances are it's been cancelled.

An episode called "No Consequence Day" was supposed to air this week, with "Win, Luthor, Draw" airing on May 4th. However, both have been replaced with extra episodes of sitcom Superstore

Powerless premiered to poor ratings back in February and the show had been heavily retooled by then with new casting additions, a setting closely tied to Batman, and a cheesy tone which seemed like a far cry from what we saw in the first trailer. None of that helped, though, and it seems like NBC's love affair with DC Comics could be at an end after cancelling both Constantine and now this as well.

@Kman - Me neither, this is why I didn't bother giving the show a shot. I knew NBC would end up cancelling the show at some point (whether it be during season 1 or season 2).

This network has a bad history when it comes to cancelling/ending shows.

@Kman - Great concept but the comedic timing was way off on this show. Everything felt forced and unnatural.

Never watched it, but it's pretty unfortunate because the cast they put together was really good.

@Menks123 - I enjoyed the show. Took it as an elsworld comedy. Like the Easter eggs and appreciated D.C. Allowed them to use their universe as a backdrop. Sad more comic book fans can't enjoy a comedy set in a superhero world. An interesting idea I was against at first. Surprised it got the green light to begin with. But damn finish the season.
