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.
