After receiving rave reviews at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, it's finally time for fans to get a taste of DC's first comedy series - Powerless!

The series stars Vanessa Hudgens (Grease: Live) as Emily Locke, an employee at Wayne Security, who will arrive at the company with high hopes of bettering the lives of the people that live in this crazy superpowered world. However, things, as they often do, don't exactly go according to plan when she meets her new boss, played by Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), and her quirky co-workers, played by Danny Pudi (Community), Christina Kirk (A to Z), and Ron Funches (Undateable).

Earlier today, NBC released three sneak peek clips from the season premiere, titled "Wayne or Lose," and fifteen promotional stills. Check out the clips below and keep scrolling for a huge batch of photos:

"WAYNE OR LOSE" - 02/02/2017 (08:30PM - 09:00PM) (Thursday)

SERIES PREMIERE - EMILY LOCKE'S FIRST DAY DOESN'T EXACTLY GO AS PLANNED - 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 Van Wayne (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. Danny Pudi, Christina Kirk and Ron Funches also star.

@Invictor - Step #1- Hire the Rock as the new Terminator....no seriously. He is basically a modern day Arnold schwarzenegger anyways.

Is every episode title gonna be some cheesy reference to a DC character I wonder...

@ComicsBornAndBred - Wayne or shine, it will be cheesy.

This looks like a show I won't watch.

KWilly - 1/20/2017, 5:54 PM

You know what, I didn't like the look of this show at first. Don't get me wrong, I still don't. But I wouldn't mind checking it out though, it's gotten my attention.

Wayne Or Lose?

[frick] NBC!

Sadly nothing shown so far amuses me in the slightest. And the whole Wayne angle just annoys me to a point where I might not even give this a chance. Too much Batman in the DC media multiverse...

@KingPatel - "Rave reviews at San Diego Comic-Con"? Uh, no it didn't... it got decidedly mixed to negative reviews, hence why they decided to completely change the premise, reshoot the pilot, and the show runner departed over creative differences.

I would also be tempted to question your description of these clips as "funny" in the description, since like everything else we've seen from this show so far it all looks tamely unfunny, but I guess we are all entitled to own opinions.

Still, I'm incredibly disappointed by what im seeing from this show so far. That said, unlike a few others I'm not entirely convinced this will get immediately cancelled since there seems to be a pretty low bar when it comes to having a successful comedy show on TV.... after all, Two Broke girls has inexplicably been running for like 5 seasons now??
