A new trailer and poster (above) have arrived for DC’s first comedy series… Powerless.

What would you do if you lived in a world where superheroes regularly destroyed everything? Well, you’d try to protect yourself and there’d be companies, like Wayne Corp, that would create these protections.

And that’s where Powerless comes in.

Can DC Continues its run of great TV shows with a comedy? We’ll all find out next month.

Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) lands her dream job as Director of Research and Development for Wayne Security in Charm City, home to super heroes and villains and citizens fed up with the collateral damage of their constant fighting. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her aspirations far exceed those of her new boss 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 Powerless cast also includes Alan Tudyk (Moana, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Danny Pudi (Community, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Christina Kirk (Along Came Polly, A – Z).

Ben Queen serves as writer and executive producer. Michael Patrick Jann (who directed the pilot) also executive produces. Powerless is produced by Warner Bros. Television and based on the characters from DC Comics.

Powerless debuts on Thursday, February 2nd.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
