Intriguingly, one of the unscheduled episodes features Batman himself, or at least ‘60s TV Batman Adam West, playing the role of a higher-up at Wayne Security.
It’s entirely possible NBC will schedule the remaining two episodes for a later date, or at least make them available online, but stay tuned for word of Powerless’ fate.
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.
Having been heavily revamped from its concept as an insurance comedy, Powerless’ full synopsis reads: 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.
