NBC is looking to make an “Office” style comedy about the DC Comics universe.
Deadline is reporting that Ben Queen the creator of NBC’s ‘A to Z’ along with Warner Bros. TV, has landed a pilot deal with NBC to create Powerless. The new show follows employees at “one of the worst insurance companies in America” – it just so happens that this “America” also exists in the DC Comics Universe. Word is that the show will focus less on the superheroes and more on the employees and their day-to-day lives.
I guess this makes sense since there are thousands of other comic book movies, TV shows and web series.
