It Appears As If NBC Has Quietly Cancelled DC Comics Sitcom POWERLESS

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.

Damn.... thought it would get a 2nd season.

I still gotta watch Constantine, never knew if that was good or not. Surprisingly the stanbase here never talks about it

Should've been cancelled ages ago. The only thing that got me through the first 2 episodes was vanessa hudgens but that wasn't enough lol

That's what was tempting me to watch the show besides the fact that it was another DC joint. Been meaning to get into this but I guess it's no rush now

Exactly.

This shyt was doomed from the start. DC is trying to do way too much with their television series and giving people shyt that nobody was asking for. The only stuff they've really be able to get right is the CW stuff and even some of that (Legends of Tomorrow) is doing too much.

Marvel is getting to that point too. I can see Cloak and Dagger and that New Warriors show being big flops, same goes for Runaways.

If the comic book bubble bursts it's going to be because of all of these wack ass TV tie ins.

I loved the concept and I think it's something that could work, but it was also missing something that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Vanessa was really good in this.

its the watchable media version of new number 1 issues and gimmick covers on the 90's, right.

Cash grabs make any and every industry implode under their own weight.

Looked gahbage, I literally don't know anyone who was watching this or even talked about it. I saw it mentioned on IGN a few times and that's it.

Now I know damn well you didn't compare this to community.

One and a half episodes was all I could manage. Just not funny to me.
