NBC isn’t kidding around with comedy this pilot season.

Powerless is the latest comedy pilot ordered by NBC from Ben Queen that will follow the lives of the insurance company employees set in the DC Comics universe. Undoubtedly, an insurance company would fittingly have an ungodly workload in a world full of superheroes and supervillains.

Being referenced as The Office with a DC Comics backdrop, would their be an actually sinister Dwight?
