You've met Bruce Wayne... now, get ready to meet Van Wayne!

Yeah, you read that right. NBC's upcoming DC Universe-set comedy series Powerless will introduce Bruce's cousin, Van, played by none other than Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and based on what we know, he'll be Emily Locke's boss at Wayne Security - a job he likely secured thanks to his family ties.

NBC just released a new promo that introduces Tudyk's character and showcases his dynamic with the more famous Wayne as well as with Vanessa Hudgens' Emily. Check it out below:

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. 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.

Powerless features:
Vanessa Hudgens as Emily Locke
Danny Pudi as Teddy
Alan Tudyk as Van Wayne
Christina Kirk as Jackie
Ron Funches as Ron

Powerless premieres February 2

Not a fan of Hudgens, but Alan Tudyk is just too good.

"The BATMAN Connection"

KikinGonzalez - 1/13/2017, 3:39 PM

@KikinGonzalez - the name of a film*

ElJefe - 1/13/2017, 3:40 PM

So...why didn't Bruce just go live with the rest of his family?

KruseControl23 - 1/13/2017, 6:59 PM

@ElJefe - Don't think too much into it, I'm sure the writers of the show won't.

More Batman than in Fox's Gotham, Still not released and NBC is already winning.

I still liked the insurance agency idea better, but I'm gonna watch this anyways.

Still like the Insurance Agency idea better, but I'll still watch this.

I watched all the promos so far and everything just seems so generic.

"This used to be a diaper company", was that meant to be funny?

thor2273 - 1/13/2017, 4:06 PM

Who came up with this shit?

StormXmen123 - 1/13/2017, 4:07 PM

I there any reason why there isnt a serious live action Batman series?

I understand there is Gothom. But I dont understand why Batman hasnt got his own show. He is highly popular + he would make the most sense for TV,as unlike Superman, spiderman etc, he wouldnt need too much CGI.
