Last night, or tonight (depending on where you are while reading this), NBC premiered its new DC Comics show Powerless. The response was, well, underwhelming, with most people citing the main problem as a lack of laughs – which is obviously an issue for a workplace sitcom. It’s important not to judge a book by its cover though, and for now, there’s enough potential here that it’s worth tuning in next week to see where the series goes.

Giving us some indication of exactly that is a newly released batch of photos for episode two – titled “Wayne Dream Team” – which you can check out above, along with a plot summary that teases what Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) will be getting up to next week.

If you thought The CW wrangling together four shows into a week-long crossover event was peak superhero TV, you probably won’t make it long into Powerless. Although the show isn’t particularly focused on any caped crusaders or men of steel, its lifeblood and humor thrives when its audience will understand why a Civil War dig on a DC Comics show is kind of funny. In reality, NBC’s new not-a-superhero superhero show means well, and has a few moments of clever comic book tie-in gags, but it’s as effective as a syringe of Joker Anti-Laughter Venom when it comes to the comedy department.

Charm City, a taint on the planet in comparison to Gotham according to Van Wayne (Alan Tudyk), is a place crawling with supervillains causing daily destruction and raining death down upon the innocent – and totally apathetic – citizenry.

NBC have released a new trailer for their forthcoming “non-superhero” superhero show Powerless, which stars Vanessa Hudgens, Danny Pudi, Ron Funches, Jennie Pierson, Alan Tudyk, and Christina Kirk.

Airing on February 2nd, Powerless sees Emily Locke (Hudgens) land her dream job as Director of Research and Development for Wayne Security in Charm City, home to super heroes and villains and citizens fed up with the collateral damage of their constant fighting.

Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her aspirations far exceed those of her new boss 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.

"Downton Arby's" could easily have been a one-joke sketch, but this thing is funny, everyone. Using an Arby's franchise as a backdrop for the pomp of "Downton Abbey" is done with a uniquely clever and unwavering tone, and the terrific cast makes us truly believe that all of the Dowager Countess' problems could probably be solved with curly fries.

The fast food staff, starring a tuxedoed Matt Walsh, Richard Kind, Erin Gibson and Jennie Pierson, among others, takes on the stiffness of the British import -- with the hierarchy of running a burger joint mirroring the house-vs.-staff dynamic at play on the PBS hit. Except instead of romantic whispers with chamber maids taking place in the annals of a mansion, they take place at a deep fryer.

This is the fifth video produced for Sketchy, the recently-launched sketch video series on Yahoo! Screen's new comedy channel.
