A new comedy set in DC Comics Universe has landed at NBC, according to a scoop from Deadline. The Peacock has ordered a pilot for "Powerless", a half-hour single-camera comedy from "A to Z" creator Ben Queen and Warner Brothers TV.

The show is based on characters from DC Comics. It's a workplace comedy taking place at one of the worst insurance companies in America about the reality of working life for a normal, powerless person in a world of superheroes and villains.
