James Gunn's DCU could allow an overlooked DC show to make the most out of its premise. James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU is set to explore an entirely new DC continuity its 12-project Gods and Monsters chapter, which will introduce dozens of famous and obscure DC characters in both live-action and animation.

Why Powerless Is DC's Most Underrated TV Show Powerless Explored The DC Universe Like No Other Movie Or Show Ever Has Powerless' main hook is its incredibly simple premise: the DC Universe as seen from the eyes of regular people. As Powerless' opening credits show, the series' main characters are those pedestrians who get kidnapped by the supervillains, get saved by the heroes, run away from catastrophic battles, or simply appear in the background of the comic book pages.

Why Powerless Didn't Connect To Any Other DC Shows & Movies NBC's Powerless Show Faced A Huge DC Obstacle Since Its Inception Unfortunately for Powerless, the show lacked a key element that it needed to explore its innovative premise to its full extent. Back in 2017, DC still kept their film and TV projects separate, blocking several shows from using movie characters and storylines.

Now that James Gunn's DCU is unifying movies, shows, and videogames — as well as live-action and animation — it could have its own version of Powerless. The DCU's Powerless could still follow regular humans exclusively, but it would be able to incorporate key DCU figures like Superman and Batman, as well as minor characters from every corner of the DC Universe.
