Powerless
Powerless is a workplace comedy sitcom set in the DC universe. It’s set around the work life of powerless everywoman Emily Locke as she delves in to the hectic and insane work environment of Wayne Security.

Indeed while it is fantastic for such an A-lister to turn up, the writers are graceful enough to balance his introduction and still maintain that this show is about Kara, AKA Supergirl.
