>The trailer begins noting "the next great hero" is on their way, and we see imagery of Batman and Superman facing each other that looks like an altered Batman v Superman promotional image.
>We see main character Emily (Vanessa Hudgens) riding a train to work with other morning commuters, when a big battle involving the DC's Crimson Fox (Atlin Mitchell) causes the train to derail. Crimson Fox catches the train, but Emily, unimpressed by what's happening, looks out the window and asks the superhero, “Sorry to interrupt, could you put us back on the tracks?” while another woman yells, “My shift at Orange Julius starts at 9!”
>We get more of a look at life in this reality where the DC superheroes are a fact of life, as Emily notes in a voice over she’s “a claims adjuster for a very special kind of insurance company.” We see one of Emily’s coworkers ask, “Since the damage was caused by Wonder Woman, should we deny as an act of god?,” to which Emily replies, “Technically, she’s a demigod, so it’s kind of grey area.”
>Emily is shown meet her new boss, Del (Alan Tudyk), who turns out to be something of a nightmare – demanding a “25% increase in denials by the end of the month.”
>As Emily stands up to Del, she begins to feel more empowered and “I Need a Hero” (from Footloose) plays, as she walks into the office in slow-mo, her long coat flapping like a cape around her. She’s also seen interacting with her friend and coworker Teddy (Danny Pudi), who asks her, “Can I be your sidekick? I’ve got a utility belt.”
>During all of this, we continue to see examples of the DC heroes permeating the existence of these characters . Hawkman is shown on the cover of Rolling Stone, looking very much like his classic, bare chested comics incarnation more than the Legends of Tomorrow version. And we see someone yell, “He’s not Green Lantern! I have proof!” about a good looking man with dark hair.
>As the trailer ends, Emily’s coworker, Jackie, declares “I wanna nail Aquaman so hard.”

is it in the same universe as Arrow and the Flash?
is it the same universe as Community and Hannibal?

Felicity will not fail this city.
>>82835360
No and no, respectively.
>>82835394
Yes and no, respectively.
This is going to get canceled so fast

You were probably joking, but Hannibal actually is part of a shared continuity as it's part of Fuller's universe which consists of Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Hannibal, and probably the upcoming American Gods adaptation he's doing. Probably not his Star Trek show, though.
Interested in seeing how this goes. Sounds fun.

I'll say.
Am I right, guys?

It almost sounds like they want it to be a comedy...shakemuhheadpham.
This whole set up sounds like Damage Control.
>>82835622
Huh, I'm surprised that it looks pretty similar to her comics version. I wonder if she still has pheromone powers
They should have put it in the CWverse and had crossovers. I'd kill to see stephen amell as Oliver Queen getting to be funny for a change.
>>82835707
They obviously mean in recent years
>>82834693
How did we end up in a world where Vanessa Hudgens and Danny Pudi have the same level of star power?
>>82835552
>Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies are part of the same universe
WHY DIDNT I KNOW THIS BEFORE, HOLY SHIT
>>82834693
this looks like it could be a fun ride. Got a great cast, lets hope the writing is good
>“I wanna nail Aquaman so hard.”
come on, you had one job! Make a fish joke!
I liked it better when it was called Damage Control and over at Marvel.
Nice job, Warners. With all the DC books to adapt, you fucking rip off a Marvel one.
why didnt they do Gotham Central instead of this?
same sorta concept but better
>>82836061
Like they're not reaping each other off all the time.
>>82834693
Ehhhhhhhhh that sounds like a show that will be constantly uneven in both tone and quality.
>>82834693
>no trailer yet
>already given a full series order
Fuck me, they're really going for it.
>>82835622
Isn't Crimson Fox actually a pair of twins?
>>82835707
Batman and Robin and GL weren't supposed to be comedies, but The 60s show was about 60% comedic, so I'm shocked they forgot about it.
>>82834693
Half of /co/ is gonna hate it because Reddit or Tumblr or something. They won't actually watch it, but they need to make sure the secret club stays secret.
The other half will probably either love it or hate it, kinda like Gotham.
>>82834693
>Silly show about superheroes
>we might get more direct costume transitions from comic to tv like >>82835622
