First Photo of Jason Patric as a Cop Amongst Superheroes, inPowers

Here ’s the first official still from the TV cowcatcher based on Powers , the comic - Holy Scripture police procedural set in a world of superheroes . There have been a lot of attempts to make a successful superhero show on television late , but this could be the one that hits .

The pilot , made for FX , just wrapped filming late , but it wo n’t publicize until June 2012 — and that ’s if FX decide to pick it up as a series .

In Powers , produce by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming , superheroes and supervillains are relatively commonplace — but ordinary cops still have to solve offense . The serial follows Christian Walker ( Patric ) and his pardner Deena Pilgrim ( Lucy Punch . ) The pilot also stars Charles S. Dutton and Carly Foulkes ( from the T - Mobile commercial message . ) Walker himself is a former superhero who became a cop after he lost his powers .

talk to the Chicago Sun - Times , producer Charles Eglee ( The Shield , The Walking Dead ) describes the show as a writing style mash - up : “ like , if you took ‘ Se7en ’ and smushed it with ‘ The Dark Knight . ' ” He also say Chicago plays a central role in the serial , and it ’s exceedingly ground in the realities of Chicago policing despite its superheroic element . And he said the show might not stick too closely to the storyline from the strip — and it might make a plot line from a handful of comic issues last an entire season .

FX President John Landgraf , talking to the Sun - Times and other outlets , sounded pretty gung - ho about the serial :

The superhero genre is ripe for reinvention . Everything television has ever done in that genre is the equivalent of [ a 8 or 9 ] o’clock show – promiscuous , breezy [ and ] special outcome - oriented . I ’m not saying that ‘ power ’ is n’t fun , but it aspires to be a serious drama , and it ’s enchanting to me to seek to remold and reinvent familiar genre .
