Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced the Blu-ray release of the first PlayStation Network scripted series, Powers: The Complete First Season. The PlayStation Original series stars Sharlto Copley, Susan Heyward, Noah Taylor, Eddie Izzard and Logan Browning, and arrives on Blu-ray on July 14th.
Based on the 2004 comic book series of the same name from artist Michael Avon Oeming and writer Brian Michael Bendis, Powers asks, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren't actually heroic at all? What if all their "powers" were just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the brave people in charge of protecting humans like us and keeping the peace over commercialized, god-like men and women who glide through the sky imposing their power over the mortals who both worship and fear them.
The series follows LAPD "Powers Division" detectives Christian Walker (Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Heyward) as they investigate homicide cases involving people with superhuman abilities. Walker, once operating as a power until he lost his abilities to the super villain Wolfe (Izzard), now operates with just a gun and a badge to take down the formidable foes plaguing Los Angeles.
The 3-disc Blu-ray release of Powers: The Complete First Season features series episodes 1-10 presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Extras include:
Policing the All Powerful: Envisioning and Filming Powers
From One Visual Medium to Another: The Art and Adaptation of Powers
