NBC Creates Its Own Batman With The Cape

She aides The Cape with her blogging expertise.

How in the hell does posting shit only you care about on the internet help fight crime? That just doesn't make sense. Maybe she googles for him because he's like my dad who couldn't find google with google. Seriously. The guy once lost his glasses when they were on his face and he was looking through them.

Firefly's Summer Glau stars in the show

Well, I'll be watching it. And it'll probably be canned.

 

[Dexiro]

Of all "super"heroes you can recreate why rip off batman.

 

[Jonny49]

Well...at least it can't suck as much as Heroes did.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Eurgh.

I think I'll pass (for now).

Spoiler: Why on earth is he wearing a rubbish bag?

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

This sounds pretty awesome. Look forward to checking it out

Fully agree. Lets hope its well done though since I've seen some SHIT superhero TV Shows.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Sounds rather uncreative to me, at least as far as the title is concerned. Is that really the best name they could come up with?

 

[AMMO Kid]

Heroes got canceled? I wish they had done that before they milked it stupid into a bucket of bad ideas.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

"The Cape" is a terrible name for a superhero.

That's all I have to contribute.

 

[Erana]

The number of caped superheroes appearing on television in the fall recently increased by one.

I really enjoy the taglines you come up with, Tom. This one makes me giggle every time I read it.

Anyone else thinking that this is a pilot idea, and that if it proves popular Ubisoft will suddenly announce that AC3 is set in the modern day?

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I read that Summer Glau is involved and have now resolved to watch this, wuality or no.

That said there's no reason it should be bad, and from what I hear Heroes was good if you got into it and liked it.

After reading this article the only thing that came to mind was "Chess is an awesome name for a supervillain."

 

[Kimarous]

The Cape's nemesis is (...) moonlighting as a twisted killed named Chess rather than a hero with bat ears.

So... he's undead?

Typo jokes aside, the premise sounds so incredibly bland and generic that I don't the series will last very long.

 

[Kavonde]

Wow, this is either going to be Chuck and Kick-Ass's illegitimate love child, or Heroes and Daredevil's.

 

[Nerf Ninja]

Christ, this sounds pathetic!

I think I'd rather watch Adrian Paul in "The Owl" again thanks.

 

[Shamanic Rhythm]

As already mentioned, how the hell does 'blogging expertise' help fight crime? "Wait! He's tagged his weak spot! Just let me google it!"

 

[Krakyn]

Firefly's Summer Glau stars in the show as an investigative blogger also trying to take on crime and corruption in Palm City. She aides The Cape with her blogging expertise.

*sigh*

I hate this world.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

It does look like they mixed Alex Mercer and Altair, then threw in a dose of The Hood for good measure. Seeing as how it's on NBC, we can expect it to suck, stay on until it starts getting good and then cancelled right when people start getting into it.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

This actually sounds awesome. I can't wait for it to come to Sweden.
