Sci-fi icon Summer Glau (“Firefly,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” “Dollhouse”) will play a crime-solving blogger who follows the exploits of supervillains in NBC’s pilot “The Cape.”
The pilot, written by Thomas Wheeler (possibly the author of the 2005 novel "The Arcanum"?), centers on a framed-for-murder ex-cop (David Lyons) who becomes a costumed crimefighter to clear his name. As with the movie “Kick-Ass,” nobody has any superpowers.
Bleeding Cool’s review of “The Cape’s” script makes it sound even worse than NBC’s “Heroes,” if that’s possible.
