The Cape from NBC has a lead director and is according to a lot of review websites the latest attempt from the channel to get their superhero ratings turn gold. This series was successful in snagging the leading man and to add to the astonishment, it is another Aussie on the way to make inroads in Hollywood. The director of this series is definitely a leading prizewinner -Simon West, Con Air and The Human Target famed and has as well been assigned pilot to direct the duties. Even the website called Bleeding Cool has successfully located as well reviewed with the pilot script of the series. They seem to be happy with what they saw, although are not exactly frenzied of it.
Despite the title The Cape is not related to any comic book superhero as depicts the name. The ground is based on the framing of an honest cop and the revenge that follows. The cop named Vince Faraday is played by an Australian actor called David Lyons. The plot is based in a fictional city where this framed cop gets hunted down by bad guys until they are sure that he is dead or has been killed. Once everyone knows him to be dead, our hero Faraday with the help of a trainer from a former carnival group and the others from the same group returns back as the costumed superhero with no such superpowers but martial art skills.
SHOE CARNIVAL
As The Cape, Faraday is hell-bent to clean the city up of dishonest cops, corrupt politicians and bad guys, and has a burning desire in his heart to keep his family safe and reunite with them once all of it is over. The interesting angle to this series is the fact that none of them have superpowers but are costumed as such. This fact however makes this series ironically opposite to another of the bona fide hits of NBC -Heroes.
The Cape Is No Comic Book Hero SHOE CARNIVAL
