Review of The Cape

The Cape (2011)
1/10
Ridiculous nonsense
11 January 2011
After a masked super-villain sets up a cop as a killer, he goes underground and joins another gang of criminals, so he can become a masked super-hero, with the help of a female "techie". As a super-hero, he fights the super-villain (who now controls the city) and other villains, while trying to clear his name and avoid his family. The first two episodes are full of ridiculous plot points. It has much more in common with the 1960s Adam West "Batman" than the 2000s Christian Bale "Batman". "Willing suspension of disbelief" is largely impossible for anyone over the age of 13. It is very unclear why NBC would put out this product. The tone seems aimed at adults, but with this verisimilitude, it will only appeal to children.
