If you want to know more about the storyline of The Cape, here’s an excellent little synopsis.
“The Cape” stars David Lyons (“ER”)as an honest cop in a corrupt police force who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, which means leaving behind his wife and son.
Here’s where you’ll need to follow along closely: In order to clear his good name and return to the bosom of his family, Good Cop Guy decides to become his son’s favorite fictitious comic book superhero, The Cape.
Interesting strategy.
Keith David will play Max Malini, the ringleader of a “circus gang of bank robbers” who mentor Good Cop Guy and trains him to be The Cape, whose nemesis is a twisted killer who has the advantage of being a billionaire named Peter Fleming, which is so unfair. Then there’s this investigative blogger chick named Orwell – of course there is! She’s played by Summer Glau of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” fame. Throw in a couple good former detectives and you’ve got a series, from the production team of Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun who, once upon a time, ran the entertainment divisions of Fox and ABC, respectively.
