NBC's The Cape Another Tired Superhero Drama

Let?s say you?ve been given the chance to develop an original superhero series for television. It?s for broadcast television, though, so you can?t go too far with the language and violence. Oh, and the main character doesn?t actually have any superpowers, see, but he does have that famous superhero accoutrement, a cape, that enables him to do some pretty nifty things. Would you then decide to make your main character a cop who?s been framed for a crime he didn?t commit, who hooks up with a gang of circus folk and decides to fight crime while clearing his name and protecting his family under the alias The Cape? Would you call the show The Cape? Of course you wouldn?t, but then you?re not NBC, still all a-dither over how it screwed up Heroes after its first season and fully aware that all those Iron Men and Batmen still seem to be pretty popular with the kids.
