The Cape is an upcoming American one-hour superhero drama series on NBC.

The show will have its 2-hour season premiere on January 9, 2011 at 9 PM ET/PT at NBC.

By the looks of it, The Cape’s trailer reminds of Kick-Ass where the main character patterns his decision to be a superhero from a comic book.

However, the similarity ends there as The Cape packs some serious punch. He is a legitimate superhero and not a wannabe.

The Cape is an innocent cop who has been framed for a crime he did not commit and then left for dead after he is caught. Eventually saved by a circus ringleader who prepares him with special abilities to defend himself against his foes, he takes on a new guise in order to clear his name and protect his family.

Here’s the trailer:

You can watch The Cape online episodes every Monday here after NBC’s 9:00 PM ET/PT time slot.
