For the love of GOD people, it's a COMIC BOOK SHOW! Talking about "oh that would never happen" or "how realistic is this?"

It's a bleeping Comic Book show! If you're HONESTLY debating realism and deducting points because something doesn't seem realistic, you're completely mental and do not deserve to even chime in.

No offense. lol

Well, I get what your saying. You can't really question the realism of it too much because it's not trying to be realistic. However, somethings just jumped out at me. As others have mentioned, jumping out the 10th floor window and having the poisoner get down at the same time. Stuff like that just jumps out at me. I'm fine with super villains, a high tech cape, and surviving unsurvivable situations, but not stupid hack writing.

Another thing that jumped out at me.

[Show spoiler]Chess put his mask on the cape (before he was the cape), to frame him. So now, to the world Chess is dead. But later on Chess wears his get up again. Stupid. What if somebody sees Chess? People might start looking into him and his company. Part of the reason Chess framed The Cape is so the citizens would think his company did what the cops couldn't. So if the city found out he failed they might change their minds about privatized police. At the least it's bad for PR.

Overall, I didn't really enjoy it too much but I'll watch a few more episodes and decide.
