Bartitsu gets an unexpected shout-out in this preview for a new NBC superhero series:

YouTube- The Cape - Preview

The Bartitsu Society anticipates a sudden rush of kids wanting to learn how to disarm supervillains with their raincoats. More at http://www.bartitsu.org/index.php/20...rama-the-cape/ .

I'm sure that show will be terrible but I want to see it and see it now!

[Gezere]

It has Keith David so I will be watching.

[twisted mind]

It actually looks better than most of the shows out there right now.

"Say hi to Dorothy bitch." lol. I'll tune in for an episode or two.

[Ninnong]

Hell, I'll watch anything with kick-ass midgets in it.

Anyone ever read The Tick? I remember an issue with a cameo by a hero also called The Cape. The difference between that one and this is I doubt NBC's version intended to be ridiculous.

Kic-ass midgets chinnin' Vinnie Jones with a fuckoff great spanna nae less! is this available in the UK?

[helmutlvx]

At least it'll be better than the last season of Heroes

Bartitsu's getting a lot of rep now a days, steam punk must be creeping back into style.
