As much as I love the capes, and I do, they really haven´t been lucky in that department, now have they?... Although, to be fair, the same could have been said about the movies... But those HAVE become so much better!... Why the shows haven´t yet, is probably down to a smaller budget & audience, so they don´t have as much to loose & therefore doesn´t always care to do the proper research first...
