Summer Glau

Curious about the character that Summer Glau will be playing in NBC’s pilot The Cape? You’re in luck, thanks to KSiteTV.

Here are some more details about Glau’s “intrepid investigative blogger,” known to Vince Faraday and others as “Orwell”…

Like Chloe’s “Watchtower” on Smallville, Orwell has a “penthouse lair” overlooking the city. This lair also sounds a bit like what Oracle had on Birds of Prey.

Soon after we meet her she’s determined to find out who The Cape is and who it is he works for. It doesn’t take long for her to figure him out, and when Vince Faraday (The Cape, played by David Lyons) finds out what she has learned, he becomes defensive, though it seems that she might become one of his first allies in uncovering the “dirty cops” and villainy in Palm City.

And a non-Summer Glau spoiler for The Cape: Even the bad guys think Vince Faraday is – or was – the criminal known as “Chess.”
