Ever since, let's say, the 1970's, DC Comics' The Spectre has been repackaged as a iteration of the vengeance or wrath of God. Writer Michael Fleischer created fresh interest in the character with a series of grisly stories in Adventure Comics, which provide the basis for this DC Showcase entry.
Film producer Joseph Bremmer (Jeff Bennett) is killed in an explosion, which gets the attention of the Spectre and his mortal alter-ego, Jim Corrigan (both voiced by Gary Cole), who had been dating the producer's daughter (Alyssa Milano, ex-Charmed, Who's The Boss?). Jon Polito is also heard.
If there was a DC hero that belonged on [adult swim], it'd be the Spectre. Fleischer would've been proud of this production.
Rating: A.
