The Spectre makes his animated debut as the title character in the inaugural entry within the DC Showcase series of animation shorts. Gary Cole (Entourage) provides the voice of The Spectre.
Hot damn! This is what I like to wake up to – the first official images from Warner and DC Comics‘ new animated short, The Spectre! While the pics and the accompanying info in the press release don’t contain much new information (outside of the fact that we’re eventually going to get a Jonah Hex cartoon written by Joe R. Lansdale!!!), it is nice to finally sneak a peak at the short. I’m really digging the character designs, from what little we can see here, in the three images provided and I have high hopes for the Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) script. The Spectre will be distributed February 23 by Warner Home Video as part of the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Blu-ray/DVD (read details and watch the trailer here.) Here’s what Warner Home Video has to say about the short film:
