Fox is showing interest in producing a drama adapted from DC Comics character The Spectre, yet another DC property after their recent run with Human Target.

The Spectre was created by Jerry Siegel and Bernard Baily and made his first full appearance in 1940’s More Fun Comics #52. The character is what could be best described as the spirit of vengeance. He is a lost soul who reaps on the wicked. Most recently The Spectre’s human form on Earth as Jim Corrigan was portrayed as a police officer who worked within the pages of one of the best comics of the past ten years, Gotham Central.

Warner Home Video will release the DC Showcase Animated Original Shorts Collection on DVD and Blu-ray on November 9, 2010, which will collect three previously released DC animated shorts, as well as include a new title Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam.

The three animated shorts included are extended versions of the shorts which appeared on other WB animated DVDs. The Spectre, Jonah Hex, and Green Arrow will each run 10 to 12 minutes.

The Blu-ray release will include over 2 1/2 hours of bonus material, including commentaries from Bruce Timm and the creative team for all four shorts, as well as bonus episodes and a digital copy.
