The Spectre (2010)

DC Showcase short animated film.

Detective Jim Corrigan investigates a murder; later the green cloaked spooky Spectre takes revenge on the people responsible in suitably gruesome style.
The Spectre isn't a superhero in the traditional manner, he’s a supernatural entity, but that just makes him even more badass than usual. Gary Cole does voice work and he’s good, very good. Visually it’s a joy, with some post production jiggery-pokery to make it look like it was shot on cheap 1970’s film stock. The music is also reminiscent of that era. I liked it.
