According to various internet reports, Fox has acquired live-action TV rights to adapt DC Comics' "The Spectre", originally created by "Superman" writer Jerry Siegel with illustrator Bernard Baily.
Debuting with a lead story of 'daring exploits' in "More Fun Comics" #52 (February 1940), the original premise followed a drowned, hard-boiled cop named 'Jim Corrigan', whose deceased spirit is refused entry into the afterlife. Corrigan is then sent back to Earth as 'The Spectre' to eliminate evil on the order of the disembodied entity, 'The Voice'.
Feared as the most powerful known being in the universe, 'The Spectre' becomes capable of any feat while utilizing the mystic 'Ring of Life', starting a campaign of vengeance against Corrigan's killers in a grim, supernatural fashion, with victims turned to skeletons after a single touch.
The Spectre is eventually awarded charter membership in the first comic book superhero team, the 'Justice Society of America',...
