WATCH NOTE

2010 DC Showcase animated short written by Steve Niles and directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, with animation by Moi Animation. Gary Cole voices Jim Corrigan / The Spectre; Alyssa Milano voices Aimee Brenner; Jeff Bennett voices Foster Brenner, Peter McCoy and Flemming; Rob Paulsen voices Drew Flynn, Lt. Brice and Deandra; Jon Polito voices Police Captain. The official-credit transcription spells Paulsen's additional role Deandra, rather than the catalogue's Deandre label. Originally released February 23, 2010 with the Blu-ray and two-disc special-edition DVD of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, separately from that feature. Original presentation: 11:51, rounded to 12 minutes. The November 9, 2010 DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection includes an extended version of the same story; choose either cut to avoid repetition. No other DC adaptation is established as required. Animated Elseworlds collects separate continuities. Individual official DC character-profile matches, the extended cut's exact duration and complete silent/background appearance coverage remain unresolved.
