BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD: THE SPECTRE

The Spectre returns to appear in the opening segment of "Gorillas in Our Midst!," Friday's new episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

"He's based more on the classic Spectre than the current cosmic version," said Todd Casey who wrote the episode, "much like the Spectre you see in the (Justice League:) Crisis on Two Earths DVD, where he's very vengeance-oriented.

"It's kind of like a Twilight Zone-ish twist on it, with Batman, The Spectre and Achilles Milo."

Like in the "Chill of the Night!" episode, The Spectre is voiced by Mark Hamill.
