Furthermore, Corrigan is someone who is obsessed with justice, and who doesn&#8217;t let police procedure or red tape stop him from putting away the bad guys, even if the bad guys turn out to be inhuman.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Previously DC had revealed that they wanted to bring the character to the show, and eventually even spin the character off into his own show, and hopefully if his appearance takes off the way we hope, we may see a &#8220;Spectre&#8221;
