"What Harley fails to mention is the trigger for the Spectre's powers. He's the embodiment of Divine wrath and judgment and is charged with bringing justice to those who do evil, such as spilling the blood of the innocent." Which, Dick figured, should mean that Harley would be a bit less enthusiastic about him being around, seeing as her hands were probably the bloodiest in the room. "He's bound to the soul of a human, though, as a way of keeping the spirit..." He paused. "Accountable is the wrong word. But the idea is that the human is meant to be impartial and keep the power of the spirit reigned in if it isn't needed.

"Which is where we run into the first part of the problem. The Spear can be used to free the Spectre and he can use his own power to fix Corrigan, but..." He leaned forward, looking at them each. "It'll get messy. Even with Corrigan's judgment to reign him in, there's going to be a lot of deaths. Not just of Superman and most of his Justice League, but a lot of people around them. And it might not be people who have killed innocents but anybody who has killed somebody else." And with that, he glanced toward Batman before turning back to the others.

He reached over, silently asking for the keyboard to pull up some pictures. "The other half of the problem is what we need to do it." He managed to bring up a picture of Adolf Hitler holding an ancient spear. "The Spear of Destiny, also known as the Lance or Spear of Longinus. It's the spear that was used to pierce the side of Christ to check that he was dead on the cross. During World War II, it came into the possession of Hitler, who used it to prevent American superhumans of the time from interfering. Before the Spectre at the time was able to take it away, Hitler managed a ritual that's basically cursed the Spear. It'll corrupt those who holds it with that same sort of megalomaniacal madness."
