The Spectre absolutely could carry a solo movie. Just not likely one that the "general audience" would want to see, given the general darkness of the material. It wouldn't be a super-hero movie, it would be a horror movie where the "supernatural killer" just happens to be the Good Guy, and his "victims" would be the rapists, murderers, etc. Something like The Crow except more supernatural, and instead of sticking the bad guys full of needles and knives, he'd turn them into trees and giant wax candles and sh*t like that, whatever "ironic" punishment best fit the nature of their specific crimes.

"Too much" for the general audience, though. Hard R, "disturbing imagery" and "graphic violence", yadda yadda. But a Spectre movie, done right, would be absolutely amazing. "IF."

Dr. Fate would definitely work, too. But as usual they'd be damned by being second to market, since Dr. Strange already came out and the characters are so similar in many ways. Which was no accident; Strange was a ripoff of Fate, but people wouldn't know that so they'd just make fun of it.
