We take a brief detour from the epic adventures of Batman and Robin to put the spotlight on the equally epic adventures of Jonah Hex.
There was a Jonah Hex movie, actually, with Josh Brolin... but we pretend like there wasn't.
Great casting. Bad movie.
If you want something good check out DC Showcase Jonah Hex.
@@kalvinelward4938 I have. I love that DC Showcase!
I would recommend the Jonah Hex DC showcase or the animated comics playlist avoid Justice League Warlord
Fun fact the mayor here 7:44 is voiced by Senator Patrick Leahy he is a huge batman fan and he cameod in batman and robin, dark knight, dark knight rises and batman vs superman, also his article about land mines was featured in the comic Batman: Death of Innocents a very dark story written by Dennis O'Neil
The biggest Batman fan
About Ra's and his desire to save the planet, it's never explicitly stated when he started to develop that goal. He's 600 years old (in most versions, in some he's much younger like around 200 while in others he's outright in the thousands) so it's obvious his mindset has evolved with history too. At least in the previous centuries, the degradation of Earth was far from what it became after the Industrial Revolution so there wasn't any worry to have about this. At the very least, he already had his opinion about the vast majority of mankind being rotten to the core.
As for why he uses industrial means to get what he wants even if he obviously knows this damages the environement, well if there's anything a 600 years old man has to learn is that you have to evolve and live with your time. Imagine being in our world today; you wouldn't really go that far using swords and spears. To be able to to influence history, Ra's would have had to acknowledge technological and social evolutions. Knowing him, he probably saw it as a necessary evil he had to put up with until he reaches his goal.
And of course, there's the fact the Lazarus Pit causes his mind to degrade over time and go more and more insane so it probably played its part.
Oooh Jonah Hex! Personally I think he’s DC’s version of Geralt, though a tad more violent and uncivilized in the comics.
There’s a DC showcase (movie) of Jonah Hex too! Along with Green Arrow, the Spectre, and other minor characters you wouldn’t find in mainstream movies.
I’ve seen that movie and it is very good!
The writer of this episode, Joe R Lansdale wrote three Jonah Hex mini series; Two-Gun Mojo, Riders of the Worm and Such, and Shadows West. There’s also an ongoing series written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti that was well received. The Jonah Hex live action film was not well received but there’s a really good Jonah Hex animated short included on the Under the Hood DVD and collected in DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection
Great we are going to see Jonah Hex my favorite DC character
in the old west and i used to have a lot of Jonah Hex comic books
back in the 70's and 80's have a fantastic Sunday Meg.💞🐶🐶💞
Do you keep the comics?
Usually Jonah Hex is in his 30's (?), has brown hair & earlier in the comics he always wore his confederate uniform even after the Civil War.
He usually kill his bounty like many other cowboy bounty hunter characters, but this was a kids show so you know...
Jonah Hex does appear in Justice League War World movie it came out very recently. It's a great watch.
In Justice League: Unlimited Jonah reappears again with other western heroes under DC's property.
Loved those episodes
"Sir, you have such a weird relationship with your children" Oh, you have no idea.
Also Jonah Hex was wearing the hat and coat of a confederate soldier's uniform. That was the side he fought on during the Civil War.
Jonah Hex would make a great movie
... you'd think
He will, when we'll get filmmaker that actually writes for him and not OC with the same name.
Yeah hum, let's not talk about...that.
13:10 You don't even know yet...
You should watch DC showcase it has one for Jonah Hex and all kinds of characters that you might not have been introduced to yet.
Jonah Hex is at his best when he shows up in someone else’s show
Idk why I never read any Jonah Hex comics before but now I want to lol & best thing about him he just doing his thing out in the West & if there’s ever a story where he has to work with modern day heroes they usually use time travel to get him
I like how for a while in the 80s he was transported to the post-apocalyptic future for a few years lol
Oh thats dope lol and it does remind me of Adam Strange a bit in how moves around alot@@Filbi
Ah one of my personal favorite episodes this episode introduced me to Jonah Hex and he quickly became my personal favorite fictional old western badass because realize this Jonah chased Ra’s and his son from the east coast to the west coast and he stood both of them down and won
0:57 The...Night...Monkey...
Say what you want about Ra's, his steam punk inventions looked cool as heck.
Tbf, when you are 600 years old and are rich enough to create a world-wide organization, you better have some cool tech.
He might've borrowed Dr. Arliss Loveless' blueprints.
If you are interested in WWI, I would recommend the channel "The Great War", which did a week by week breakdown exactly 100 years later. It's a lot, but definitely a great way to understand what was happening.
I would recommend reading some Enemy Ace comics! DC Universe hero from World War One
I like that channel
Thanks for the video Meg! :)
Damn I never knew until now that Jonah Hex is an actual character and not some random badass in a flashback episode.
I did not know who Jonah Hex but love him ever sinces
The voice sounded like metallo's voice actor
a cannonball and a little gunpowder burst doesn't damage the environment, especially if it's not sustained indefinitely. It's the massive coal-burning that revolution started, and the weapons that came after that output more massive quantities. it's the plants and factories. i'd say the trains output more gases than the weapons of the time.
One of my favorite episodes.
Jonah hex is criminally underused
Jonah Hex has his own movie
People have this misunderstanding that Jason Todd is the edgy, brutal Robin - nah, Dick is the menace Robin. On a bad day, he'd absolutely brutalise a henchman by exclusively going for the nuts. Absolutely humiliate this grown ass man as he gets his nuts stomped by a child who's voice hasn't cracked yet. Poor Jason was a sweet boy as Robin before the Lazarus Pit. "Being Robin gives me magic" is one of his most iconic phrases. Richard Grayson on the other hand - just wanted to vent his anger out. Somewhere down the line, their personalities got switched because including Jason meant including death, and that was a sunday morning cartoon no-no. BTAS actually just skipped Jason and went straight for Tim Drake.
@@dupersuper1938 Dick Grayson tweak out moments are stuff of legend - don’t remember the book but this one time little bro punched Joker dead. Also the Teen Titans show was all Dick Grayson tweaks out and starts throwing hands that’d scare Batman straight.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of The Adventures of Batman & Robin!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Meg hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Jonah wouldn’t fly as a pitch today I think. I’m not sure any amount of klansman hunting would make up for him fighting on the southern side of the civil war. The complexity of that war - everything on top of slavery - is very difficult to look in the face.
He left the Confederate army after Lincoln freed the slaves. He joined when he thought his home was being invaded.
@@LRM23936 Yeah, but what I mean is… that’s still a little too tarred with that brush to escape today’s critical lenses.
Can't argue with you.
:) We Neet More Love For THE DC Cowboys
Yeah. As much as I love DC, I need to get more familiar with their western characters. I’m not normally a fan of westerns, but they might connect with me better in comic form!
ain't the last we see of the old west in the DCAU. :)
I love how the DCU encompasses western, WWII, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy series within the larger universe
@@Filbi yes
hi Meg
hey meg will you ever see the lego batman movie?
This is one of the episodes I remember from my childhood, exactly because it didn't center around Batman. In fact it humanizes Ras and sort of builds him as almost as a family member. As if Ras and his family are involved with the Waynes on such a deeper level. At least that's how I saw it.
Hello, Meg! How you doing?
I think you skipped one episode, The Terrible Trio. It's the first episode of season two of The Adventures of Batman & Robin. I believe this episode, Showdown is the second.
She also skipped its never too late
Which is one of the best episodes
I wonder why? Did she really forget or want to skip?
It’s likely on her Patreon
when u gonna watch revenge of the sith
She already has; it’s up in full on her Patreon for supporters there, and is being edited for UA-cam at the moment
Jonah Hex! The greatest western comic hero of all time!
Though I admit my personal favorite is Pow-Wow Smith
