Kevin Altieri has stated that there was an extra one-minute sequence cut from this episode due to run time. Altieri also mentioned that in the original script, there was dialogue cut in the scene where Jonah Hex gets imprisoned, and the guard would say, "sweet dreams, Hex" with Hex replying "don't mind if I'll be dreaming about your mother, do ya?"
1 thing you forgotten he woman Jonah was talking to was played by Elizabeth Montgomery aka Sam from Bewitched and this was her last role before her passing soon after!
In case no one has seen it, the Jonah Hex short animated feature starring Jonah is excellent. Based on a story from Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Grey's excellent Jonah Hex comic series. Thomas Jane provides the voice for Hex. Highly recommended.
According to Kevin Altieri, this episode came about as a result of a conversation with Paul Dini. Other names brought up in that conversation included: Sgt. Rock, Enemy Ace, Dial H for Hero, Hawkman, and The Demon.
Pretty ballsy of the writers to make an episode dedicated to a character who, at the time, the general audience had no clue who that was. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it felt like the first forray from BTAS to a wider DCAU. Even if it was just a story set in the past.
I’m so glad you looked up Patrick Leahy, it’s such a cool part of Batman media that this fan and senator became a part of its cinematic universes. Thanks for taking the time to research him. I had a paragraph ready to go for the comments section.
Love the whole story being from Jonah Hex perspective and its cool to see that Batman and Ra's do have respect for each other on some level in addition to Talia and Bruce loving each other
Since you guys are wrapping up season 2 soon I suggest you watch season 1 of Superman The Animated Series before starting season 3 of Batman. Because season 3 of Batman didn't air until after the first season of Superman and the shows crossover and share continuity.
I always forget there’s a Jonah hex episode in this show. Also hate to nitpick but the editor used the wrong cockpit for the edit on Eric’s laugh. They were quoting the episode 1 scene so it should have been The n1 cockpit.
When writing this episode, Joe R. Lansdale told Bruce Timm that he wanted to re-invent Jonah Hex. "I want to make him an East-Texan. I want to make him a Confederate. I didn't want to make him necessarily somebody that saw all the wrongs of confederacy, although I do personally. I wanted him somewhere caught as a man of his time, and yet a man evolving out of that time. And then I wanted to bring in the supernatural element, and I wanted him to be not some guy that came from a family where the people had money. I wanted him to be the kind of dirt poor people I knew as I grew up, and I felt I could give that a more realistic view. And I also wanted to show that his evolving views on things were changing that had turned into a form of cynicism in some cases, satire in others, and just a raw dark sense of humor."
I mean we see him later in a future series from the same universe. So if the Blindwave crew keep watching the continuity all the way to the end we'll see him again :)
Malcolm McDowell and David Warner were both in a film called Time After Time (1979). McDowell played H G Wells, who having built an actual working time machine must chase Jack the Ripper (David Warner) through time to 1979 San Francisco.
I like to think that the uniforms of the airship crew was done as a homage to what we see in the 1961 Vincent Price movie _'Master of the World.'_ That film being based on the Jules Verne novels _'Robur the Conqueror'_ and its sequel: _'Master of the World.'_
Hex: Ah'm gettin' too old fer this! Ra's Al Ghul (Love the monocle and top hat): You may voice such discomforts once you have arrived at your SECOND century of life, mercenary. One of my favorites, unique in that it hardly features Batman at all. Doubtless an attempt to be the pilot for a Jonah Hex show that never took off.
Seeing Jonah depicted as this old feels weird. Hex is traditionally known to have died in 1904, then his corpse was stuffed and used as a sideshow attraction.
i love the Da Vinci inspired Flying machine and Pyramid parachutes, wonder if Ra's Al Ghul was an associated or just a fan This has always been one of my favourite Batman episodes, they definitely tamed Jonah down, but you can see him as a past Batman kind of figure. Definitely influenced by Eastwood's no name characters, Dollar Trilogy, Outlaw Josey Wales, don't know if the character would be dead or not, he might still be in space
One of the best episodes of the series and it's hardly about Batman & Robin. For a lot of us, this was an introduction to who Hex was and how bada** he was. Jonah Hex has been around since the 1970s and his comics in the 1980s were definitely putting him on as fan-favorite anti hero. The voice of Jonah Hex was the late Bill McKinney (Deliverance, The outlaw Josey Wales, First Blood). I thought that the story was great for the early years of the DCAU. The twist at the end with Ra's having a son he left behind was very sad.

Definitely a Hex line 😂😂
Amazing how a 22 minute episode of animation is better & more respectful to Jonah Hex's character than a Hollywood feature film!
New strategy in life: Become a US Senator in order to cameo in Batman
If you're really lucky you might get to have the next Joker threaten you with a knife.

This was the first on-screen appearance of the DC Comics western character Jonah Hex.

thats pretty awesome that Senator got some roles in various Batman things, must have been great for him being a Batman fan

Testing a building block for what would eventually turn into the JLA series and then the JLUA series.
Zatanna is the only other BTAS episode I can name that brings in a non-Batman DC character.
@@DCComicsGamer_"a non-Batman DC character."_
Hmm... does Count Vertigo count?
Not the first (Zatanna) but one more new face to start building it up.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps Good point, I believe he counts! Er, pun not intended.

The Jonah Hex short is really good also.
BTAS missed a good line. When Jonah jumps out from under the straw, he could have yelled "Hey" before punching out the guard.
I always love the way Jonah says "Arkady Duvall".
Haha, Eric immediately apologizing about saying Dodonna's first name is great.
This is one of my favorite episodes , You will get to see jonah hexs, The story is very good

This discussion was far better than the reaction AND episode!
Jonah Hex makes his appearance in this episode.
Makes me wish they had a spinoff series taking place in the same universe.
I mean we see him later in a future series from the same universe. So if the Blindwave crew keep watching the continuity all the way to the end we'll see him again :)

I love how this is just the Wild Wild West movie except better.
Felt almost like a pilot for a Jonah Hex spinoff.
3:57 A Flying Fortress!!!!!
nice to see jonah hex
i love the Da Vinci inspired Flying machine and Pyramid parachutes, wonder if Ra's Al Ghul was an associated or just a fan

3:17 Sky Monster???????
React to the Jonah Hex movie. It's not great but it has its good moments.
Who was worse: Hitler or Genghis Khan?
Watch Animal movie 🔥🔥 must watch
