First Jonah Hex Images (Under The Red Hood)

[Mike]

The second DC Showcase animated short, "Jonah Hex," will appear as a bonus feature on the Special Edition Blu-Ray and 2-Disc Special Edition DVD release of "Batman: Under the Red Hood."

Scripted by renowned author Joe Lansdale and starring the voices of Thomas Jane (Hung), Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Michelle Trachtenberg (Mercy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Michael Rooker (Days of Thunder), the DC Showcase short is based on the award winning comic series. The short is rated PG-13.

In the DC Showcase story, the tough-as-nails bounty hunter Jonah Hex always gets his man - until someone else gets to him first - in this case a murderous madam who wants to steal more than just her bounty from Jonah Hex.

Here is a look at the first images to be distributed from the short, along with some bonus previously released images from "Batman: Under the Red Hood," on-sale July 27.

Hey everybody (especially droidofages) Jimmy Palmiotti has stated on his blog that this animated short is based on an issue he wrote.

'We really have nothing to do with this short being added to a dvd called BATMAN: under the hood. What we do know is it is based on an issue of Jonah Hex we did. Hey, that in itself is pretty cool...so here are some clips. Nice job animators.'
