DC Comics' Jonah Hex -- already featured in a live-action movie starring Josh Brolin next year -- will be the subject of an animated project as well, The Continuum has learned.
Jonah Hex will be featured in a short from Warner Bros. Animation, written by Joe R. Lansdale.
The short will likely be attached to one of the direct-to-DVD animated films based on DC Comics characters. According to sources, multiple shorts are being produced for inclusion with the movies. It's likely the shorts will then be put together for a compilation DVD, which might also include new material.
Warner Bros. has not confirmed this information.
Lansdale, right, has a long association with the Jonah Hex character. He teamed with artist Tim Truman for three comics mini-series in the 1990s. He's also handled the character in animation before, writing the "Showdown" episode of Batman: The Animated Series that featured Jonah Hex and Ra's al Ghul.
Voiced by Phil Morris, Jonah Hex has appeared in the current Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series on Cartoon Network. The new animated version will not guest-star any DC super-heroes and will be more in line with the PG-13 content of the DC animated films.
