The animation series episode that turned the show to West

/Film readers are likely to know that the aesthetic “Batman: The Animated Series” made a part of this success. The appearance of “Dark Deco”, as it was known, was an extension of the desire to tell stories more mature and treat children as if they were smart enough to understand them. Black card wallpapers and designs inspired by Noir talked about this desire to tell more adult stories, with the formulation of “BTAS” in the city of Gotham, overwhelming and repressive, and she really felt unique in the relatively strange designs of her Fox Kids series such as “TAZ-Dania” and “Eek! The Cat”.

With other visual effects ranging from Alfred Hitchcock films to Batman films from Tim Burton, you may not expect BTAS to become complete during its 1992-1995 period. But this is exactly what I did in the second season episode, while it may not be remembered as one of Batman: The Animated series “It is still unforgettable in the chain if it is only unique in other installments – visually and so on.

It is not that “BTAS” did not bear the risks. The exhibition has proven ready to expand in Lore Batman, where he presented a full background to Mr. Freezing and the invention of the famous character now Harley Quinn, who was not the only villain Batman created by the series. But the show was not necessarily known to switch its important tone, which makes the “confrontation”, while placing it in the ancient West, is very interesting.

It was broadcast in the eighty -second episode of “Batman: The Animated Series” and “Showdown” for the first time after the show entered “The Adventures of Batman & Robin”. For its second season, Fox imposed the appearance of Robin in each episode, which leads to One of the episodes that are rejected would characterize the beloved of the beloved capital. This request in the studio was characterized by changing the title of the offer that accompanied the emergence of the second season in 1994. By September 12, 1995, when a “show” was broadcast, the children used to a large extent on Batman coming out next to the youngest owner – which is what explodes in it. Mostly in the flashback, where we treat the full western.

“Showdown”, author of Texas Joe R. Lansel, who, regardless of being a shareholder in “BTAS”, wrote novels and many comic books that received great approval and that showcase the character of the Capital fisherman Jonah Hex. This was the anti-hero, who first appeared in “All-Star Western” #10 in 1972, when Lansdale brought to “BTAS” in “Showdown”. Flashback is characterized by the ring to 1883, which was expressed by Bill McKini, who is visiting Devils Hall to track down one of the laws called Arkadi Duffal. His research is led to a nearby mountain where Ra’s Ghul builds a giant balloon designed to stop building a railway nearby and eventually assisting control of the United States government. Duvall is part of the crew helps oversee the construction. Hex was discovered while spying on the operation and being arrested by RA and his gang, but he escaped in the end, and thwarted the villain’s attempt to control the United States

The episode ends today, as Batman and Robin learned that Duval was in fact Ibn Ra, who ended up in the care house from the beginning of the episode. It seems that Junior has been given a longer life after exposure to the same Lazarus hole from it. for him Extension age. As such, Batman Rogue was at the care house to restore his son, who seemed enough for the dark knight to allow his old opponent.

Joe Lansel spoke about how he wanted to shoot Jonah Hex in an episode of Batman: Moving podcast, “ Explain how the east-Texas version of the anti-anti-opponent champion depicted and “somewhat caught as a man of his time, yet a man develops from that time.” The writer continued:

“I wanted to bring the super element, and I wanted to be a person who did not come from a family where people had money. I wanted to be a kind of poor people I knew during my origin, and I felt that I could give this a more realistic view.

Lansdale and its sensitivities are a large part of the reason for “BTAS” such a big shift with “confrontation”, but there were other effects on play as well. The same story came from the director “BTAS” Kevin Atry, co -founder Bruce Tim, and writer Paul Dini, and the entire episode was influenced by George McDonald Fraser’s novels and her short stories “Flashman’s papers”, where the creators took some of the main signals from the protagonist Harry Flashman on the character of Arkadi. The most interesting is the fact that Duvall has been expressed by “A Clockwork Orange” Malcolm McDowell starWho later crossed the villain Metalo in “Superman: The Animated Series”. Jonah Hex will also do his second work at DC Confulare in the 2005 episode of “Justice League Unlimited”.

The “confrontation” is still one of the most unique episodes of “BTAS”, and although it is not responsible for any major additions to Batman Lore, it is worth noting that they prove that writers and artists can formulate a convincing story that kept the tone of the show while completely outperforming the attractiveness of ART DECO, which was more vital to the series of the series.
