Jonah Hex
Revenge gets ugly.
Gunslinger Jonah Hex is appointed by President Ulysses Grant to track down terrorist Quentin Turnbull, a former Confederate officer determined on unleashing hell on earth. Jonah not only secures freedom by accepting this task, he also gets revenge on the man who slew his wife and child.
Why it matters in DC
Jonah Hex brings the DC collection into a Western setting driven by vengeance and a government assignment. His history with the man he is pursuing makes public duty and personal motive overlap, broadening the catalogue beyond its modern cities and cosmic conflicts.

Jonah Hex is title 9 of 24 in our Live-action Elseworlds viewing sequence. Jonah Hex occupies a separate Western corner of the catalogue rather than a stage in the modern Justice League timeline. Its own introduction establishes the central character and conflict. Other screen appearances of Jonah Hex need not share this film's history, so they should not automatically be added as earlier chapters.
