Synopsis
While attempting to rescue one of his immortal followers from a hospital, Ra's Al Ghul tells Batman and Robin a tale from his mysterious past. Along with Batman and Robin, we learn of Ra's attempts in the 1800s to destroy the fledgling railroad and seize control of the United States government. The one person standing in his way is renegade bounty hunter Jonah Hex. How Ra's battle with Hex is tied to his present-day battle with Batman is revealed in a surprise ending.

Production notes
This was the last screen role for Elizabeth Montgomery, star of TV's "Bewitched." She had died on May 18, 1995 at 62, making this guest role posthumous.
Essentially the second season of Batman: The Animated Series, but with a more prominent role for Robin.

Showdown
I hated this episode, apart from a cool fight sequence at the start Batman et al are hardly in it. The show is called BATMAN not Jonah Hex !!! This is the only episode I never bothered to keep on video
