DC Showcase: Jonah Hex is being released as a bonus feature on the 2-disc DVD and Blu-ray editions of the direct-to-video animated movie, Batman: Under the Red Hood. The film is scheduled for release on July 27, 2010 on DVD, Blu-ray disc, On Demand and for Download.
It's intended as a "Showcase", basically a side-film to the feature (Batman: Under the Red Hood). A feature length Jonah Hex film (animated) has been announced and will be in production soon. There is also a live action film based on the same character starring Josh Brollin. The live action film was considered a disaster in comparison though, as it wasn't true to the comic character.
Considering it is not a feature length film, it is considered among the unrated bonus features. However, do to the graphic nature depicted in the film... it could be considered close to Rated PG-13 or even Rated-R. These are NOT official ratings given by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
