Recap / Justice League Action S 1 E 26 All Aboard The Space Train

Go To

A space train containing items from the Watchtower vault has been hijacked by Kanjar Ro, so Batman and Cyborg go into pursuit. They decide to hire Space Cabbie for assistance, and he ends up freeing a frozen Jonah Hex to help retake the train.


Tropes:

  • And Then What?: Hex decides to stay on the planet with the axe faced creature & some "grub from the train" but no communicator nor indication the planet has any other life...
  • Badass Normal: Batman describes Jonah Hex as "...one of the most dangerous men in the universe." Hex is a normal human whose only notable skill is his sharpshooting, but he's extremely good at it.
  • Fish out of Temporal Water: Jonah Hex was from the 19th century before getting frozen, and he gets thawed out in present-day space. Despite being out of his time and element, he adjusts pretty quickly and decides to settle on a desert planet.
  • Hit Flash: Batman's fist comes at the camera as he punches Kanjar Ro's henchcreatures.
  • Human Popsicle: Jonah Hex has been frozen for over a hundred years, but he's still alive. After being thawed, he's in good enough condition to help Space Cabbie take the train back.
  • I Choose to Stay: Jonah Hex decides to not return to Earth or his own time, instead opting to stay on a desert planet.
  • Informed Attribute: Space Cabbie looks human but refers to "you Earth folks" when describing tech to Hex.
  • Only in It for the Money: Space Cabbie decides to help out the Justice League because they promise him quadruple his regular fare, plus a 20% tip on top.
  • Visible Invisibility: A faint outline and some distortion give Kanjar Ro away while his cloaking device is active.
