More GOOD Batman news.

[blakjeezis]

God, it certainly seems like Christopher Nolan is doing everything right in terms of resurrecting the franchise. It now appears that the Scarecrow will be making an appearance in the film as well as Ra's al Ghul. They won't be teamed up, rather the Scarecrow will be used to re-establish the darker tone that Schumacher raped and also to set up the story of Batman and al Ghul's meeting. I'm so glad they've put this film in the hands of someone who, by all appearances, is doing it right.

I'm loving everything I hear about this movie. But why London? That's my only quandary.

In the comics I don't think Ra's al Ghul was ever in Gotham City. Batman confronts him in other parts of the world (I don't remeber if London was one of them)

As Bruce Wayne trained and prepared for his life as Batman he travelled the world, learning from different people.

Sorry, but Ra's al Ghul actually did show up in Gotham City. He was the only villan (I do not think he was a villan as Joker and Penguin was though) that deduced Batman was Bruce Wayne. al Ghul actually was able to sneak his way into the Batcave and confront Batman and expose hs identity, but never did to the public.
He respected Batman but he also had to hate him as an enemy. He was a GREAT arch-rival for Batman.

Ra's is my fave Batman villain, so I know those stories well. In the first Ra's story, Robin is kidnapped. Ra's breaks into the batcave with Ubu to talk to the Bat because his daughter Talia was kidnapped also. So Ra's, obviously, has been in Gotham, but then they go to Asia for the rest of the story.

Most Ra's stories occur around the world, usually globe spanning stories that go from africa to antarctica.

I didn't read all the batman comics (over 60 years worth!), but I kept seeing Batman travel around the world when Ra's al Ghul was involved.

He is the coolest character aside from Batman himself. It's been years since I've read my comics and I have a graphic novel with Ra's in it. Should pull it out.

History:
Ra's Al Ghul is the single most mysterious and cunning of Batman's foes. He does not associate with the criminally insane group of the rogues gallery. Ra's Al Ghul is a criminal like no other. No one knows exactly when he was born, but he claims to have been alive for over 600 years. His name translated means "The Demon's Head."

Ra's heads a worldwide criminal organization, whose mission is to purify a polluted planet, and restore nature to the dominion abridged by the human race, ultimately creating a better world where he would rule. He will use whatever means and force necessary to achieve his twisted vision of a new utopian society. Ra's is always accompanied by his faithful bodyguard, Ubu. His madness originates in the unique power source which maintains his body's appearance, The Lazarus Pit. It is a substance of unknown elements which replenishes the body, like a fountain of youth. The side affects however are spells of sheer madness. Being addicted to this substance for so long has dried any bit of morals and values for Ra's Al Ghul. He views himself as above any preset laws which are governed by mankind. He has many followers, and heads a cult like organization filled with men who will do his bidding. He is extremely dangerous and cunning.

His interest in Batman arose when he felt the Lazarus Pits affect was dwindling. Ra's feels he needs a male to be his successor. Since his only offspring is his daughter Talia, he has to choose a male to marry her that is worthy of becoming ruler of his vast empire. Ra's proves his resourcefulness to Batman by meeting the "Detective" as he calls him, in his own Batcave confirming that he knows his secret. Upon implementing many tests to prove whether Batman was worthy of becoming his successor, Ra's knew immediately he had found the one. But Batman refused numerous times, and thus Ra's believes that since he will not be with him, they must be against each other, as enemies. He is highly sophisticated and can be quite hypnotic. Ra's has returned many times after Batman thinks has foe had perished.

The animated Ra's eps are almost all from the comics. I was talking about the comic. You can pick up a copy of Batman: Tales of the Demon to read all the early Ra's (and Talia) stories.


And yes, it's that David Warner.
