>be immortal leader of a cult of assassins>goal is to... cull the Earth and return it to animals>somehow father no sons and instead just become fixated on some random guy banging your dautherI'm beginning to think that beyond a cool name, Ra's Al Ghul actually sucks as a character. He'd have been far better if his fixation on Batman was because he deemed him a worthy successor, without any of the weird family nonsense. It's ludicrous that an immortal Arab has no male heirs and just needs this guy to cum into the pussy of the daughter he ended up having with a damn WoodStock hippie. What even is this storyline at this point? If it were up to me I'd make it so that the Lazarus Pits can only be used for so long, and this Ra's is just the latest in a long line, so he needs someone to take his place. That someone being Batman. And that's that.
Well you see he's a Batman villain. So he needs to care about Batman. Glad I could clear that up for you.
>>152584766The Lazarus pit can't be good for your sperm count
>>152584766Insemimating your daughter isn’t feminist so, yeah, Chip Zdarsky changed it. The new canon is that Bruce met Ras when he was much younger, before even being Batman, and became his “Demon’s Fist”, Ra’s right hand man who was to help him usher in a new world. The romance with Talia was completely incidental.

>>152584766Ra's is a hypocrite. He doesn't care about 'preserving the environment.' An army of ninjas and assassins who go around killing people and destabilizing nations doesn't help nature heal.The only thing he cares about is preserving his immortality and becoming insanely wealthy off of the death and destruction caused by his assassins.
>>152584766>somehow father no sonsHe had a son named White Ghost. He even took his body when his original one was dying.
>>152584766I think that's what they did in the Arkham game, and what they were going for in the Nolan movies. So congrats, you're in agreement with the vast, vast majority of casuals where the character is concerned.
>>152584766Part of R’as obsession is that he loved his first wife so much and he never saw a fitting replacement for her.
Should Talia and Ra's be redeemed and treated better to combat orientalist stereotypes and anti arab racism?
>>152586641They are already cooler and more likeable than real Arabs.
>>152584925>Noland
>>152584766Why did he need some nature angle anyway? Being an assassin group leader is enough.Some rich guy in Gotham wants a CEO of another company dead, they call Ras to send a ninja or two over. Batman gets involved and stops it. That works. Superheroes keep interfering with his business, he calls hits on various superheroes. Seems like that works better than kill humans to make trees grow shit.
>>152587971its fine
>>152588176Nature works in universe as propaganda and getting people to think maybe he isn't so bad. Just saying you kill people so you can live forever and be the 1% isn't much of a rallying cry.
>>152588176it really started appearing in the BTAS episodes
>>152589116No, retard.
>>152591685yeah its okay
