Ra's al Ghul agrees and is delighted to know that he will have another child . </Li> <Li> Ra's al Ghul appears in the third season of Gotham, portrayed by Alexander Siddig . This version of the character, in addition to leading the League of Assassins, is also tied to the Court of Owls, although he has his acolytes dispose of the Court once he is finished with them . He is first mentioned in "Heroes Rise: Pretty Hate Machine" as "The Demon's Head", the mastermind of a plot to destroy Gotham City with a weaponized virus . In "Heroes Rise: Destiny Calling", Ra's al Ghul meets with Bruce Wayne, whom the Court's minions have brainwashed, and entreats the boy to become his heir . As a "final test", he orders Bruce to kill his butler Alfred Pennyworth . In "Heroes Rise: Heavydirtysoul", when Bruce stabs Alfred and snaps out of his conditioning, Ra's tells him to use the Lazarus Pit waters to save Alfred .

Ra's then disappears . </Li> <Ul> <Li> Liam Neeson portrayed Ra's al Ghul in The Dark Knight Trilogy . <Ul> <Li> Ra's al Ghul appears in the film Batman Begins . He is the head of the millennia - old League of Shadows organization based in Bhutan that is dedicated to keeping order and justice in a world which it views as decadent and corrupt . During the first half of the film, the character goes by the name Henri Ducard and poses as a servant of Ra's al Ghul's decoy (portrayed by Ken Watanabe). Ducard acts as Bruce Wayne's mentor, teaching the stealth and martial arts training that his protégé will one day use as the Dark Knight . During the film's climax, he reappears and reveals his true identity to Bruce as well as being a silent partner in a plan to disperse Jonathan Crane's fear - inducing toxin into Gotham's water supplies . Ra's then tells Bruce that the League of Shadows had tried to destroy Gotham once before by creating an economic depression that indirectly resulted in the murders of Bruce's parents . Ra's sees much of himself in Bruce, relating the story of how he came to the League of Shadows following his wife's death . In their final confrontation, Batman defeats Ra's and leaves him on a runaway train which falls off a bridge and crashes, killing him in the ensuing explosion . </Li> <Li> Ra's al Ghul makes a cameo appearance in The Dark Knight Rises . As a hallucination, he tells Bruce Wayne that there are many forms of immortality and that he has a progeny as his heir that is carrying on the League of Shadows' mission to destroy Gotham and says that Bruce no longer has the resolve to be Batman . Josh Pence plays a younger version of the character in flashbacks set 30 years before the film's events . In an ancient part of the world, he was a mercenary who worked for a local warlord . He fell in love with the warlord's daughter and married her in secret . When the warlord found out, al Ghul was condemned to a prison known as "The Pit" but the warlord exiled him instead . Ra's knew it was the daughter that secured his release but didn't know the true price of his freedom was that she took his place in "The Pit" while pregnant with his child . He then joined the League of Shadows as Ra's al Ghul and remained unaware of her imprisonment . After his wife was killed in an attack by the other prisoners, his daughter (Talia) was rescued by Bane and later escaped from the Pit to locate him . Ra's turned the League on the prison, killing several inmates and freeing Bane . But even after Bane saved Talia's life, Ra's saw him only as a reminder of the Pit where his wife died and so excommunicated Bane from the League causing Talia to resent him . During the film's main timeline, Talia and Bane had assumed leadership of the League of Shadows after Ra's' death, traveled to Gotham to secretly finish his work and avenge his death, for which they blame Batman . Recited in the Pit, the prevalent chant deshi basara (Arabic: دشي بسرعة) is of the Moroccan language, indicative of Ra's al Ghul's Arab background . </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <Li> Liam Neeson portrayed Ra's al Ghul in The Dark Knight Trilogy . <Ul> <Li> Ra's al Ghul appears in the film Batman Begins .
