6. What Happened to Ras Al Ghul?
Any fan of the Batman comics will know that the Head of the Demon doesnt really go down all that easy. In fact each time he dies or gets close to death he rejuvenates himself with a Lazarus Pit: a natural basin full of glowy goo that basically brings people back from the dead. But as Stephen Kings Pet Semetary points out, sometimes dead is better. Each time the pit resurrects a person it takes away a piece of their personality. Hence why Ras Al Ghul is a homicidal maniac bent on mass murder and such. Again, we know that in Nolans hyper-realistic Batworld Ras Al Ghul probably isnt immortal but surely he cant have been dispatched with that much ease? He has a habit of supporting other villains in the pursuit of their goals, so would it be such a leap to imagine that Ras could be supporting Bane in TDKR? I dont know. Maybe. All I know for sure is that expecting a long standing Batfan to accept that Ras Al Ghul is dead and gone is a big ask.
