Batman Arkham: 10 Boss Fights That Blew Us Away
8. Ra's Al Ghul - Arkham City
Ra's al Ghul is one of the most ruthless and skilled fighters Batman has ever faced, and he has a singular purpose: Test Batman.
He wants Batman to replace him one day, but becoming a monster like Ra's is Batman's worst fear. The battle between the two is a battle for the future of Gotham, for the al Ghul legacy, and for Bruce Wayne's future.
The psychedelic hallucinogens that the League has poisoned Batman with cause him to see visions of a truly destroyed Gotham. Sand dunes and quicksand surround him to create a surreal experience for the player.
Ra's summons countless ninja soldiers made out of sand that can quickly swarm Batman. Due to these not being real people, however, Batman is able to use tactics that would normally break his core rule.
He's able to take a sword and begin fighting like we've never seen him fight before, and the showdown between the two is one of Arkham City's finest moments.
