Ra's Al Ghul is a famous name in the world of DC due to his connections with the famous Batman. However, his involvement in the DC universe is far greater than just affecting one superhero. Green Arrow is another troubled by the man. His name is Arabic for 'head of the demon', which on its own doesn't sound comforting to the DC Universe. He's the head of the League of Shadows and in the recent Dark Knight trilogy his back-story was well documented and presented to the world. Arrow has already referred to the character this season when Sara Lance returned to Starling City, as Al Ghul's daughter turned up and demanded she returned to the League of Shadows. That story has reached some what of an end but I'll be extremely surprised if there is no further repercussions later down the line. Black Canary is surely going to be hunted down by Ra's Al Ghul himself at some stage in the future. Rather than sending his followers to do his dirty work for him, Al Ghul must appear in the show himself. He's by far the most important and most likely addition to the cast in the near future. Ra's Al Ghul has already become an important part of season two but he hasn't been used to the best of his ability just yet. Arrow must capitalise on the super villain and use him in the future in a more direct manner, which viewers of the show would love to see.
