Despite being the decoy, Ken Watanabe was credited as portraying Ra's al Ghul in the credits of Batman Begins. Liam Neeson, who portrayed the real Ra's al Ghul, was credited by his alias Ducard. In addition to Ken Watanabe, Jay Buozzi was credited as "Asian Man/Ra's al Ghul" in the film's credits.
Liam Neeson was not credited as Ra's al Ghul in the ending credits of Batman Begins. Instead, he was referred to by his alias Ducard and the part of Ra's al Ghul was attributed to Ken Watanabe, who portrayed Ra's decoy. Neeson was credited as Ra's al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises.
Months later, Ducard unexpectedly reappears, and reveals that he is actually the real Ra's al Ghul: "Henri Ducard" was merely an alias, and the Ra's al Ghul Bruce defeated at the beginning was actually a decoy, which Bruce himself deciphers when another man attempts to pass as Ra's before Ducard reveals the truth.
Ubu is the loyal manservant of eco-terrorist Ra's al Ghul. When Ra's decided to retire as leader of the League of Assassins, he sought to find a worthy successor in Batman. Ra's and Ubu traveled to the United States and infiltrated the Batcave.
Talia is most commonly known as being the daughter of the supervillain Ra's al Ghul as well as the on-and-off lover of the superhero Batman and the mother of their son Damian Wayne (the fifth Robin) who was born during a brief marriage.
Now, some have interpreted Batman leaving Ra's on the train as a crucial point in the character's development as it represents him realizing he can't be a perfect hero and stepping away from his father's shadow (Ra's had previously told him that he lacked courage, like his father).
Batman: Three Jokers #1 (August 2020). In Batman's origin story, Joe Chill is the mugger who murders young Bruce Wayne's parents, Dr. Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne. The murder traumatizes Bruce, inspiring his vow to avenge their deaths by fighting crime in Gotham City as the vigilante Batman.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Nolan confirmed that the mask dispenses an anesthetic that keeps Bane's pain controlled, and the flashback sequence explains the need for this, as the attack in the Pit left him with serious injuries.
He returns to Gotham and uses his training to become the vigilante Batman and rid Gotham of its rapid crime. He later learns that his mentor, Henri Ducard, is Ra's al Ghul, and the one in their HQ was a decoy.
Bruce famously trains with the League of Assassins (or Shadows, as they're called there) in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, but that's never been part of his education in the comics.
Katie Holmes had nothing against Rachel Dawes or Nolan's Batman trilogy; she simply had the desire to explore other roles at the time. In fact, instead of returning as Rachel Dawes for The Dark Knight, she appeared as Jackie Truman in Mad Money.
Liam Neeson as Henri Ducard / Ra's al Ghul: The leader of the League of Shadows, an ancient society that uses chaos to punish the corrupt and decadent, who goes undercover as an associate of the League and trains Bruce in martial arts, later revealing himself in the film's climax.
Ra's al Ghul's ethnic origins may be described East Asian in accordance to Birth of the Demon and The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, and Byzantine/Eastern Roman as addressed by Talia al Ghul in Batman Annual #26. Ra's al Ghul's Eastern Roman background is further implied in Batman and Robin (vol. 2) #23.3.
What Makes Him Pure Evil? Unlike nearly all the other incarnations of Ra's al Ghul, this version is devoid of any redeeming qualities. He is motivated by a lust for power and to create a new world in his image out of his ego rather than out of a genuine desire to save the world and improve it.
Geo-Force reveals that he killed Ra's al Ghul because of his responsibility for Markovia's destruction after Leviathan's defeat, which left Geo-force despondent and vengeful as a result. He also framed Deathstroke to take the opportunity to exact revenge on Ra's al Ghul's family.
Gotham City fascinates Bane because, like Peña Duro, fear rules Gotham—but it is the fear of Batman. Bane is convinced that Batman is a personification of the demonic bat which had haunted his dreams since childhood. Therefore, Bane believes fate placed Batman on a collision course with him.
He has a white father, and a Latina mother. But as someone who never knew his father until he was an adult, who was born and spent his formative years in Pena Duro, the prison colony of Santa Prisca, and now as a man who still considers Santa Prisca his home, Bane is Latino by nationality as well.
Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight film trilogy prominently leaned into the pain associated with being Batman, with 2012's The Dark Knight Rises showing Bruce similarly relying on a cane after the injuries he suffered at the end of The Dark Knight.
Later, Arthur goes to Arkham State Hospital and steals his mother's records, and finds out that he was in fact adopted, and that Thomas Wayne is not his father and that Penny is not his true mother.
That includes the Joker, whose endless cycle of committing crimes, killing innocent people, being captured, and breaking out of Arkham Asylum has caused severe problems in Batman's life and Gotham City.
Although Batman still sticks with this noble policy, there have been times where he's broken his own cardinal rule. Some examples of Batman killing a foe are unequivocally (and unapologetically) blatant, while others are a bit more complicated. Regardless, Batman has restored to lethality on more than one occasion.
Batman's use of lethal tactics finally stopped after Batman #15. This issue was notably one of the largest sprees in his history, causing a vehicle crash and later destroyed an entire warship full of soldiers. The cover also depicted Batman using a machine gun on the cover of the issue.
But despite the Joker's many atrocities, Batman has never taken the life of his arch-nemesis. This raises the question: why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker and be done with it? The answer lies in Batman's strict moral code, which he developed after witnessing the murder of his parents as a child.
