Ra's Al Ghul

Ra’s al Ghul, portrayed by Liam Neeson in Batman Begins, is the leader of the League of Shadows and one of Batman’s most formidable adversaries. He believes civilizations become corrupt when they grow too powerful and decadent, and therefore seeks to restore balance through destruction. Initially posing as Henri Ducard, he trains Bruce Wayne in martial arts and strategy before revealing his true identity. Unlike ordinary villains, Ra’s considers himself an agent of justice rather than evil. His disciplined philosophy, intelligence, manipulation, and willingness to sacrifice countless lives make him a dangerous ideological opponent to Batman.
