|
You're vigilantes. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely. |
| Batman |
|
Which is? |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
A legend, Mr. Wayne. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share. |
| Batman |
|
That's why it's so important. It separates us from them. |
| Batman |
|
You've got a serious priority problem, Ra's. What can be in that tomb that's more valuable than the love of your daughter? |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Power, detective. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
As Napoleon told me, "A strong will can fuel a frail physique." |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
So even in defeat, the detective manages to achieve some small measure of victory. As you said, detective: this is not over. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
The material of the Pit is an unknown chemical stew that bubbles to the Earth's surface only in certain key places. Even now, my people are placing bombs, such as that one, over the various Lazarus Pits around the world. These bombs are electronically linked to a private satellite already in Earth orbit. |
| Batman |
|
Orpheus. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Ra's al Ghul: Precisely. And at the moment when sun and moon are in proper alignment to cause the greatest upheaval in Earth's geomagnetic field, I shall send a signal to that satellite, beginning a countdown. Five minutes thereafter, one bomb will be lowered deep into the heart of each Pit. The satellite will in turn relay a microwave signal that will detonate all the bombs simultaneously. The multiple explosions will result in a global chain reaction. All the Lazarus Pits throughout the world will overflow. The globe will be saturated with their chemical solution, and when the resultant cataclysm has abated, there will come a blessed peace, and this poor, defiled planet shall find itself restored to its former pristine glory. |
| Batman |
|
But that will cost countless lives! |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Actually, Detective, we have counted: Two billion, fifty-six million, nine hundred and eighty-six thousand! A most impressive plan, would you not agree? |
| Batman |
|
Yes... I can see it clearly now for the first time. You are completely out of your mind. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
To conquer fear, you must become fear. You must bask in the fear of other men. And men fear most what they cannot see. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Are you ready to begin? |
| Batman |
|
I-I can barely stand... |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Death does not wait for you to be ready! Death is not considerate, or fair! And make no mistake: here, you face Death. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives," Wayne. Crime, despair . . . this is not how man was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats, burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Over the ages, our weapons have grown more sophisticated. With Gotham, we tried a new one: Economics. But we underestimated certain parts of Gotham's citizens . . . such as your parents. Gunned down by one of the very people they were trying to help. Create enough hunger and everyone becomes a criminal. Their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself . . . and Gotham has limped on ever since. We are back to finish the job. And this time no misguided idealists will get in the way. Like your father, you lack the courage to do all that is necessary. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Justice is balance. You burned my house and left me for dead. Consider us even. |
| Batman |
|
It ends here. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
For you and the police, maybe. My fight, however, lies with the rest of Gotham. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a city to destroy. |
| Batman |
|
I can't beat two of your pawns? |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
As you wish. [Two more Ninja drop from above] |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Time to spread the word... and the word is... Panic. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Have you finally learned to do what is necessary? |
| Batman |
|
I won't kill you...but I don't have to save you. |
