This was a really enjoyable collection of post crisis Ra's Al Ghul stories, and honestly makes me wish we had more writers diving into him. Since Morrison there really hasn't been many at all, and bringing him back could be fun! All the writers here do an excellent job of going for something different in each story, while I think the quality sort of dwindled by the end, each was a unique read.
The first one was very James Bond esc plot wise, and seeing Batman work with Ra's to take down the greater evil lead to an interesting dynamic of the two. This story also had Talia getting pregnant with Bruce's child that lead to........ absolutely nothing!!!! Really wish this thread was followed up on. As it was done a lot better than what Morrison eventually did with Talia in his run. The second story here was pretty much just Ra's wanting to destroy the world, but wants to have a child with this new woman that he restored with the pit. A lot more happens, but I didn't find this one as fun as the last one. Still fun though. Final story in this book was a look back on Ra's origins, and a final duel with him and the detective. Loved the art style in this one, and loved the Arabian Nights vibes of this story too.
This was super solid, and I'm happy that it's collected in this nice hardcover. I don't know if I'll reread this anytime soon, but cool read overall.

These stories are great and cement R'as al Ghoul as my favourite Batman Villain.
We have three stories delving into the dynamics of R'as al Ghoul, his daughter Talia and Batman. They can be read at any point and no prior knowledge is necessary. They were written in the late 80s and early 90s and stand out above a lot of the comics published at the time. They were published as Graphic Novels, a prestige format, which shows in both the artwork and the writing.
The triangle is great, because you have the dynamics of lovers, loyal family and dire enemies, which creates personal struggles and internal conflicts. Many of the R'as al Ghoul stories feature this of course, but this collection is especially satisfying, because it points at different angles of these relationships, which makes these stories unpredictable and tense.
I don't have a clear favourite among these three stories, although I suppose the Son of the Demon is the most important one, given that the ramifications have been picked up and continued in modern Batman Comics. But I think all three are worth a read.

Three great stories of the complex family dynamic between Batman, Ra's al Ghul and Talia.
Son of the Demon. Ra's and Batman have found some common ground. A common enemy and a common love. Could Batman/Bruce have found love, and could Ra's have his revenge and the son he wanted?
Bride of the Demon. Ra's is running out of time. He has one new pit. However he has someone else in mind to use it. Now he finally has his daughter back on side, and a plan to fix the world the only thorn in his side, that must be eliminated, the Batman.
Birth of the Demon. Batman knows how Ra's operates and if finally one step ahead of him. Could his new insight come from finally uncovering Ra's hidden past. However Ra's might not be the only one who is on borrowed time. One final battle between these two rivals.
Three great stories of love and hate. Different storytelling styles and artwork all in one great book. The book finishes with a variant cover gallery.

January 4, 2026Son of the Demon. Circumstances push Batman and the Al Ghul's into a shaky alliance. It's pretty quick paced with a steady stream of action and good character moments. The art is a good complement. 4.5/5.
Bride of the Demon. Ra's teams up with a climate scientist to try to "save" the world. It's a pretty good time since it's action packed and pretty quick. It's a bit less impactful as the wife Ra's takes seems to be entirely arbitrary. 3.5/5.
Birth of the Demon. A Ra's origin story, it was pretty good. It didn't provide a 'why' he's the character he is, disappointingly. The art was pretty good, though not my favorite style. 3/5.
Overall, it was a pretty good collection. Son of the Demon is well worth the read, while the other stories don't seem to have any continuity relevance.
