"Are we seriously counting on Batman to make someone sane?"

I mean, you have a point.

You know, I'd love to know how people in comics and sci-fi just wait out under the sand to ambush people. Seems like it would be really hard to breathe.

Maybe they have snorkels or something.

Ra's al Ghul: I am the Demon here to protect the world.

Looks like someone flunked basic theology...

Ra's al Ghul: Wrap yourself in purpose, child. Wear it like a blanket.

BBC's Sherlock: I'm in shock. I'm wearing a blanket.

(Okay, in all seriousness, Ra's, that's super creepy. I love blankets, but not any offered by some old dude who just kidnapped me. Yeesh.)

I see Lex Luthor has had a makeover. I must say it doesn't suit him, not that he was ever a fashion icon to begin with.

I've obviously missed a ton of lore somewhere. Time for ye olde internet if this keeps up. A few moments lack significance as a result, but at least the story isn't too hard to follow so far.

Fact: If Ra's al Ghul invites you to tea, bring your own. Better yet, go into hiding.

"I'm the symbol of fear. I'm the nightmare that people can trust."

Holy quotationary, Batman!

Oh, boy, here we go with a time travel plot, if this guy is telling the truth. Let's see how quickly this comes off the rails. Sci-fi novels are good at this trope. Comic books seldom are.
