Me @ DC: I am taking Ra's al Ghul away from y'all none of you understand his crazy.
Me @ Ra's al Ghul: One Bad Day: Except for you, you can stay.
#REPEAT AFTER ME#HE IS NOT JUST A FUCKING CULT LEADER WITH A BUNCH OF FUCKING ASSASSINS AT HIS DISPOSAL#Like yeah that's part of who he is. But far more integral is the fact that he is like 700 years old and has outlived almost everything#He has witnessed firsthand the extinction of so many species. He is watching the lands he loved grow barren and die from exploitation.#And he KNOWS humanity itself is both responsible for this mass extinction and that it is approaching one of its own.#What so many people get wrong is that they assume Ra's is in this because of power or because he's just pure evil or something.#an integral part of his character is that he cares so deeply about life just like Bruce does. they just go about it differently#Ra's is an eco-terrorist and a utilitarian. he would take the life of one billionaire to potentially save thousands of lives down the line.#he does bad things in service of a greater good. that doesn't mean the bad things he does are justified but they have a reason behind them#HE IS NOT JUST A CULT LEADER! HE IS NOT JUST SOME OLD MAN WHO TOOK A FEW TOO MANY DIPS IN THE LAZARUS PIT!#he's a foil to Bruce and a damn good one. I hate when people take that away from him because it makes both of their characters so much bett
