The Bat deserved to meet his doom at my hands -- at the hands of someone who hated yet respected him! Mortal enemies deserve at least that. If I was fated to meet my own doom at the Detective's hands I would have been satisfied -- it would have been a good death. It would have been right. It would have been proper. But instead this charade is perpetrated. Gotham and the world should be celebrating the life and death of a man who has pulled them away from the brink of extinction countless times instead of believing their Dark Knight still patrols the city's streets. A hero of Batman's caliber should not have perished in the shadows. A hero like Batman should have been killed in the bright light of day for all the world to see. That would have been my final gift to Bruce, a revelation and celebration as I, and I alone, pulled the mask from his lifeless face in victory! Now, as the centuries blow past me like a gentle breeze, I will always mourn the fact that I will not be remembered for killing the Batman, who, after all, would have been the only man I ever killed worth remembering. - Ra's al GhulRA'S AL GHULPL: 12 (245 pts) -

Abilities 112 + Skills 50 (100 ranks) + Advantages 64 + Powers 0 + Defenses 19 = 245 / 245Comments: I was almost OK with using the DCA Ra’s for my setting, but I couldn’t help myself, I thought he was just a tad overpowered, too, plus, I like to refine a couple of things that were not done in the core build. My Ra’s has his cash noted, a limit on his equipment but he’s still a scary swordsman and a manipulator of the highest order that can be a major pain for the Bat Family or even a group like the Justice League, given the right usage of resources.
