Lazarus pits ! !
what?
Ra's al Ghul (sometimes written Rb's al Gh{l) is a DC Comics supervillain, and an enemy of Batman. His name is Arabic for "The ghoul's head (the Demon's Head)" (see Algol). He was created by writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams and introduced in Batman #232's "Daughter of the Demon" (June 1971). He has been described as a "James Bond"-style villain, created as a response to the popularity of James Bond during the 70's, and to give Batman a more epic scope and enemy. Given the grand scale of his plans, he has also come into conflict with Superman and the general DC Comics superhero community.
Ra's al Ghul was several centuries old before he ever encountered Batman. Replenishing his aged, injured, or dead body with a bath in a Lazarus Pit , Ra's has survived through the centuries, all the while accumulating wealth, knowledge, and power. Ra's is a criminal and scientific genius, particularly in the field of alchemy. He also rivals Batman in hand-to-hand combat and sword fighting. Currently, along with Malhar Naik, also known as "Iceman", Ra's coleads the League of Assassins, a fanatic group willing to die at a word from Ra's and consisting of some of the most dangerous assassins in the world. He is constantly accompanied by a servant given the title Ubu, who is typically an especially dangerous fighter.
When a person uses a Lazarus Pit, the person emerges temporarily insane. Repeated use of the Lazarus Pit could have more subtle and dangerous effects, and no one has used as many Lazarus Pits as has Ra's. Use of the Lazarus Pits may well have driven Ra's completely insane.
Ra's's goal is a world in perfect environmental balance, a goal he will achieve at any cost. Since he believes that the best way to do so is to eliminate most of humanity, he may be regarded as an ecoterrorist bent upon global genocide. That he has the means to achieve his goal makes him extremely dangerous and brings him in into frequent conflict with Batman. Ra's usually tries to assault the world's human populace with a biological weapon, such as a genetically-engineered virus.
Ra's is among Batman's most formidable foes. Not only can he physically and mentally challenge "the Detective" (the name by which Ra's always refers to Batman), but he has also deduced Batman's secret identity.
I sure hope that helped explain the "Lazarus Pit" if you want more info on Ra's, click here!
