The startling climax of "The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul"! A secret surrounding Ra's' lineage is revealed! Everything comes to a head at Nanda Parbat as Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Damian face off against the eternal might of Ra's al Ghul!
High up in the Himalasyas at Nanda Parbat, Ra's has just been reborn from the White Ghost who must have been a blood relative of Ra's. Talia takes Damian out of the equasion even though he really wants to contribute to the Bat family in this seemingly impossible odds fight. Ra's with Merlyn and Razorburn from the Seven Men of Death and the League of Assasins vs. Batman, Nightwing, Robin and Alfred. After an intence start, Rama Kushna's monks arrive to call everyone defilers of Nanda Parbat and the Godess Rama Kushna. The monks say Ra's has perverted the ballance between life and death so Nanda Parbat shal be closed off to him. Evetyone should leave Nanda Parbat now or die. The Bat family takes no issue with the Godesse's wishes although Ra's wants to continue the fight and his mercenaries just want to get paid. Bats tells Ra's that the conclusion of this fight is out of there hands and suggests Ra's leave as he plans to. On his way out, Batman takes a dig at Ra's by saying a prayer of supplication would not hurt. A prayer of supplication is a form of prayer in whicha believer approaches God with a deep sence of humility and dependance. Think Indiana Joes being the penatant man and kneeling before God as to not get his head chopped off.
