I think this was more so to f@*k with batman fans. Comic wise Al Ghul isn't some theatrical myth, he was literally over 600 years old and "dying" wasn't exactly his first rodeo.
"Don't be afraid Bruce" The same words Thomas Wayne said to Bruce before dying. Bruce was Thomas' son, but Batman was Ra'as son in many respects. Bruce often quotes Ra'as ("a criminal is not complicated", "theatricallity and deception are powerful agents", etc), which is a proof of Bruce's respect to Ra'as' methods and analysis, even disagreeing with his goals. Batman Begins is my personal favorite. It created the trend of exploring superheroes' inner self

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Touché. In the film storyline, indeed the four of them gave him guidance and love. But in the context of this scene, the resemblance between Thomas and Ra'as is pretty evident
ThoughtGaze Damn dude get a life, looking comments for 5 minutes and in every comment which includes “did batman kill ra’s” you are there. (You started commenting 4 months ago..)
Rás closing his eyes is great. Rás was actually quite a cool guy and in fairness he MADE batman. Definitely one of the coolest villains. Literally never looked scared once.
Well Ras is the son of a sultan, and he is from the Middle East The mentality of middle eastern people are different and Ras was a strong and powerful men.
But, I don't get one thing. Why didn't he jump off the train when he had the chance? Since he isn't injured fatally or anything, he could've escape from the train before it fell off and get somewhere safe. Was it his way of admitting defeat and he accepted death as his fate for his failure?
Ironically, I think Ra's was proud of Bruce. He may have been opposed to everything Ra's represented, but he stood true to his own beliefs. And Ra's may have respected that aspect of Bruce Wayne.
It reminds me of the ending of AC Black Flag, where Governor Torres was killed by Kenway. Despite being a thorn in Torrres' side, he still respected Kenway with his last line. "You wear your convictions well, they suit you."
More likely Ghul recognized that while he claimed to not be killing him, he actually did. He had made sure the train could not stop and then blew up the rail. So he died content because his pupil was willing to kill him.
I love how Ra's al Ghul keeps defeating Batman in fight. First on the ice, where he trains him, second at his mansion, third here in train but Batman does excatly what Ra's did on the ice. He is letting Ra's think he won the fight keeping him away from the train's console. Then that beautiful line comes in ''You never learned to mind your surroundings'' its proof that Batman learns from his mistakes(like where he manage to defeat Bane in round 2)
Actually the only other villian I recalled accepted his demise was John Travoltas character in Broken Arrow 1996. He takes a missle head on with a smile on his face.
Ra's: "You're just an ordinary man in a cape, that's why you couldn't fight injustice, and that's why you can't stop this train." Bruce: "Who said anything about stopping it?"

1:49 - 2:09 That's what made *Batman: Begins* one of the best origin stories. His father's last words was *"don't be afraid"* and Batman mastered not fear of bats, but human fear itself. Humans fear being forgotten and death itself...and Batman (though having a plan, it still was *in retrospect* not a solid plan) was willing to die for what he believed in...that's what made this movie significant, to me.
@@RShadow12 These guys think that if you're going to be cast as Batman, you somehow MUST do Kevin Conroy voice. Then almost no one would fit the character.
I've been going through a bunch of clips of the Dark Knight trilogy and I've realized something. The music that plays at 2:49 always plays when he defeats the villain. It plays here, when he threw Joker of the building and when Talia's truck went off the over pass.
His first disciple, Bruce Wayne, the hope of Ra`s Al Gul, ironically ended with his legacy, his bloodline & his doctrine. Batman was the one who burned his temple, who looked weeping at the stones and flames and embraced his death, covering it with his darkness. This is so Shakespearean, Nolan is a genius, without a doubt, this is the best Batman trilogy. Those who come from him in the future will never be able to overcome it
I like to imagine what it would have been like instead of bane, the villain would be killer croc. The dark knight rises is my fav of the three. I’m just thinking in alternate version with croc. Nolan could’ve done that in a realistic universe and forget the short story before the dark knight. The tag line would be a homage to Batman returns, “Get ready for the true freak of Gotham”. Waylon Jones Is a sewer living man with a skin disease that gives him the appearance of a reptile almost. His teeth are normal except his canines are a little bigger. In the beginning, the cia gets prisoners to interrogate just like in the bane version. The league of shadows dude tells the cia guy that these criminals work for the freak. The croc man. Basically the league of shadows breaks croc out and he escapes on the plain with dr pavel. His mission is to get revenge on Wayne enterprise for his fathers poor health that caused him to have a birth condition when he was born. Doing this with the forced help of dr pavel he wants to release radioactive energy out to Gotham to make the next generation of children freaks like him.
It's sad that Batman Begins is such an undervalued film that barely gets talked about, because it's actually a very well made film. DC struck gold by getting Nolan as a director.
Actually Nolan went to WB to get funding for Inception. They were like done, but make this superhero trilogy for us in case we lose money on your insane dream movie. Nolan being Nolan decided I am going to reinvent the entire superhero genre. Seems to be a firm believer in the philosophy that anything worth achieving is worth overachieving.
You never LEARNED TO MIND YOUR SURROUNDINGS! I swear he says that out of anger, frustration, and succession as his teacher kept reminding him how he keeps failing that test. Now, he can say it back.
I like how instead of screaming like normal bad guys in these movies, Ra's accepts his fate by closing his eyes like a true ninja. also, 2:15 is just gold.
2:01 to 2:22 Bruce is smarter than Ra’s anticipated. He DID do what was necessary. 2:36 To 2:45 This always gives me chills. It’s cold yet smart at the same time. 2:53 Now this is accepting your fate.
“You are just an ordinary man in a cape. That’s why you couldn’t fight injustice and that’s why you can’t stop this train” idk why that line goes so hard but it does.
I've always hated that "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you." bit. The effect on the world is the same. This just makes Batman's no killing rule a personal copout for taking responsibility instead of a firmly held belief.
That moment at 0:09 marked the climax of the whole scene. Ducard and Batman staring at each other, especially Ducard assessing the gravity of the fight to come. The two of them knew the confrontation would be to the death. It was clearly the very first time Ducard got scared (and maybe secretly proud) of his former student, he would never expect such resiliance and willpower from Batman whom he wrongfully underestimated.
Around 1:25 Ra's goes to boxing stance. Liam Neeson knows that sport and it fits character as well - in stress most familiar is what is being used and Ducard might have known boxing before being indoctrinated.
BatBale: I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you...... Batfleck: I won't kill you, I am just gonna hurt you.....Really.....Really Bad!!! Battinson: You are still alive????
My dad (RIP) said many years ago that since 'we' didn't 'actually' see Ra's al Ghul die in that train explosion, that he might have survived. But I guess The Dark Knight Rises proved that theory wrong. Too bad my dad didn't live around that time to see the movie for himself to find out.
I love how despite having perfectly good reasons to save Ra's at the beginning and to leave him to die at the end, both ultimately led to the main conflicts of BB and TDKR. Had he done the opposite of what he did in either of the situations, he could have then saved himself a lot of trouble.
0:05 - 0:14 you can see the slight shock on ra's face as he watches his student leap through the window in a bat costume and then stare him down like that
only Nolan and Liam Neeson can secretly make a compassion, father figure character like Henri Ducard, and turn it upside-down into a vengeful villain as Ra's Al Ghul
@@trueblue6201 true. But it does apply especially to this one. Liam was known for mentor characters. And beginning with that, and switching it, he hadn’t played a villain before, makes him the perfect casting for Ra’s Al Ghul.
@Game Gladi8or Oh he absolutely played villains before Batman Begins. However that was when he was not as much of a star so people are not as aware of those roles.
I've never understood this pointless debate over whether or not Batman really killed him. Like I guess it's fun to debate to have if you wanna be technical with it, but I don't think it's super important at the end of the day. Bruce saved Ra's at the beginning of the movie. He learned from his mistake and chose not to save him when the time came again, without compromising his moral code. From a writing perspective, it's a satisfying way for your villain to be defeated. I get chills every time Batman glides out of the train.
Actively killing and passively allowing to die are two different things. Maybe they both end up with the same result, but the action in both is different
I agree with the whole it isn’t super important narrative and I personally don’t care myself. This is my first time actually seeing that this was an argument thag was debated (that Batman killed Ra), and to be completely honest, I would side with that notion. Yes Batman didn’t directly kill Ra in the idea of be stabbed his heart or sometbing etc. Etc. However he was the indirect cause. He and Gordon blew up the train tracks and even had a physical fight with him, which he later escaped since he had the right instruments to do so, but in the end leaving Ra defenceless and incapable of running. These things were what lead to The death of Ra, and it was both done by Batman (Bruce) and Gordon, so they’re responsible for his death… As mentioned earlier though, don’t think it’s all that serious.
I always love watching the fight scenes in these movies, most superhero movies have to use a lot of CGI due to the super powers but here it’s just bone breaking choreographing it’s a nice change of pace
Ra's al Ghul is a top villain! He also really has a connection to Batman as it was he who trained him, gave him a lot of valuable advice and tips. Quotes like that theatrics and deception are powerful tools, that you have to be aware of your surroundings when fighting, that you have to do what is necessary and everything. The difference between the two is that Ra's has no qualms and advocates revenge and murder, while Batman stands for justice and is more moral. They share a common past and the same goal, but approach it differently, ultimately leading to Batman having to stop Ra's. But he still takes his advice and the tough training to heart and that's why he can ultimately beat him at his own game. This battle is also very realistic! No huge explosions, no enemies being thrown through the air and so on. Just two men really fighting! And while Ra's gains the upper hand, he ultimately falls victim to his own weapons as Bruce, while not physically defeating him, distracts him with the fight enough to ignore the broken train controls and collapsing overhead rails that precede the train are. A clever move by Batman! He doesn't just defeat his opponent, he causes him to make an ultimately fatal mistake! And also the ending of this fight is very realistic! In most films, the villain would probably still do everything to get out of his position screaming loudly or something! Not Ra's al Ghul! He knows he has no more chances, closes his eyes and accepts the inevitable! Batman, on the other hand, is able to save himself thanks to his suit, again validating Ra's claim that theatrics and deception are powerful tools!
Liam Neeson is top of the line actor. He’s so good and perfect that “Perfect” is an insult to him. Him along Clint Eastwood, Tome Cruise are the Actor of Actors they simply own everything regarding acting and the media entertainment. Acting was born out of them,

0:11 Batman glaring and Ra's as Hans Zimmer's score intensifies, is one of my favorite moments in the entire trilogy!
Still remember seeing this masterpiece in the theater ....Most amazing cinematic experience one can get!!!
How was the audience reaction from the ending where joker card shows.
@@miguelgarcia6170 didn't remember exactly but i can tell you than the whole final act was absolute epic in the big screen !!!
I think I watched it 3 or 4 times. This was definitely the best batman movie
His first disciple, Bruce Wayne, the hope of Ra`s Al Gul, ironically ended with his legacy, his bloodline & his doctrine.
Batman was the one who burned his temple, who looked weeping at the stones and flames and embraced his death, covering it with his darkness.
This is so Shakespearean, Nolan is a genius, without a doubt, this is the best Batman trilogy. Those who come from him in the future will never be able to overcome it
I like to imagine what it would have been like instead of bane, the villain would be killer croc. The dark knight rises is my fav of the three. I’m just thinking in alternate version with croc. Nolan could’ve done that in a realistic universe and forget the short story before the dark knight.
The tag line would be a homage to Batman returns, “Get ready for the true freak of Gotham”.
Waylon Jones Is a sewer living man with a skin disease that gives him the appearance of a reptile almost. His teeth are normal except his canines are a little bigger. In the beginning, the cia gets prisoners to interrogate just like in the bane version. The league of shadows dude tells the cia guy that these criminals work for the freak. The croc man. Basically the league of shadows breaks croc out and he escapes on the plain with dr pavel.
His mission is to get revenge on Wayne enterprise for his fathers poor health that caused him to have a birth condition when he was born. Doing this with the forced help of dr pavel he wants to release radioactive energy out to Gotham to make the next generation of children freaks like him.
2:50 they reuse this music when Bruce tosses Joker off the building in TDK...and catch him of course, awesome...
And when he makes the bomb truck driven by Miranda fall into the viaduct
👌👌👌
It’s the good triumphs evil sound effect I guess lol
It's like good guy pulls a "no u" on bad guy.
2:01 I just love how Ra's says that and the music goes very well with it too
Batman tried spinning that's a good trick
It's sad that Batman Begins is such an undervalued film that barely gets talked about, because it's actually a very well made film. DC struck gold by getting Nolan as a director.
Better than the dceu
Actually Nolan went to WB to get funding for Inception. They were like done, but make this superhero trilogy for us in case we lose money on your insane dream movie. Nolan being Nolan decided I am going to reinvent the entire superhero genre. Seems to be a firm believer in the philosophy that anything worth achieving is worth overachieving.
ra's died as a true ninja he closes his eyes and accept his failure
2:00 This part always gets me
Gary Oldman always gives his all no matter what role he's in, bless
Ignitus!
You never LEARNED TO MIND YOUR SURROUNDINGS!
I swear he says that out of anger, frustration, and succession as his teacher kept reminding him how he keeps failing that test. Now, he can say it back.
I like how instead of screaming like normal bad guys in these movies, Ra's accepts his fate by closing his eyes like a true ninja.
also, 2:15 is just gold.
Yesss!
@@VideosbyJohn2012 You also did the same thing.
In their last moments people show you who they really are.
@@VideosbyJohn2012 it’s because ppl have similar opinions. Ever think of that, dipshit?
@@ObiWanKenobi he copied another comment from word to word dipshit
2:01 to 2:22 Bruce is smarter than Ra’s anticipated. He DID do what was necessary.
2:36 To 2:45 This always gives me chills. It’s cold yet smart at the same time.
2:53 Now this is accepting your fate.
2:15 when i pass my exam.
Also the music is amazing
More like math exam
2:55 me after seeing my failing grade.
@@kingfloyd0001 holy crap man I needed to find my inhaler😅🤣😂 you accepted your fate of getting scolded by your parents😅🤣
“You are just an ordinary man in a cape. That’s why you couldn’t fight injustice and that’s why you can’t stop this train” idk why that line goes so hard but it does.
2:15 Commissioner Gordon is so adorable in this
Yes!!!
ras: familiar dont you have anything new?
batman: HOWWWBOOOOATTHIIISSS!!!
0:26
Lidaa latap LMFAOOOOOOOOO, HAAAAAWBOOOTDIIIIIS
You have finally learned to do what is necessary.
Ra's Al Ghul: Familiar! Don't you have anything you? (Strikes him with sword)
Batman: (Dodges sword with gauntlets) How about this?!
Wrist claws are dope.
0:30
That's a look of annoyance.
He's like "Hey You broke my sword."
It's testimony to Ras that, even as a mid-50s man, he can hold his own and defeat a younger man in armour.
I've always hated that "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you." bit. The effect on the world is the same. This just makes Batman's no killing rule a personal copout for taking responsibility instead of a firmly held belief.
"I won't kill you... but you're hospital bills will."
2:49 amazing music!
Louiemeister yeah man what's the soundtrack?
Same in TDK when he threw Joker off the building.
Gives me goosebumps man
Also the same when Talia Al Ghul truck crashes in TDKR. (2012).
It’s what we call “when the bad guy is stopped.”
The music at 2:49 and Ra's accepting his death is so freakin epic. ❤
That moment at 0:09 marked the climax of the whole scene. Ducard and Batman staring at each other, especially Ducard assessing the gravity of the fight to come. The two of them knew the confrontation would be to the death. It was clearly the very first time Ducard got scared (and maybe secretly proud) of his former student, he would never expect such resiliance and willpower from Batman whom he wrongfully underestimated.
Around 1:25 Ra's goes to boxing stance. Liam Neeson knows that sport and it fits character as well - in stress most familiar is what is being used and Ducard might have known boxing before being indoctrinated.
"I won't kill you........But I don't have to save you." One of the best lines from a hero and it was from Batman.
Ra's is like 15-20 yrs older than Bruce, still beats him in hand to hand combat 🔥 🔥 🔥
BatBale: I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you......
Batfleck: I won't kill you, I am just gonna hurt you.....Really.....Really Bad!!!
Battinson: You are still alive????
As much as I appreciate The Dark Knight as a better film. But Batman Begins is my favorite movie of the trilogy, I can watch it again and again.
ikr! I would watch it every night on my ipod XDXD
Agreed, I always said Batman begins was the better Batman movie but the dark Knight was a better film.
My dad (RIP) said many years ago that since 'we' didn't 'actually' see Ra's al Ghul die in that train explosion, that he might have survived. But I guess The Dark Knight Rises proved that theory wrong. Too bad my dad didn't live around that time to see the movie for himself to find out.
Peace be upon him. Amen
Douglas Snyder I’m sorry about your father. I hope he rests well
@@mr.johnson9252 Thank you.
RIH (rest in heaven) 🙏🙏
I still feel they left it open. When Bruce sees him in the third movie, maybe it actually was him in person.
Resul Gül dying in peace, knowing he's lost to a worthy enemy.
I love how despite having perfectly good reasons to save Ra's at the beginning and to leave him to die at the end, both ultimately led to the main conflicts of BB and TDKR. Had he done the opposite of what he did in either of the situations, he could have then saved himself a lot of trouble.
"I won't kill you - but I don't have to save you." That's manslaughter! DING!
Gordon technically killed him.
And you dont have to save someone if it would endanger your own life ..
Saving someone from suicide is manslaughter?
Todd Garver no. Except Ra's wasn't killing himself, which is how suicides work? :/
2:39 EPIC, LEGENDARY 🦇
1:20 when I’m walking outside and see a 1998 Honda Civic
0:05 - 0:14 you can see the slight shock on ra's face as he watches his student leap through the window in a bat costume and then stare him down like that
In their last moment people show you who they really are -Joker
Greatest Batman voice in the trilogy is when he said
“ how about this”
Familiar, don't you have anything new?
Such an underrated film. Whole trilogy was just incredible.
I won't kill you but I don't have to save you.
One of my favorite quotes of the Nolan trilogy
Agreed! Still gives me goosebumps to this day! Never gets old! ❤
only Nolan and Liam Neeson can secretly make a compassion, father figure character like Henri Ducard, and turn it upside-down into a vengeful villain as Ra's Al Ghul
I mean Disney does the surprise villain a lot. You also have Get Out, Pyscho, Clue, LA Confidential, Alien, Unbreakable, etec.
@@trueblue6201 true. But it does apply especially to this one. Liam was known for mentor characters. And beginning with that, and switching it, he hadn’t played a villain before, makes him the perfect casting for Ra’s Al Ghul.
@Game Gladi8or Oh he absolutely played villains before Batman Begins. However that was when he was not as much of a star so people are not as aware of those roles.
@@trueblue6201 only thing disney does is suck
@@QuestionmarkTimes2 Spoken like an internet edge lord.
I love that line...
"I won't kill you. But, I don't have to save you."
The way Batman flies off the train is legendary. Saw this movie in theaters and was amazing.
Ra's Al Ghul is an awesome character
2:25 This scene is just beautiful!
Where’s your particular set of skills now huh Liam neeson?!? 🖕🖕🖕 2:55
The Joker I pee'd my short shorts laughing @ this comment
Tell that to Ledger 😆
@His snake Is liquid Have you seen the movies? that didn't happen
Well he didn’t make taken them, so he didn’t have them yet. :D
He became one with the force!
Ras accepted his destiny like a champ
Me and the Boys when there's only one slice of Pizza left.
I've never understood this pointless debate over whether or not Batman really killed him. Like I guess it's fun to debate to have if you wanna be technical with it, but I don't think it's super important at the end of the day. Bruce saved Ra's at the beginning of the movie. He learned from his mistake and chose not to save him when the time came again, without compromising his moral code. From a writing perspective, it's a satisfying way for your villain to be defeated. I get chills every time Batman glides out of the train.
God bless your comment.
I especially needed this after have this similar kind of argument with someone. This debate is so dumb and pointless.
Actively killing and passively allowing to die are two different things. Maybe they both end up with the same result, but the action in both is different
@@StyIoire At least you get it.
I agree with the whole it isn’t super important narrative and I personally don’t care myself. This is my first time actually seeing that this was an argument thag was debated (that Batman killed Ra), and to be completely honest, I would side with that notion.
Yes Batman didn’t directly kill Ra in the idea of be stabbed his heart or sometbing etc. Etc. However he was the indirect cause. He and Gordon blew up the train tracks and even had a physical fight with him, which he later escaped since he had the right instruments to do so, but in the end leaving Ra defenceless and incapable of running. These things were what lead to The death of Ra, and it was both done by Batman (Bruce) and Gordon, so they’re responsible for his death…
As mentioned earlier though, don’t think it’s all that serious.
I always love watching the fight scenes in these movies, most superhero movies have to use a lot of CGI due to the super powers but here it’s just bone breaking choreographing it’s a nice change of pace
Ra's al Ghul is a top villain! He also really has a connection to Batman as it was he who trained him, gave him a lot of valuable advice and tips. Quotes like that theatrics and deception are powerful tools, that you have to be aware of your surroundings when fighting, that you have to do what is necessary and everything. The difference between the two is that Ra's has no qualms and advocates revenge and murder, while Batman stands for justice and is more moral. They share a common past and the same goal, but approach it differently, ultimately leading to Batman having to stop Ra's. But he still takes his advice and the tough training to heart and that's why he can ultimately beat him at his own game. This battle is also very realistic! No huge explosions, no enemies being thrown through the air and so on. Just two men really fighting! And while Ra's gains the upper hand, he ultimately falls victim to his own weapons as Bruce, while not physically defeating him, distracts him with the fight enough to ignore the broken train controls and collapsing overhead rails that precede the train are. A clever move by Batman! He doesn't just defeat his opponent, he causes him to make an ultimately fatal mistake! And also the ending of this fight is very realistic! In most films, the villain would probably still do everything to get out of his position screaming loudly or something! Not Ra's al Ghul! He knows he has no more chances, closes his eyes and accepts the inevitable! Batman, on the other hand, is able to save himself thanks to his suit, again validating Ra's claim that theatrics and deception are powerful tools!
Liam Neeson is top of the line actor. He’s so good and perfect that “Perfect” is an insult to him. Him along Clint Eastwood, Tome Cruise are the Actor of Actors they simply own everything regarding acting and the media entertainment. Acting was born out of them,
Ra’s: “that’s why you couldn’t fight injustice and that’s why you can’t stop this train!”
Batman: do I look like Spider-Man to you?
¡Es mi parte más favorita y como me gusta mucho esta película está de rechupete amigo gracias!!!👍😊
Man why Batman is the best superhero ever. Best villains, best stories! no other hero can beat up this. Love you DC
1:51
I love this music
Me too! Hans Zimmer at his best
Batman when leaving Ra's al ghul behind: “I missed the part where that’s my problem.”
2:49 My dad when I was born
Ra's Al Ghul is such a honorable antagonist
I like to think Ras said, "Don't be afraid Bruce" as a way to mock Bruce because when they were training Bruce told him that was his dads last words
The look he gives at 0:09 is fear
When batman rolls his eyes back before escaping. The white eyes look menacing. Don't know why they don't just have him wear white contacts.
Have you ever tried white contacts? You can nearly see through them, not very good for being a vigilante!
CG is a better alternative than.
I didn’t even notice that before
I've always wondered why they did this...
Ra's death is like Thanos's. Both accept their defeat with honor. Respect to them both for sticking to their ideals
0:09 is so funny to me. Ra's is probably thinking in his mind, This guy just does not know when to quit.
Eyes of Batman 😡
2:36 i love that
Liam Nesson was absolutely killing it with this role.
