I get where you are coming from but joker is just the best I get goose bumps every time i see joker and just has some really iconic moments that Ra's just does not have
Man, I think it would be really cool a series of League of Assassins, showing the origins of Ra's, and telling a whole mythology around the League, showing how Ra's wins the loyalty of his soldiers, and stuff like that!
Ngl I’m not the most knowledgeable comic book fan or even the oldest, or even owning a single comic but variant and some other channels have succeeded in hooking me to all comics. Thanks guys! Love ya
@@nickmoutzourhs9864 Wow, you just turned an appreciation for an awesome shirt into a personal attack. Be careful not to cut yourself with all that edge.
In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him… the Doom Slayer.
@Kyree Johnson rhino is fucking dumb Electro is underwhelming and kind pin is more of Daredevil villian to me hes just basic mob bos but the others are 🔥. Nowhere near the amount or caliber of batman though
I’d still think Batman was the best regardless of his rogues gallery. I always liked that Batman was a mortal man. I see so many people that think that undermines him somehow. To me, he’s like our representative in comics. A dude that ascended to superhero status, able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of the justice league, thanks to tireless discipline and perseverance. That resonates with me.
1:38 *One of the baddest martial artists in all of comic books, not just the DC Universe.* Thank you for stating that, put some respect on Shiva's name.
@Blue Lantern lmao, Shang Chi is probably the only person you listed that could beat Shiva, Iron Fist also stand a great chance, but Shiva would mop the floor with Daredevil.
Out of all the DC history, lore, and background of characters and teams, the league of assassin's and shadows especially with the women and their names, histories, temporary allies, teamups, etc. Is definitely the one part of the DC universe where I have had the hardest time to fully understand all of its backstory.
Only minor criticism I have of the video is that I would have liked Arris to slow down a little bit when talking about Ra's Al Guhl's first born daughter and her recruitment of Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain (So from 4:37 to 4:54). A brief pause would've been nice, just personally felt the pace of that brief part of the video was too fast. Just something to bear in mind for future Variant videos. Anyways, love the channel, and the podcast, keep up the awesome content!!
I honestly hope Pattinson does well as Batman. Not just because I want to see a great new school live action Batman, but honestly because I kind of feel sorry for Pattinson. Can anyone honestly say that they don't automatically think of those God awful Twilight movies when they hear his name? I don't honestly know if he even liked being in those movies or not, but if I were him, and I had a chance to go from being the guy who sparkled instead of turning into a bat to being the Batman, then I would do everything in my power to make sure I did the role justice. I think Pattinson can do it.
Please do a episode explains the hierarchy of the different cosmic beings in the dc. There are so many different cosmic beings in dc so I would love to see the hierarchy explained
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with the history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Do you think we will see the League of Assassins in the DCEU so that we can see Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain along with Damian Wayne? Can you do history of Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva?
Can we get a TOP 10 VILLAIN FIGHTS please? It’s always freakin’ awesome to see two villains (or more) going at it. I’m sure there have been some great vs over the years? Got the idea after watching Trigon and darkseid duke it out in the apokolips war film.
that really depends on who you ask. for me personally both good and bad in their own ways. the Nolan version was more mysterious and deadly like the comics. although it seemed more rooted in tablet culture rather than arabic culture. the costumes, the location, the sets, and weapons didn't look like the comics. the cw version defiantly looked more like the comics like the costumes, the sets(especially ra's main Thorne room), location, and costumes and weapons.. unfortunately the cw version was not that deadly at all. and both the Nolan and arrow league of assassins and their ra's al gul wasn't nearly as intimidating as he should be imo.
I like to picture League of Assassins is what they are that people who know what they are sometimes call them, but not an actual name for the group. While Legue of Shadows is one of their more official names.
Weird that the shadows were only introduced in 2017 when they were in the young justice show years prior. They were in the comics from the show too. Right?
thing I love about green arrow, the contrast on how it's not the money, not the training or the suit that makes batman, its batman who makes himself batman. otherwise he'd be green arrow.
@@MuhammadAli-sp4kq Nah, I was just curious, I wasn't sure what you were referring to, so I had to ask, lol, I didn't think you were mad about anything.
Ra's Al Ghul is honestly one of the best Batman villains period, but everyone only talks about The Joker.
Ra’s is my favourite Batman villain
That clown is OVERRATED he's nothing but a dweeb with a crush on a guy in a bat suit 24/7
I get where you are coming from but joker is just the best I get goose bumps every time i see joker and just has some really iconic moments that Ra's just does not have
@@ll7evan cause he's overused and gets all the screen time. Joker is basically the John cena of villains
@@ll7evan Ra’s has iconic moments to
Man, I think it would be really cool a series of League of Assassins, showing the origins of Ra's, and telling a whole mythology around the League, showing how Ra's wins the loyalty of his soldiers, and stuff like that!
It is I believe it's in the Animated Series that's when I first learned about him I don't believe it's his complete story but it's a good chunk of it
Ngl I’m not the most knowledgeable comic book fan or even the oldest, or even owning a single comic but variant and some other channels have succeeded in hooking me to all comics. Thanks guys! Love ya
Ra’s al ghul is my favourite Batman villain/DC villain he’s such an amazing character
Agreed I like him too he is the shit.
Me too
Totally
Same dude
Leonardo kicked his nuts.
I liked him more in Under the Redhood movie. He blame himself for the death of Jason Todd.
Gotta love that shirt ❤
Why is he so old
This guy is ugly
He’s a nerd

Why did I have a feeling that this comment would be here
Why Batman is best superhero ?
Because he's got Joker, Two face, Ra's al ghul, Penguin, Riddler etcetera etcetera.
Peter Parker!

League of Assassins vs Court of Owls
Who wins?
Arris needs to make a verses episode.
Court of Owls for sheer amount of planning time , but just for combat the League of Assassins would win
League of assassin's will win 100%
League of assassins

Thank you for stating that, put some respect on Shiva's name.
All The World's A Stage! Meh Richard dragon is a better martial artist
In the Dogshit movie.
Lady Shiva: UGH! 💀
She isnt real
What if i write a chatacter named Jon and i declare hes the most advanced martial artist in all comic books
And he beat shiva in a fight
@Blue Lantern lmao, Shang Chi is probably the only person you listed that could beat Shiva, Iron Fist also stand a great chance, but Shiva would mop the floor with Daredevil.
you need to have a role in parts of DC and or Marvel movies. You could be a Professor in some college, you have the voice for it

Welcome to Variant comics, where we love comics more than we want Insomniac Games to fix Spider-man's face
lol
There is nothing wrong with his face.
Agreed
I just want them to make a multiplayer Spider-Man game, that’s all I want
I like his face 😔
Ok dude, you've outdone yourself. The topics you choose to do videos on are absolute 🔥.

To be honest Oliver Queen from Arrow is the Batman of the Arrowverse. Close enough
I want to see Batman vs Green Arrow movie
And why Green Arrow is not included in DC's so called Justice League
You guys have the collest most satisfaying intro and the jokers laugh only makes it better .
Best description thank u
I've been waiting for the video for what seems like an eternity!
Asked for this a few years ago, much appreciation
So glad you been doing more videos recently
who else got super upset when he did not talk about Damien wayne
Me :(
No Talia, No Damien, barely any talk about even Batman's involment with the League.
Great video!!
Imagine the league of assassins going against the hand. That would be a hell of a fight.
Imagine The Epic Fight And War Between Kraven The Hunter And The Kravinoff Hunters Family vs Ra's Al Ghul And The League Of Assassins
I was distracted and heard diplomats as nipple bats
As you should
Missed opportunity not having a League of Assassins/Shadows TV series. I would love a series about Ra's Al Ghul's journey throughout history.
maybe on HBO Max
*PLEASE* MAKE A "TOP 10 FLASH VILLAINS" VIDEO, *PLEASE*!😆😁😉😁
Yes!!!
@@gomolemotshabalala3681 THANK YOU FOR AGREEING WITH ME ON IT!😆😁😉😁

Batman and his villains are so awesomely amazing

The Nolan Batman is the best
I just want his back broken by bane👍
3:40 That plot was almost directly adapted into a BTAS episode! The more you know.
Long time fan of channel and new subscriber keep up good work
Smashed the like button Variant Comics.
Awesome review of one of the greatest organizations and villains in dc comics history.
The League of Assassins or The League of Shadows. Which one sounds cool. Honestly League of Shadows sounds cool to me.
Love it. Should also do a origin story of the hand.
Really Awesome video :) Love it :)
CONGRATS ON GETTING 2 MILLION SUBS
You've done it again arris
Can you do origins of the monarch or uncle ruckus loved that character in boondocks
Please do a episode explains the hierarchy of the different cosmic beings in the dc. There are so many different cosmic beings in dc so I would love to see the hierarchy explained
I know it's a villain month but we need anti hero month where you make origin of spectre, captain atom
@Someone Special no, but I want him to make a video on him
Couldn't wait for this video
How did I miss this?!?! I looove the League of Assassins
DC’s League of Assassin’s/Shadows vs Marvel’s The Hand!
Okuyasu's the Hand will defeat Lady Shiva alright.
✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Now all i need is 'League of Assasin' vs 'Talons' vs Batman and the Bat Family
very cool!!
I cant believe they didn't even mention damian . He is his grandson!!
Varient Villians.
Luv it!!
As much as I luv you "hunters" of the great w.w. Way...
I want to get into batman comics but don't know where to start, any recomendations.
Im loving these villain videos
The League of assassins are not villains....
They are just misunderstood
God the iconic fight with Ra’s al ghul vs Batman in issue #244 “1972” the fight lasted for couple of hours one of Batman’s best fights ever
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with the history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Do origin of foot clan and origin of hell fire club
Can u guys do the final issue episode of three jokers storyline??? The last issue is already out.
I can't believe that I'm 40 minutes late for this video. Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
I'd like to see a league of assassins vs the court of owls
I always wantes this video but I'm busy so I'm sad.
Arris you should do an episode on The Hand vs The League of Assassins!
Dope, Man we need some live action villain flicks from thd D.C and Marvel universes.
So there is a league of shadows, they're a group that's separated from the league of assassins.
Do you think we will see the League of Assassins in the DCEU so that we can see Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain along with Damian Wayne? Can you do history of Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva?
I think he did Cassandra
Can we get a TOP 10 VILLAIN FIGHTS please?
It’s always freakin’ awesome to see two villains (or more) going at it. I’m sure there have been some great vs over the years?
Got the idea after watching Trigon and darkseid duke it out in the apokolips war film.
He’s Arabic raas (head) al ghul (of the demon) this is Arabic and I’m Arab so you can’t debate me on this. Raas is pronounced like r-aa-s
Wait to be clear
Raz or ras with an 'h'
Hey variant could you do history of The H.I.V.E. Or brother blood.
Ra's al ghul is such a great villain
Arkham games gives you the chance to fight this legend
Which live action version of the League of Assassins is better between the one from Christian Bale Batman Begins and the one from the CW Arrow?
that really depends on who you ask. for me personally both good and bad in their own ways. the Nolan version was more mysterious and deadly like the comics. although it seemed more rooted in tablet culture rather than arabic culture. the costumes, the location, the sets, and weapons didn't look like the comics. the cw version defiantly looked more like the comics like the costumes, the sets(especially ra's main Thorne room), location, and costumes and weapons.. unfortunately the cw version was not that deadly at all. and both the Nolan and arrow league of assassins and their ra's al gul wasn't nearly as intimidating as he should be imo.
Variant rocks
Now if we can get a movie focused on the League of Assassins, then I’d watch it.
they atacc
they protecc
but most importantly
they jump in hay stacc
2:46 its the demons head
Translating is a bit hard, it could be one or the other, but we get the point basically.
I like to picture League of Assassins is what they are that people who know what they are sometimes call them, but not an actual name for the group. While Legue of Shadows is one of their more official names.
I think that it would be really cool if you guys made a video about all the members of the bat family
The league of assassins vs the Hand
Hand is offbrand league of assassins
Okuyasu: ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
So they’re like the hand except actually deadly
League of assassins is very very dangerous
You should do the history of the hand and the history of the foot from TMNT and Daredevil
Weird that the shadows were only introduced in 2017 when they were in the young justice show years prior. They were in the comics from the show too. Right?
Ra's means head in Arabic and since I'm Arabic, i have to tell you guys it's pronounced "Raas" not "Raysh".
I think every Batman fan knows that, but thank you for pointing it out.
which Arab nation are you/and or your family is from in North Africa or West Asia?
slade tuner From the gulf.
So from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman, Qatar or Kuwait i presume
@@sladetuner8661 yes
Do electro next please
Please do an episode on Lady Shiva, "How powerful or Origin of..." PLEASE. maybe even a "vs" episode too.
the sensei appeared in young justice outsiders.
Great job arris
Ra's Al Ghul is one of Batman's greatest rogue gallery villains but also Ra's Al Ghul is also the grandfather of Batman's 1st born son damian wayne

Can't believe I didn't know you had two daughters 💙🤗
Bronze tiger, Cheshire Cat, and Jason Todd? I need to read this book 📖 ASAP
Batman has the most badass villains.
Plz talk about the hellfire club , poison ivy or quake .
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal (Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
Arris can you do a History for All the Blue Beetle and Kirk Langstrom Batman
Imagine league of shadows vs court of owls in a film
WB should make a movie or TV show about the League of Assassins and it should be called Ra's Al Ghul and the beninging of the League of Assassins
So who is older Vandal Savage, or Ra's
@Vagabond That's kinda what I was thinking
Arris what do you think is Ra's is the best leader or Talia is the best leader of the league of Assassin
Ra’s
Could you do a top 10 strongest marvel metals video when you get the chance?
