Quotes 

• [Ra's reveals the identity of his captive] 

  Batman : Duvall.

  Robin : It can't be! He'd be over a hundred years old!

  Ra's Al Ghul : He was sentenced to fifty years at hard labor. Of course no one expected him to survive that sentence. No one but me.

  Batman : The Lazarus Pit.

  Ra's Al Ghul : When he was a young man, though even its powers cannot restore him now. When his sentence was completed, Arkady simply wandered away. The privations he had suffered had left his mind shattered. I had lost track of him until he turned up in that rest home.

  Batman : You left Duvall to his fate a century ago. Why come back for him now?

  Ra's Al Ghul : Did you really think, Detective, that in my 600 years of life, I would've sired only one offspring? Even before the Phoenix debacle, I had come to realize that Arkady was too unbalanced and cruel to wisely rule my empire.

  Batman : But you couldn't forget about him.

  Ra's Al Ghul : What father can ever forget his son? Come now, Detective. I've still a few good years left. We will cross swords another day. But for now, let me take my boy home.
