It's truly perfect that Nolan's version of Ras is spiritually immortal, not physically. That's so fantastic.

As soon as I heard Liam Neeson's voice, I got chills. Love that guy. Liam Neeson is a badass. He trained Batman, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and is the leader of the A-Team.

2:26 Looks like an old friend learned the path to immortality.

[KevinCarney]

Ra's is figuratively immortal, not literally. He's a legend in Bruce's mind. The ironic thing is that of all the father figures Bruce has had (Alfred, Gordon, Fox etc.), Ra's had the biggest impact on him. Bruce simply remembers what Ra's told him about his wife and puts the pieces together himself. Also, Ra's seems to confirm that Bane is his child, when it is really Talia. That proves that Bruce is just imagining him.

I used to wonder, since the guy knew that Bane was not the child, how come when Bruce says "Bane is the child you spoke of?" the doctor didn't tell him it wasn't.
After re-watching this scene it makes a lot more sense. The guy looks at Bruce weird (as if Bruce is wrong), and then proceeds to tell the story of the child. He was about to explain that the guardian was Bane, or at least that the child was Tahlia, but the old doctor told him to stop. 
Now this film makes a lot more sense (y)!

“There are many forms of immortality.” So badass. He’s not literally immortal. He doesn’t use a Lazarus pit. The Lazarus Pit is the prison itself. When Bruce rises from the pit, he is reborn

[geeqdadon]

Nolan’s take on the Lazarus Pit is genius, this is the first time Bruce sees Ras since his death and there he tells Bruce that he is immortal because the legend of the story is still being told.

"The mother was not so lucky"
Quite an understatement. The mother was the daughter of the warlord who condemned the prisoners in that hell hole, not to mention that all the prisoners there haven't exactly been with a woman for a long time. Those prisoners at 1:31 swarming in on her, they must've "used" her until she died. Can only imagine what hell she'd gone through. And they were planning the same for the child, that's why they mutilated Bane for setting her free.

[davidmclean]

Ra's was a mercenary who worked for a powerful warlord until he fell in love with the warlord's daughter. They secretly married and conceived a child. When the warlord discovered the marriage he planned to send Ra's to the pit but Ra's wife convinced her father to exile Ra's instead; Ra's wife took his place in the Pit. She gave birth to Talia but she was later murdered by prisoners after the doctor forgot to lock the cell. Bane became Talia's protector. Bane later helped Talia escape at the cost of him nearly dying from when some of the prisoners attacked him. Talia found her father and brought him back to exact vengeance but by the time the League and Ra's arrived Bane was already mutilated. The League trained Bane and Talia but Ra's couldn't accept Bane who he saw as a monster whose existence was a reminder of the place he left his wife to die in. Ra's excommunicated Bane from the League because Bane loved Talia who couldn't forgive her father until Bruce killed her father.

"With all your strength, all your resources, all your moral authority, and the only victory you could achieve was a lie." Damn. That cuts deep

[RShadow]

It truly frightens and disturbs me to think what happened to the wife. Definitely one of the darkest moments in the film

[transformersrevenge]

1:15 The doctor looks very damn sad and ashamed for failing to lock the cell that day.

[Sanguiluna]

When I first saw this film I facepalmed at the "Bane is Ra's Al Ghul's child" plot twist, but I was happy in the end.

[EchoBoomer]

I actually think it's brilliant that Nolan stuck to his realistic vision but still staying loyal to the original source material by giving Ras a different type immortality.

[jackalfox]

They could, or should make a stand alone film/trilogy of Bane.

[nikunjdixit]

Honestly, what I love about the way the legend of Bane and the story of the prison as is told is that because the story is divided over the course of several scenes, you don't really pay attention to the fact that the details don't add up. The fact that Bane seemed to have escaped as child without any scars, yet later we have a story of how the prison doctor saved Bane but messed up with his face and how the mask keeps the pain at bay doesn't make sense. It only really clicks into place when the twist is revealed and then it seems so obvious, especially when you realize the child actor escaping was a girl.

[thomasdunegan]

Being born in a prison, being a respectful heir and then exiled by Ra's al Ghul, caring for Talia al Ghul, understanding innocence in the world(through Talia in the film and not Osito, though), breaking Batman, using a nuclear weapon to destroy Gotham, being an intelligent villain as well as a master stategist...how is Schumacher's more comic book accurate?

[maxyaedo]

Liam Neeson is the best Ra's Al Ghul ever

Apparently i am a spinal surgeon and i didn't even knew it. Finally something to put in my resume.
