The shadow of Ra’s al Ghul stretches far beyond his apparent death, leaving behind unanswered questions and unfinished designs. As fragments of his influence resurface, Batman is forced to confront a threat that operates on patience measured in centuries—one shaped by legacy, bloodline, and long memory.
The investigation draws in Robin and Nightwing, binding the Bat-family together as the mystery deepens. Each revelation tightens the connection between Ra’s return and Damian Wayne’s destiny, turning a globe-spanning conspiracy into a deeply personal reckoning.
Guided by an acclaimed creative team led by Grant Morrison, Paul Dini, and Peter Milligan, and brought to life by a lineup of defining Batman artists including Tony S. Daniel, Ryan Benjamin, and Freddie Williams II, this crossover unfolds across several core Bat-titles, originally released in late 2007. The Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul stands as a defining modern event, reshaping Batman’s world and the legacy of one of his greatest foes.
Collects Batman #670–671, Robin #168–169, Detective Comics #838–839, Nightwing #138–139, Batman Annual #26, and Robin Annual #7.
