Description[]
In LEGO Batman[]
Ra's hair piece is two toned, with two shades of grey- light stone and dark stone. His face has two green eyes with large eyebrows above. He has a frown, a sallow face, and a goatee. Ra's torso is shirtless with the same muscle pattern as Nightwing's torso. Ra's legs are light green.
Ra's carries two brown Staffs for weapons, and uses them in an identical fashion to Nightwing.
In LEGO Batman 2[]
Ra's' appearance in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is slightly changed, he has a green cape, the darker part of his hair is black instead of dark grey, an updated muscle design, and now uses a sword to fight instead of brown staffs.
Background[]
Ra's Al Ghul is the head of an assassin organization known as the League of Assassins (also known as the League of Shadows), in fact, his name translated from Arabic means "Head of the Demon", and an international terrorist, attempting to bring the world into perfect enviromental balance by eliminating most of humanity while also trying to conquer it to instil an era of order. Ra's has lived for centuries, so long that he has forgotten his real name, by bathing in the youth-restoring Lazarus Pit. Ra's is a master in martial arts and very intelligent. He has a daughter named Talia who is loyal to him, but has betrayed him on several occasions. When Ra's moved his base of operations to Gotham, he deduced Bruce Wayne's identity as Batman and offered him to wed Talia and to become Ra's heir. Batman refused, even though he and Talia fell in love, and Ra's became one of his enemies.
Ra's found a replacement for Batman as a heir in the form of the detective's arch-nemesis Bane. At first, Ra's dismissed Bane as an unworthy thug until Bane outwitted Ra's in a way that forced the demon to keep Bane as an ally. Praising Bane's intelligence, Ra's briefly took him as his new heir, engaged to Talia.

Notes[]
- In The Dark Knight Trilogy, he is played by Liam Neeson who also played Bad Cop/Good Cop and Pa Cop in The LEGO Movie, and Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
- In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Ra's parts are available for use in the character creator when the Arkham Asylum hub is unlocked, rather than when he is purchased like most characters.
- In the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Batman he wears his robe for his torso top, but he doesn't have his robe top in the platform versions, nor in both versions of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
- He, Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Commissioner Gordon were the only Batman characters who only appear in their The Dark Knight trilogy variants through DLC in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
- He is one of the few of Batman's main enemies who did not make an appearance in The LEGO Batman Movie.
