In “Batman: The Animated Series”, Ra’s Cameo was at the end of the first episode of Talia, “Off-Balance”. However, he meets Batman, however, in the two -part episode “The Demon’s Quest”. The first half is A very faithful adaptation of “Batman” # 232 – O’Ne even scripted him himself. “The Demon’s Quest: Part 2” then adapts O’Neil & Adams “Batman” # 243-244, up to Batman and Ra’s Duel, without shirts, in the desert.

Again, David Warner impresses like Ra’s Al Ghul in these episodes, but almost no one compared to Christopher Lee. If you told me that man spoke with the voice of God himself, I would believe you. Lee was the rare actor who could make David Warner’s voice with lightness in comparison. Even Batman of Kevin Conroy would seem overshadowed next to Lee, by the way.

Lee didn’t just have a remarkable voice, he also made voice. It should be noted, he played King Haggard in the 1982 dark fairy tale “The Last Unicorn”. As a king, he shame all the other actors of celebrities in this image with his powerful, sometimes frightening and ultimately pathetic villain.

The people of my generation know the most under the name of Saruman of the “Lord of the Rings” or the Count Dooku of the “Star Wars” prequelles. In the 1990s, when “Batman” was manufactured, however, he was best known for having played in Horror Pictures by Hammer Films. Lee’s point of view on Dracula is particularly high; He is one of the most frightening and quieter DraculasWith the British gentleman of Lee, barely hiding the beast inside.

Ra’s al Ghul is a bad guy quite similar to Dracula (and not only because they both fought Batman). They are both of former warriors have made immortal, and they share a penchant for the outfits of high passes. RA generally lives in mountain fortresses like Dracula’s castle, and the two characters transmit a feeling of powerful and foreign to come to invade. Likewise, Lee had also played Fu Manchu in several films, and it is another villain often compared to Ra’s Al Ghul (Orientalism and everything).

Lee died in 2015 without ever playing Ra’s Al Ghul or working with Andrea Romano. However, for comics “Batman ’66 meeting Wonder Woman ’77,” The cover artist Mike Allred Drew Ra’s Al Ghul as Christopher Lee:

After all, if Ra’s Al Ghul had made his debut five years earlier, the natural choice to play the “Special Guest Guest” of the television series “Batman” live from the 1960s would have been Lee. The show obtained Vincent Price to play Egghead, so they could also have obtained Christopher Lee.

Sir Christopher Lee may not be literally immortal like Ra’s Al Ghul, but his heritage as an actor is certainly. He even looms on the roles he has not played.
