Meet The Small Screen 'Ra's al Ghul' In A Clip From Last Night's Episode Of ARROW
"Oliver Queen courts war with us..." The final moments of last night's Arrow saw the small screen debut of Ra's al Ghul (Riddick's Matt Nable), and in case you missed it, it can be watched right here! How does it differ to the comics and Batman Begins? Quite a bit!
The first few episodes of Arrow have revolved around [WARNING: Spoilers Ahead] the murder of Sara Lance, but the third season finally seems to be coming together in a more cohesive direction with the debut of this year's big bad, Ra's al Ghul. Last night's episode saw the iconic Batman villain make his small screen debut and he can be seen in the video below. There are similarities to the comic books for sure, and very few with Batman Begins from what we can see here, but the Arrow team have definitely come up with something slightly different from the looks of things.
NYSSA RETURNS TO STARLING CITY, RA’S AL GHUL MAKES HIS ENTRANCE — A furious Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law) confronts Oliver (Stephen Amell) about Sara. When Oliver learns Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) is alive, he suspects Merlyn killed Sara. Oliver and Nyssa join forces and go after the Dark Archer, intent on bringing Sara’s killer to justice. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) keeps her distance from Nyssa, as she blames her sister’s death on her involvement with the League of Assassins. Meanwhile, Oliver and Roy (Colton Haynes) work on repairing their respective relationships with Thea (Willa Holland), who has returned home. Nyssa discusses Oliver with her father, Ra’s al Ghul (Matt Nable). John Behring directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Marc Guggenheim.
