But it wasn't a Batman story. I don't recall Batman accepting or even seriously considering Ra's al Ghul's offer. Villains have been used for different heroes all the time in comics. More than that, Ra's is a great villain and one of the strong points of this season's mixed bag. His inclusion was organic given he trained Merlyn in both the comics and in the series.
