PLOT:
After delivering the female assassins to Arkham, Nightwing and Alfred prepare to make the trek to Lahasa, Ra's al Ghul's encampment. Before they can board the jet however they are attacked by Ubu and several ninjas.
Already just outside of Ra's base in Lahasa, Batman, I-Ching and Talia encounter a similar problem. After dispatching the ninjas, Batman uses echo location to find the hidden entrance to Ra's base.
Inside, Damian and Tim are being delivered to Ra's. The two boys fake being
unconscious long enough before making an attempt at a surprise attack. In the end, Damian runs away leaving Tim to fend for himself. But instead of a fight, Ra's offers Tim
sweets and beautiful women to try and coax him into allowing Ra's to transfer his soul into Tim's body. When that fails, Ra's plays towards Tim's of abandonment mentioning the loss of his father and Batman's inevitable choice of his blood related son over Tim.
In the end however, Ra's fails to convince Tim and as such, Tim is knocked
unconscious. Ninjas retrieve Damian and bring him back just in time for Bruce to arrive.
Challenging Bruce to a swordfight, Ra's displays that his rotting corpse of a body is impervious to pain. He claims that he and the Detective should be working together to stop the greater threat of The Sensei.
Seeing the unconscious bodies of Tim and Damian laying before him, Bruce offers his own body as a vessel for Ra's life-force. The Demon's Head refuses and
instead says that Batman must choose between his sons.
Which son will Batman choose for Ra's to posses and force out of existence?
