Villains Month continues to cut a swath of terror throughout the DC Universe this month, and now we’ve got a sneak preview of something wicked this way coming to a Gotham City near you. The World’s Greatest Detective goes toe to toe with his most intellectually menacing and most-portrayed-by-Liam Neeson nemesis, Ra’s Al Ghul and his nefarious League of Assassins. In this preview, we get a taste of just how old Ra’s really is in a sequence ripped straight from the Crusades. Where’s the History Channel special on this, huh?

So, without further ado, check out this exclusive preview of DC’s Batman and Robin #23.3 – Ra’s Al Ghul and the League of Assassins by James Tynion IV and Jorge Lucas:
