Summary
When Ra’s al Ghul finally decides that patience has failed him, he stops treating the Batfamily like a series of problems and starts treating them like what they truly are: the center of a global power structure Bruce Wayne built by accident and held together through love, terror, and impossible competence.
Bruce was supposed to come crawling back to the League years ago. Instead, he became Batman, rejected Ra’s, and somehow turned himself from one furious orphan into the head of a shadow dynasty. Around him grew a family, allies, legacies, side-families, and entire heroic systems that all, in one way or another, traced back to Bruce and the children he gathered.
Ra’s understands, finally, that this “little rebellion” has become an empire.
So he plans accordingly.
