The three find Talia and fly to Nanda Parbat, where Ra's is about to claim Damian's body as his vessel at last.

The monks seal themselves off totally from outsiders. Ra's life is finally preserved by White Ghost, actually his disowned son Dusan. Aboard the jet with Dick, Tim and Alfred, Bruce ruminates on the value of family. In an epilogue, Ra's moves his base of operations to Gotham City. Batman infiltrates Ra's' new headquarters and easily defeats his horde of ninjas and Ra's himself. Batman takes an unconscious Ra's directly to Arkham.
