Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 69
Avatar
Ra’s al Ghul is back from the dead causing problems. He’s trying to solidify his immortality completely unconcerned with the fact that in 30 billion years the sun will turn red and expand consuming the earth. Which means all immortals on the planet will be extremely uncomfortable for trillions of years until the sun eventually goes supernova. It’s a problem all immortal character tropes never address in their quest to live forever.
Batman teams up with his daughter Talhia al Ghul to stop him. During their escapades it turns out Ra’s al Ghul was tricked and the thing promising immortality is some type of Egyptian zombie. It’s some of the scariest animation you’ll ever see. Not for a children’s program, not for a TV show, its just some scary animation. Some of the best animation in the series and entire DCAU. It completely saves a somewhat weak plot for what’s supposed to be one of Batman’s more epic villains.
