Episode 247: The House of al Ghul (w/ Matt McThorn)

Ra's al Ghul and the members of his family are important figures in the Bat mythos, whether they are related just to Ra's or to Batman himself. This week, Matt McThorn is back to talk about some stories involving the House of al Ghul. We start with Greg Rucka's tale of a post No Man's Land Gotham where Ra's makes a play to (once again) bring the city down, follow it up with a story of a Dark Multiverse world ruled by the Empire of Shadows and the al Ghuls and end with a quirky, and beautifully drawn, one off story of Damian's birthday with his grandpa.
