Batman Begins Quick Ra's question

[horsehead]

was it ever cleared up in Liam Neeson was Ra's from the begining or did he take the mantel over?

 

[zer00]

He was always Ra's

"Certainly someone who spends his evenings running about the rooftops of Gotham will not begrudge me dual identities"

 

[Phaser]

I believe Bruce's line pretty much sums it up -

"Or cheap parlor tricks to conceal your true identity...Ra's."
