Arrow Should Ra's Be Middle Eastern or East Asian?

[godisawesome]

Would be cool in Faran Tahir got the role.Ollie and Ray are in a meeting.Ra's walks in: "The bow and arrow..."t:

...Not gonna lie, that would be straight up legit. And it would set up so many fun jokes about how Ra's was Thor's commander in Starfleet.

I can't help but wonder if they'll pull a bait-n-switch and have Nyssa be the real Ra's Al Ghul, and have whoever seems to be Ra's just be a decoy.

I don't think they ever even considered that.

Taiwanese IS Chinese.

Ra's ought to be Middle Eastern, and they seem to have been playing that angle for the League. As far as Nanda Parbat, Arabs have long spread throughout the Silk Road. So that shouldnt necessarily be an issue at all. And the League is arguably somewhat modelled after the legends of the Ismaili Assassins, who had fortresses from Syria to Persia, and their descendents settled in India. There are Ismaili Turkomen in Xinjiang province, China.

Ah. Brain fart.

I would love to see a portrayal of Ra's that is very similar to his portrayal in Batman: The Animated Series.

Sophisticated, Divine, Righteous. Ever the match of The Detective.

Dont worry they get most of their ideas from internet forums.

Taiwanese IS Chinese.

More precisely, both countries are majority ethnic Han. Chinese isn't really a race, but Han is.
