Ra's al Ghul

Ra's al Ghul (Arabic: رأس الغول Raʾs al-Ġūl; "Ghoul's Head") is a fictional character, a supervillain who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Besides being considered to be one of Batman's greatest enemies, given his high status as a supervillain, Ra's al Ghul has also come into conflict with Superman and other heroes in the DC Universe. He is the son of Sensei, the father of Talia al Ghul, Nyssa Raatko, and Dusan al Ghul, and the grandfather of Damian Wayne. His name in Arabic has been translated in the comics as "The Demon's Head".

Ra's al Ghul has been featured in various media adaptions, most notably Batman: The Animated Series, where he was voiced by David Warner, Batman: Arkham City, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, the films Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises where he was portrayed by actor Liam Neeson, and the TV Series Arrow where he is portrayed by actor Matt Nable.

IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time List ranked Ra's as #7.

Ra's al Ghul, literally translated from the Arabic as Head of the Demon, is an international immortal eco-terrorist and an enemy of Batman. Believing that humanity is a blight on the planet, his extremist environmentalism has led him to seek the destruction of modern society. Born centuries ago, he has sustained his life through usage of restorative Lazarus Pits. These centuries of experience have made him an incredible tactical expert and physical combatant, allowing him to establish the League of Assassins. His daughter Talia al Ghul has been romantically involved with Batman, leading to a child between the two named Damian Wayne. Ra's al Ghul was created by Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams, first appearing in Batman #232. (1971)

Ra©ism

The situation where a piece of data is available (sometimes for free) in some regions of the world and not in others (or if freely available in some regions and have to pay in others) and it's because of copyright holders instead of the government prohibiting it.
Examples of ra©ism include regional locks on video game systems.

Site: "We're sorry, but due to contractual obligations, the example here is not available in your country."
You: "That's just pure ra©ism!"

Oh My Ra

Oh my Ra- as in the Egyptian sun god. Oh my Ra is a term coined by Adam Lambert in his collaboration with Digital Glitter, "Oh my Ra." It can be used as a substitute for "Oh my god", "Ohmigod", or "Oh my gosh". It is a term used by glamberts.

1.Oh my Ra
It's made of gold
How much love can one hold
Oh my Ra

2. Oh my Ra! Daniel texted me!!

3. Oh my Ra! Did you see what she was wearing at the party last night? I didn't even know people still owned wrap- dresses.

Ra's al Ghuled

Taken from the movie "Batman Begins" where Batman does not save Ra's al Ghul, but doesn't kill him either, it is when a teammate in a online game watches you get killed and does nothing to prevent it.

My team would have won the game, but that one guy totally Ra's al Ghuled me.
