God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time. Forty-three species of parrot! Nipples for men! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic?

More Ra’s al Ghul
The villainous mastermind known as Ra’s al Ghul (or the Demon’s Head) appeared to have perished in his first encounter with Batman. He had managed to survive yet The Lazarus Pits, that had sustained his youth and vigor for so many centuries, had lost their potency and Ra’s now sought out new means of prolonging his life.
To this extent, Ra’s embarked on a plan to locate the fabled Tomb of Thoth Khepera, a legendary Pharaoh Queen who was believed to possess the key to immortality. Talia al Ghul believed that her father’s quest for this tomb could lead to calamity and she joined forces with Batman to try to stop him.
Talia’s instincts were correct. Thoth Khepera proved to be a demonic entity seeking release. Batman was able to save Ra’s and seal away the entity. In thanks, Ra’s left Batman stranded in the desert.
Ra’s later resurfaced in The City of Metroplois. He stole an ancient artifact, a powerful Shaman’s Staff from an unspecified Native American tribe. Ra’s then tricked Superman to follow him to a secret local and there he used this staff to steal the youth, vigor and power from Superman. Fortunately, Batman had tracked Ra’s activities and he was able to intervene and save Superman’s life.
Ra’s once more appeared to perish in the ensuing battle and it would be many years before the Demon’s Head would again return to threaten the world.
Actor David Warner provided the unmistakable voice of Ra’s al Ghul, with the nemesis first appearing in the forty-fourth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Off Balance.’
