I'm trying to catch up on the entire Morrison run on Batman. Did his run begin with Batman & Son? I'm attempting to pick up the trades to catch up on some of the work before Ra's Al Ghul.

Yes, Batman and Son is where you should begin.
in trades Morrisons run is Batman and Son the follwed by Ressurrection of Ra's al ghuol trade the The Black Glove trade plus Batman R.I.P.
X-Fan Forever
Vol. 1. Batman and Son (665-668, 663-666)
-------- The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul (670-671)
Vol. 2. The Black Glove (667-669, 672-675)
Vol. 3. Batman RIP (676-683)
The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul is skippable.
I just want to echo and emphasize that the Ra's Ah Ghul arc is VERY VERY skippable.
at least read the Morrison issues of resurrection.
also, this is how I define Morrison's run:
Arkham Asylum
Gothic
JLA run
JLA:Earth II
JLA:Ultramarine Corps
52(specifically, week twent-seven)
Batman and Son
Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul
the Black Glove
DCU 0
RIP
Final Crisis
There's a theory I have....that I will warn thee now about as far as spoilers and such.....
SPOILERS
Arkham Asylum was Morrison's initial statement about Batman: this dude is as crazy as his villains...he's a hair-length away from being with them in the asylum...RIP I suspect will end up with Bruce in the asylum....thus fulfilling the cycle/idea promised in Arkham Asylum.
