How long do you think until Earth One introduces the Joker and Ra's?

Johns's Bane could actually be really great. Ditto Ra's Al Ghul. Those guys are actually kind of similar to Black Adam/Sinestro.

I just remembered Ras in Arkham City. He wasnt exactly realistic, but they found a neat way to tie him to Gotham's story. Hell, that whole part in old, sunken gotham and on top of the Wonder Tower was probably the best part of the game!

Ra's will serve better then the jOKER in this.

Why do you think that? Much as I like Ra's, I think the Joker may well be the best villain in literature.

For me, there is so much about Ra's which makes him unique, the Joker should come later, perhaps near the end or a teaser at the end, like the Dark knight begins by leaving cards,

I think Ra's is a fantastic villain, particularly for Batman, but in terms of the character's versatility, I don't think he's quite in the same league as the Joker. Ra's share much in common with Marvel's Dr. Doom, in a lot of ways, I think.
