Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalSympathy: In the Post-Crisis era, Ra's al Ghul already had a TragicVillain backstory but there wasn't much accounting for how he would choose to work for a fickle Sultan and his evil son, engage in reckless horse races with the Prince that injured bystanders (though Ra's did show deep remorse for that), and looked like a twisted madman who enjoyed playing God as soon as he resurrected the Prince ''before'' tragedy ultimately humbled him. In this series, set in the ''Rebirth'' era, it's revealed that Ra's was traveling with his ailing mother and Sora to the Sultan's throne because Ra's felt he had no other choice but to become a court physician and gain the resources to save his mother's life. Ultimately, his mother died (though was resurrected much later) before the tragedy that befell Ra's and Sora but it was because Ra's wanted to save her in the first place that his working for a capricious Sultan and an evil Prince is given more rhyme and reason than before.
