To be perfectly honest I've always been bored by Ra's as a Batman villain. He always struck me as just another boring Evil Mastermind bent on world domination, and is very thematically out of place compared to villains like Joker or Ivy. Even Bane was a more compelling villain in Knightfall, an oversized tyrant who mistakes being a legend and a hero for kingship.

The only time Ra's ever truly lived up to the threat he supposedly posed was the Tower of Babel arc in JLA, where he takes advantage of Batman's paranoia to steal dossiers on the other League members and Batman's plans for taking them down if they ever went bad. Other than that he's been largely uninteresting. Even Darkseid made a big comeback to form with Final Crisis after like 20 years of being a doofy rock-lookin' dude. Ra's has never quite been able to top Tower of Babel.

One of my main problems with Ra's is that he always has the Pit at his disposal, so it's hard to really give a damn about him, his plans, or when he goes up against Batman, because he'll always be able to reset himself by going back into the Pit. It just makes for an incredibly boring character (plus he isn't all that interesting to begin with IMO. Though neither is Talia.)
