For once in my father's life, he tried to do the right thing. A plan he hoped to save the world with. And he was killed for it. So I brought you all here together. To set aside our petty squabbles. Our unfortunate conflicts. And accept this mission. As a favor to me. Ra's al Ghul is gone. But his shadow will live forever with you... The Demon's Shadow. From the darkness, we will strike in a way the world has never seen. Deathstroke. His family. Anyone who has ever worked with him or tries to protect him... Kill them all.
