In the end of the film "Batman: Beginning" defeated Ra'z Al Gul (Liam Nison), beating on a shot down train towards his death, closes his eyes for a moment and seem to be immersed in meditation. Following this, the train breaks down from the rails and falls from a high height. Obviously, Ra'z Al Gul dies, but some fans have so far considered and an alternative, in which the enemy of Batman remained alive. The fact is that in the comics of R'c Al Gul known to his immortality, which he gained due to the use of the healing pit of Lazarus. However, the Writer David S. Goyer, who worked with Christopher Nolan over the trilogy about the Dark Knight, denied this theory.

We will have to admit that in "Batman: the beginning" of R'c Al Gul died and could not return from non-existence. However, this character still appeared on the screen again in the "Dark Knight: the revival of the legend", but there he appears only in the form of Bruce Wayne hallucination.
