League of Shadows (Earth-1352)

"Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives," Bruce. Crime. Despair. This was not how mankind was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats. Burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance."

- - Ra's al Ghul to Batman

The League of Shadows (Arabic جامعة الظلال) is an ancient assassin order led by Nyssa Raatko and formerly by the immortal Ra's al Ghul, who harnessing the power of the Lazarus Pits was able to live for thousands of years. With bases hidden all through the world, the League of Shadow has the single objective of eradicating the world of criminals and those who feast on the misery and pain of others, wishing to build an utopia for humanity.

History
The League of Shadows was founded by Ra's al Ghul in ancient times with the sole purpose to restore balance in the world by destroying corruption and decadence in humanity, such as criminals and corrupt government officials, which led to injustice and suffering to society. Believing themselves to be the "Guardian Angels" of the human race as judge, jury, and executioner, many events in Earth's history were organized by them, such as the Sacking of Rome, the spread of the Black Death, the Great Fire of London, and subsequently the economic depression at Gotham City, which they widely regarded as the cesspool of human corruption.
