Doesn't mean it's not stupid.

He's Egyptian, I'm sorry it's not more Americanized.

It's Arabic

One thing I'm glad they ripped off is how they said Ra's. They pronounced it Raz. Raysh is stupid.

Raz sounds like a sort of candy or 90's soda. Though I can't expect much more from the guy who thinks Windy is better than Windu.

I love the Nolan films where I believe they said it Raz, but the Arkham series says Raysh. Meh, doesn't matter to me, I know who they are talking about regardless. Not a fan of him or Talia tbh.

I'm going to say Ree-ah because it sounds cooler. Ray sounds dumb.

I don't care how Dini says it. Dennis O'Neil says "Raz" and considering he created the character, I tend to side with him. :) Anyway, having Yao Fei be the Demon's Head would be fantastic. So, does that make Shado Talia? I'm very curious to see how all of this goes down. I'm also curious to see what happens to Ollie's mom as it pertains to her court case.

Don't know where you got that from, but Dennis O'Neil says Raysh.

My mistake. It was Neil Adams who called him "Raz".

I think both made him to my knowledge. I still go with Raysh because of Dini's work and from what I understand it is the proper way to pronounce it in Arabic and the person who came up with the idea for the name, as stated in the video, pronounced it Raysh.

You bloody heathens. :CStern

I’ve seen conflicting answers about the proper Arabic way to pronounce it. I’ve seen some people say it’s Raysh, and others say it’s Raz.

I've only heard Raysh, aside from the Nolan movies.

Doing a search I only hear Raysh or it is a "potato/potahto" situation. Never a strict Raz and let's be honest. Never heard a single man say potahto.

I figured it was a potato/potahto situation too. I have no attachment to the pronunciation of Raysh, so as an outsider (so to speak), I personally think that Raz is a more compelling/intimidating way of saying it for a villain. I don't get villainous vibes from Raysh.

For em it is the opposite. It even sounds more threatening. With Raz I get either a candy or Ross from Friends.

You're not nearly cool enough to be an Outsider.

I'm liking where this series is going. I'm looking forward to getting Black Canary's backstory and I'm very curious to see what happens with Moira's trial. Also, I'd like to see more Walter.
