This secret base of operations was destroyed after Batman's encounter with Ra's and the Lazarus Pit was destroyed as well. Ra's and his men had traveled to Switzerland in order to use one of Ra's Lazarus Pits in his secret hideout on the snowy mountains.īatman tried to capture Ra's and bring him to justice, but Talia convinced Batman that Ra's was dead and after Batman was gone, she activated the machine that was constructed over the Lazarus Pit with a mechanism that placed Ra's in the pool for a few minutes before bringing him back to the surface. By the time Ra's met Batman, his life force was almost depleted and he eventually died. The waters of these Lazarus Pits are green. There are various Lazarus Pits located in the snowy mountains of Switzerland, where Ra's has several secret headquarters. When used to heal or to bring someone back to life, that person is also rendered temporarily insane - although in one instance when it was used for the Joker, the reverse effect occurred (i.e., it temporarily rendered him sane). On one occasion, Ra's exhumed the bodies of Thomas and Martha Wayne, threatening to immerse them in the pit, thus transforming them into undead zombies. Although older bodies may be resurrected, there is no guarantee that they will return in perfect condition.
In addition, it appears to act as a youth restorative sometimes, decreasing the age of a user depending how long they were in the pit, and in many cases, resurrect the dead.įor maximum efficiency, however, someone must be placed in the Lazarus Pit within a relatively short period of time following their death. The chemicals can rejuvenate the sick and the dying (and even the technically deceased as long as they have not yet truly died), but will typically kill a healthy user. For an unknown reason, it bubbles to the surface only at certain key points around the globe, typically at the junction of ley lines. The substance that fills each pit is a chemical blend of unknown composition, seemingly originating from somewhere within the Earth's crust. For several centuries, the Lazarus Pits were used by Ra's al Ghul to prolong his life. This incident led to a series of cruel circumstances for Ra's al Ghul, eventually turning him into the feared "Demon's Head". Although the Lazarus Pit saved the prince's life, it also drove him mad and caused him to kill Ra's al Ghul's wife, Sora. There he discovered the restorative chemical pools while searching for a cure for a dying prince.
The first Lazarus Pit was accidentally discovered by Ra's al Ghul while digging a pit.
