Good thing the character isn’t a terrorist then. The head of a cult of assassins is not a terrorist. Assassins target specific people for specific reasons, not to create terror.
I thought we were talking about a character that’s the head of a league of assassins, not the actual plot of the movie. You know that the movie didn’t have to have that plot, right? You realize it’s not some sort of requirement to make that specific Batman story, yes?
…What even is your point? In almost every iteration Ra’s al Ghul is trying to destroy Gotham (or Star City in case of CW’s Arrow). He’s absolutely a terrorist.
Please show me that definition. Assassinations are generally not done to cause terror. They are done to achieve more specific political goals (i.e. get the guy in power out of power).
Insulting me won’t make the purpose of assassinations to be about fear.
But sure, let’s go with the second sentence. There were only two sentences in the definition:
Terrorism is intended to coerce or intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.
That is also not what assassinations are usually about. They are usually not about coercion or intimidation. They are about retribution or seizing power.

They want to destroy a city by means of chemical warfare. They’re absolutely terrorist jfc did you even see the movie?

Apart from the many, many, many Batman stories where he isn’t.
He even teams up with Batman sometimes.
Maybe the problem here is you don’t actually read the comics.
Given assassin actions by definition are terror attacks, I’ll disagree with you.
Please show me that definition. Assassinations are generally not done to cause terror. They are done to achieve more specific political goals (i.e. get the guy in power out of power).
So the same definition of terrorism, i.e. specific actions done to further political goals. You’re mad for no reason here
That is not the definition of terrorism… if you believe it is, please show me this definition.
Also, please quote what in specific I said that makes you think I am angry about this.

Terrrorism is the use of violence to cause political change. Not whatever nonsense you were taught in whatever terrible education system produced you.
You’re not going with your own definition. Did you even read it or did you just think I wouldn’t? It starts with this:
The purpose of most assassinations is not about fear.
Read more than the first line, try again, and maybe enroll in a literacy program instead of continuing to exist online.
Insulting me won’t make the purpose of assassinations to be about fear.
But sure, let’s go with the second sentence. There were only two sentences in the definition:
That is also not what assassinations are usually about. They are usually not about coercion or intimidation. They are about retribution or seizing power.
Feel free to insult me on that front too.
