This story features the first mention of Ra's Al Ghul, although the man himself does not appear in the story.

Synopsis:
Batman meets a turncoat criminal atop the Statue of Liberty. The informant offers Batman information on Dr. Darrk in exchange for protection. That protection is short-lived as members of the League of Assassins strike and kill the man. Before dying he gives Batman the location of Dr. Darrk.

Batman travels to the orient where he finds Dr. Darrk on the Soom Express. Darrk has prepared a trap and captures Batman. The Caped Crusader is taken to a temple where he is introduced to Talia, the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, a business associate of Darrk's. She is also a prisoner. Batman rescues Talia and captures Darrk. However, when Darrk tries to escape, Talia shoots and kills him.
