- The League is directly opposed to the legal system, which they view as "corrupt." They are likely the most dangerous foes ever faced by members of the Justice League, especially Batman. The leader of the League is the infamous Ra's al Ghul, who has came into conflict with Batman on numerous occasions.
- "League of Assassins" is the fifth episode of the second season of Arrow, and the twenty-eighth episode overall. It aired on November 6, 2013.
- The League of Assassins (also known as the Society of Shadows, the Society of Assassins, and the League of Shadows) is an international cult-like organization of professional assassins and trained killers that followed their founder and leader, Ra's al Ghul. They are a terrorist group that fight Batman and other DC superheroes from time to time.
- Through the years, the League sought out the best killers in all manner of disciplines, from martial artists to snipers. Every member added to the league gave up their life, sworn to the Demon's Head. Only assassins who have already completed a previous hit can be considered for League membership, and its roster is kept strictly confidential from public eyes.
- The League of Assassins are a bunch of ninjas who are supposedly the world's top-trained killers, despite the fact that they've never killed or even beaten anybody in a single fight ever. Maybe like, an old lady or two. But the second you put a mask on, you're capable of beating them all up at once. And it's okay if they get killed. You can just go get some more of them from Costco. They are the bodyguards of Ra's al Ghul, immortal eco-terrorist, and his daughter Talia who mainly use them when they need somebody to get beaten up by Batman or his lackeys.
- The League of Assassins was founded by Ra's al Ghul (exactly when is unknown) to be "the fang that protects the head" (Batgirl #67, 2005). Members of the League demonstrated willingness to die at a word from Ra's. They have included some of the most dangerous assassins in the world including Lady Shiva, David Cain, and master archer Merlyn. For much of its current history any member to fail in an assassination was in turn targeted by the League (and indeed, one of its best-known members, the master-archer Merlyn was eventually forced to flee from the League, fearing for his life, having failed to assassinate Batman). In more recent years this policy has apparently relaxed somewhat.
