The League of Assassins are an ancient organization consisting of highly trained killers, led by Ra's al Ghul.

Notes
- League of Assassins was created by Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams, first appearing in Strange Adventures #215. However, in the rebooted Prime Earth continuity his first appearance as part of the DC Universe is in Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort's New 52 Red Hood and the Outlaws series.
Trivia
- The League of Assassins bears striking resemblances to the Hashshashin, a medieval Islamic order of trained combatants and assassins, who were also lead by a mysterious "Old Man of the Mountain".
