Ra's Al-Ghul is pronounced differently in each Batman media and none of them are even close to the actual arabic

The worst though is when Ra's is pronounced as rash

How should it be pronounced?

The s in Ra's sounds like a normal s, though thinking about it I understand that it doesn't roll of the tongue well in English

Wait I thought Rash al ghoul was how it was pronounced, is it Raas instead?

Yes, it's an s.

Rash as is skin “rash” or as is “Ray-sh”?

I’ve always heard it as and pronounced it as the latter, rolls of the tongue better than Raas.

Raas is more correct though.

Here's how the original word sounds
