A Lazarus Pit was a mysterious vessel that would regenerate and even revive the dead or dying, though with some side effects, most famously bouts of insanity, though other long-term effects include dependency.
Ra's al Ghul lived for over 600 years through the use of Lazarus Pits. In Batman Beyond's future, the process of using the Lazarus Pits has become much safer and, although the pit's restorative powers make Bruce's body more youthful, because of his age in the series he would require multiple doses for the effects to be long-lasting. That is why Bruce reverts back to his elderly state within about a week after using the pit
Background Information
In the DC Comics, Lazarus Pits reversed the status of living beings. Sick or dying humans would be revived if they were placed in a Lazarus Pit, but an already healthy person would normally die.
