Talia al Ghul
Talia al Ghul (Arabic: تاليا الغول) is a fictional character, a supervillain in the DC Comics universe. She is the daughter of the supervillain Ra's al Ghul, the half-sister of Nyssa Raatko, a former love interest of superhero Batman, and the mother of Damian Wayne (the fifth Robin). She has appeared in over 200 individual comics issues. Talia has been featured in various adaptations in other media, most notably the 2012 Christopher Nolan film, The Dark Knight Rises, where she was portrayed by Marion Cotillard.
The Talia character was created by writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Bob Brown. The character's creation and depiction was inspired by other works of fiction, such as the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and the Fu Manchu fiction. The character first appeared in Detective Comics # 411 (May 1971). She is most commonly depicted as a romantic interest for Batman, a villain, or a combination of the two. Her father, the leader of a worldwide criminal empire, considered Batman the man most worthy to marry Talia and become his successor. Absent a spouse, Talia was considered as an heir to her father and his organization. While Batman is uninterested in the criminal empire, he has often demonstrated romantic feelings for Talia.
Talia has saved the life of Batman or helped him on numerous occasions. The majority of her criminal acts have been committed at the behest of her father and motivated by loyalty to her father rather than personal gain. She had been depicted as morally ambiguous or an antiheroic figure. Recent depictions have shown her to be more often an enemy of Batman and a supervillainess in her own right, such as leading the League of Assassins, as part of the Secret Society of Super Villains, and as the mastermind behind Leviathan.
IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time List ranked Talia as # 42. She was ranked 25th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.
