HISTORY

Daughter and (until recently) heir of Ra's al Ghul, Talia is an extremely beautiful woman, and an even more deadly opponent. She has always been attracted to 'the Detective', Batman, whom she has saved from her father's schemes many times. Ra's has understood, and to a degree accepted her insubordination, but when she intervened in a recent plan against the JLA, it was one time too many and a deep rift was driven between them. Talia then worked as the head of Lexcorp while its usual CEO leads the nation. In this role she was ambitious and determined, yet also did her best to expose Lexcorp for the many environmental crimes it commits. Later, she encountered Nyssa and came to believe that she, rather than her father, should command her loyalty.
