	Yeesh who decided turning Talia into a mindless minion would be a good idea? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Greg Rucka. Though in his defense, it's not like Talia was being treated any better by anybody else at the time. He at least had the decency to make it an explicit theme of his story rather than just writing her crappily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know no one is ever really "dead" in comic books, especially the daughter of Ra's al Ghul. To me, Nyssa has some real potential with the whole "Kill the superheroes and humanity will solve their own problems." Nyssa also tried "reprogramming" Cassandra Cain, telling her there was more to "saving the world" than dressing up in a bat costume. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And this, above all, is why I never liked this story, nor the concept of advancing such a character as the replacement for Ra's. (Reply to this)

"We want to replace Ra's al Ghul."
"Okay, how about we have Talia take over her father's operation? Not only does it increase the tension between her and Batman, but it plays on Ra's insistence that Talia bear him a male heir."
"No, let's just make up a whole new character, who is Ra's' older, meaner, smarter daughter who bends Talia to her will and pushes Batman to the edge in her first appearance."
"Yeah, that's better."

Woot! I was afraid someone would miss my requests since I posted them late, but thank you so much! :D

That said...wow...yeah...slashy much? XD; Yeah, WHERE was Damian throughout all this?

In my universe...he was left on an island to learn survival training...for a YEAR...at least for as long as Nyssa was around, or until Talia remembered she had a son. Then, upon their reunion, Damian realized his mom was a little different...to put it mildly (hence his disinterest towards her). XD

You know, it offends me that that here we have more femmeslashing going on in the actual text (sub be damned) than we rabid fangirls with overractive gaydar can read into an issue of World's Finest, which series was written as the gayest gay comic that ever gayed in the first place. Dicriminayshun against straight fangirls!

Also, THERE IS NOTHING in this post which does not CREEP THE FUCK OUT OF ME. It's like surprise hard-core BDSM blood-play death-fetish lesbian incest porn.

	I remember reading this in my library years ago, before I REALLY got into this stuff and art of comics, and even then I saw the Talia at the second to last scan and went "okaaaaaaaay...that's just impossible." I do remember the scenes where Bruce "meets" his parents again being REALLY good, though. Maybe one can scan those? (Reply to this)

	oops. I thought Rucka liked Talia and hated Selina. I hope he stays far away from writing Selina Kyle. She's already had it bad enough in DC as it is. (Reply to this)
