I Thought About Lifeline With Her Hair Down And Got Killed On The Spot By My Own Heart

Talia: Freedom

JLA #45, Superman: The Man of Steel #120, Detective Comics #750, Batman Chronicles #8, JLA #44, Batman Chronicles #8, Batman #400, Batman Chronicles #8 (yes, again), Detective comics #750

Anyway, just born out of my Talia and Farhad thoughts in Ram V's tec (link)... It's her thesis statement!

🗡️ Her true passion, one which has been twisted and manipulated in many ways, was to save the earth rather than control or destroy it. To protect those who could not protect themselves. Innocent animals slaughtered for sport, trees cut for paper, entire habitats destroyed from human greed. Stuck behind glass walls and poked with sticks, forced to perform for the sick humans who laugh at their suffering. To preserve the lands and culture conquered. To ensure they are never stepped on again.

Her entire life she’s hated the city. The air is thick with grime and smog, the streets littered with filth. The stench of the street and the cars and the noise. The lights the people the killing. It was dreadful. To walk around a city covered head to toe with disease, knowing that it was once beautiful and wild. And yet, she still made time to go to the city anyway. To see her son, her beloved, and the rest of his kin. To make sure they are doing well.

She often imagines what her life could have been like if she had chosen Bruce all those years ago. If the children would’ve liked her more. If she could have ever been happy there. Live quietly as a house wife, perhaps assist in both of the family businesses. She wonders if she took too long to wake up. If it will ever be worth it. If there is still a chance for her in this world at all.

I did the thing :3c

Reference under cut

I think Talia truly loves her father, and I think he loves her too. I think he is terrible, though. He’s a huge abuser, made Talia feel incapable her entire life, manipulated her into feeling beneath him. And with each use of the Lazarus, his mind becomes more and more decayed. His love for his daughter twists and corrupts. He sees her as more of a tool than a child. And she grows to resent this, but still loves him deep down. She wants to help him, but he will never accept the help. So she needs to go off on her own. As someone who kind of knows the position she’s in, it can be extremely hard to latch off of an abusive parent. Especially when you have a deep connection to the concept of family. Talia wants to stay as neutral as she can and play both sides but that physically isn’t possible with the boundaries set up by Bruce. Boundaries that he is absolutely right to put up.

I did not expected all of that good feedback on my WIPs, so thank you all for the nice comments and enjoy the final product  🖤 I had a lot of fun while I was editing, couldn’t decide which is my fav piece-

Talia is Batman's greatest love and you can't tell me otherwise

Yknow Selina and Talia could also bond over their love of animals specifically cats. Talia could show her her various wild cats she has on the sanctuaries she runs, and Selina can show her all the strays she takes in. And whenever Talia sees a stray cat on the street she’ll be like “Oh there goes Sebastian.” Bc she hangs out with Selina and the cats so much yknow? Like she can help fund animal shelters in the city and provide staff that will work 24/7 dawg. It’d be cute idk
