I Think It Would Be Very Fun If Talia Had A Little Reservation Of Wild Bats And There’s One Particular

weekend warm up of some kind of mother+son secret mission team up but idk how to render it so here's the archived sketch (for now?)

(edit: whoops this was meant to upload on @arkhamochi my bad)

I couldn’t see Talia genuinely loving someone like Pamela. They are both eco terrorists, but Pamela is significantly more drastic in her mission than the LoA is. Plus, I don’t think Pamela would love Talia either. What with the whole hatred for all human life thing. I could see them working together toward a common goal, but not sticking together through the end. Either Pamela would betray Talia (presumedly by trying to kill Batman) or Talia would betray Pamela (by preventing her from fully carrying out her mission.)

I do like to think about interactions between them though! I can definitely see them working together to try and save an endangered species of plant somewhere or maybe drive away some deforesters

A commissioned piece from the awesome and talented @frijolbean!!! It's even more amazing that the image in my head!!! 🤯💖

Go check out their page!!! Their commissions are closed at the moment but when they open back up I definitely recommend them! 😁

Ok, so a little bit about this piece: I love Talia and I think, no I KNOW, she is a Queen. Absolute boss bitch. Any way I really wanted to see a family portrait of her and the only two men in her life that actually matter, her legacy, her sons. A Queen and her heirs.

Disclaimer: I disregard canon because I live in a parallel universe where DC has good writers

Btw Damian has Talia's kind of autism not Bruce's kind of autism

Melisande (Talias mother) to me was a figure of light and love for Talia in her formative years. While her father would train her, the only times he’d ever go easy were when Melisande asked him to. She was an excellent care taker. Soft and warm in contrast to the cold callousness of Ra’s. She who would hold Talia and sing her lullabies, stroke her back and hold her hand. Who could persuade Ra’a to do the best thing when doing the right thing wasn’t possible. Beloved by her people. Her death scarred the family forever. Ra’s pushed harder, his recklessness caused him to use the pits more than he should have, and caused Talia to train relentlessly day and night. It hardened both of them, but Ra’s was already stone to begin with.

I think they’d be a little bit of both! I like to imagine Talia had a public reputation similar to Bruce Wayne and not very many people recognize her or the Al Ghul name. So in public they’re cushy celebrities but in private they are very sweet and very in love ☺️

Yes, I'm nitpicking Talia's characterisation. There are things that I consider in my head canon and things that are canon that I don't consider canon, especially if those certain things are retconned and racially motivated, but that's just me.

TALIA AL GHULLLLL!!!! I LOVE YOUUUU

happy family!

Talia is much more kind and compassionate than people make her out to be. To her people, she is well respected and feared for the right reasons. But she is also a beacon, a helping hand in the darkest times. She does care for innocent lives, at least much more than her father does, and will go out of her way to help HER people. That’s where the issue is. She really only goes out of her way to help people she is in some way even slightly connected to. People in the league, friends of friends, enemies of enemies. She will volunteer among her community, especially when it comes to preserving the land and wildlife.
