Well I mean they have to be a good Talia as in you know can act her traits well and be hot that's all she needs no kung fu moves or anything (at least I think Talia doesn't know kung fu)

There is more to Talia then being a martial artist and being hot.

They can just use camera tricks, stunt doubles and training for a good actress with that. They don't need a bad Asian actress.

You really could have used a better Asian actress, though. At least Maggie Q can act and is a great martial artist. She'd be a good Shiva, not Talia.

I don't understand some of the picks. Since Liam Neeson played the Ra's al Ghul that Bruce Wayne/Batman relates to, shouldn't it be an actress that can pass as Liam Neeson's own daughter? I don't understand the Asian actresses as being possibilities. While Neeson is Irish, I certainly don't remember what sort of accent he was using in Batman Begins. But either way, it has to be someone that can pass as Neeson's daughter. Is it possible that his daughter is mixed with what Neeson is and an Asian mother? Sure. But I don't see it. Anyway, my pick is Rachel Weisz.

Well I'm glad with the board's newfound love of screaming "too obvious! look at heath, nolan goes with the oddball casting!" for every casting choice possible, I'm glad there's still room for the utterly typical criteria for Talia as: white and looks like Neeson. :funny:

Unless we're to assume that this version of Ra's is an asexual organism that can create their own offspring, then the choices for Talia should be far greater than some white girl. It's like we suddenly forgot that Ra's was all over the world, and we first saw him in Asia. Don't know about you, but the amount of white girls there are greatly numbered by other ethnicities.

What made the twist work so well in BB is that we didn't expect Ra's to be white. What better way to play on this same presumption, than to go with a non-white Talia? It is certainly not biologically impossible. And given Ra's worldly adventures, it makes sense.

I understand the argument that Ra's can have a non-white daughter. Im aware about about mixed-races. I know there is nothing unrealistic about it and if you guys want an asian or indian or whatever, that's fine with me. I respect your opinions.

But what's up with half the choices being non-white? Are you against white actresses for the role? If yes, were you against Ra's being white?

What I dont get are the asian choices. Neither Liam Neeson or the comic version of Talia are asian.

You've clearly misinterpreted me, because I absolutely do think they should have a resemblance. Why wouldn't I? They ARE directly related, no? :huh:

And you're you reffering to when you say 'oddball'? Keri? Because I dont find her that 'oddball'.
I wasn't really talking about this role in particular, just in general. Everyone seems to latch onto the whole "oddball" train solely because Ledger pulled it off so well.

I understand the argument that Ra's can have a non-white daughter. Im aware about about mixed-races. I know there is nothing unrealistic about it and if you guys want an asian or indian or whatever, that's fine with me. I respect your opinions.

AFAIK the comics haven't stated either of their races. Presumably, it could range from Southeastern European to Middle Eastern, depending on the artist. If liberty could be taken in making Ra's white, I don't see the problem with making Talia asian. The degrees of alteration are about the same, if not less, with Talia.

Zephyr Alexian

10-08-2008, 07:03 PM

Was Catherine Zeta Jones ever mentioned by anyone?
I mentioned her, but she's too old. If she was the same age as she was when the Mask of Zorro came out, the role would suit her unlike any other. She was the epitome of Talia Al Ghul(physically speaking). A lot of similarities in movement and finesse with the character she portrayed in Entrapment also. They're not completely alike, but there are some things that I find remarkably enabling through that one particular performance. Too bad she's too old now.:csad: Michael Douglas is still a very fortunate person.:o

Weisz is a no brainer if at all possible. Jennifer Connelly's not a bad choice either. Still, Weisz can portray exotic better than anyone I've seen in contention except for Rai, but I seriously doubt she would get a role in this film. She hasn't taken on a major Hollywood role yet.

I wish Talia was in the next film, but I seriously doubt it. It's highly unlikely.:(

Talia has never looked very asían to me in the comics. I just find it strange that there are so many asian choices. I can understand the indian or middle-easter suggestion because of the reseblence from the comicbook, but like I said Talia was never asian(to me) and neither was Liam. Im not saying its unrealistic or anything. I just found it strange.

I think both may have won an Oscar if that's you're question. I think weisz has gave up on the whole blockbuster scene. I think i read in empire that after the mummy sequel, she had lost interest in these large production films. Though i am prone to make wild, unsubstantiated comments like this. I would prefer her over Connelly.

I think people have went with asians, including myself, because we have somehow took the fact that Ras appears to us in asia to inexplicable mean his wife was Asian.

I've heard good reviews about Megan Fox's acting ability in her new film, she is athletic and relatively good to look at so maybe she is has a shout of Talia.

Male viewers will probably, once again, find themselves too distracted to notice it, but it looks like she may be able to act as well

To be honest don't think she looks that great either. Has decent reviews on empire and in the metro newspaper, which is pretty much the only sources i go to for film reviews.

I disagree. For one, we don't even know the racial background of Ra's wife in Nolan's continuity.

I doubt that if Eva was his love interest in the movie,we would see those kisses without no emotion as we saw in BB and TDK.
With Katie Holmes(worst choice ever!) and Maggie Gyllenhaal this was impossible for Bale to have any chemistry. Both actresses are nothing sexy in my point of view.

Even though I originally voted for Kate, I must now concur that Eva Green as Talia Al Ghul = win! Despite all this however, I feel its unlikely they can introduce Talia without Ra's returning to the picture. It would be like bringing in Harley without The Joker, it wouldn't feel right.

This I agree with. It's funny because even though she's not my top choice, I suggested her in the Lois thread on the Superman boards a couple of weeks ago, and the only response it got was "not attractive enough."

Is it possible for Talia to be in TDKR?

^I sincerely hope so. No offense to Catwoman fans but I'd rather see a less obvious female character introduced and more importantly one that hasn't been done yet.

Well, one thing that really stood out from Nolan's words is that he said "we'll be introducing some new ones" when talking about characters. That would suggest characters like Black Mask, Hugo Strange, Talia, etc.

Yes...we have many possibilities.
Less The Riddler,Mr Freeze,Joker,Robin...of course.
Let´s speculate and give opinions about Talia too,because she also has good chances to be in the movie,okay? :cwink:

We have been speculating and giving opinions about her all along.

What makes you think she has a good chance exactly? Is it because Ra's was in Begins? Nolan hasn't ever hinted at her.

baleheadbrasil

10-27-2010, 06:49 PM

She has good chances...specially by the fact of her father was in Begins.
It ´s a very good reason.
Cannot be a good reason for you but can be for Nolan...you don´t know!
You think she won´t be in it simply because you don´t want it.
Her chances are real.
And why are so sure that Nolan will use Catwoman?
Everybody thought that The Riddler would be in the movie and you know exactly what happened.
So don´t be so sure that will be Catwoman.
You can have a big deception.
It´s a friend advice. :woot:

You think she won´t be in it simply because you don´t want it.

First of all, I have no objections to her being included. I never stated that I didn't want her. I like Talia.

Secondly, I could say that you think she has a good chance to be in the film simply because you do want her so much.

And why are so sure that Nolan will use Catwoman?

I never said that I was sure of that.

Her chances in B3 are really real,not just because I want her so much...but her chances are the same as Catwoman´s...or more!
The fact of Catwoman being more famous and more popular,it does not mean she has more chances to be in it as many people think.
The Riddler is very popular,(not same as her or Joker,but he is one of the most known characters in Batman´s universe ).
And the fact of many sources pointing to Catwoman,it does not mean she is really in the movie.
Many sources said The Riddler was in and...
Many rumors about a character don´t mean it´s true.
At least I,I only believe in what Nolan says.
The rest is rest!
And if you don´t have any objections to Talia being in the movie,my apologizes but I thought you had .:woot:

Well, Nolan hasn't said a thing about Talia. That's what I've been trying to get at here.

And yeah, I'm not anti-Talia, I'm just saying that you should be as realistic about Talia as you tell everyone else to be about Catwoman. Neither of them have been hinted at, only clamored for.

I have to admit it...

I'm going to be pretty disappointed if Talia Al Ghul IS the female lead in The Dark Knight Rises...

Look, I know all of Batman's villains, because I know the comics, but even I want to see Nolan take on the more mainstream and well-known rogues and see his interpretation of them. While it's a nice added bonus, I don't really care to see Nolan's take on the lesser known villains (Calendar Man, Talia, Croc, etc.) that mainstream audiences don't know. Give them roles, sure, but don't make them the main threat/villain.

Talia, to me, is a packaged deal. Without Ras around, she's not interesting. The dynamic in play is that Batman has the hots for one of his villain's daughter. So as Batman is fighting Ras, he wants Talia's affection. Talia likes Batman too, but won't betray her father. However, in the Nolan universe, Ras is dead. So without Ras around, Talia is not interesting. There's no drama. There's no tension. There's no choices to be made. Ras is dead. And, honestly, Talia coming to Gotham to get revenge against Batman is pretty lame drama. So a pissed off chick comes to Gotham to kill Bats because Bats iced her daddy. Ugh... that's pretty cheap drama, I think.

There's so much more that can be done with Catwoman, not to mention the fact that mainstream audiences know her.

No Riddler. Okay, I can handle that.

If Nolan says, "No Catwoman. It's Talia"... I am gonna yell "WTF" and start to worry about TDKR.

But that's me :)

However, if Liam Neeson announces he's reprising his role as Ras in TDKR, then I won't mind so much. But the chances of that are 0.00000000000...00000...0000.

RustyCage

Not a bad point, Greg.

Catwoman can also play into the character arc for Batman that TDK created, whereas Talia would be kind of random.

so there's a chance that we might get Talia in the third film. how would you guys feel if there was already an established relationship between Bruce and Talia?

there could probably be a few flashbacks of Bruce and Talia back when Bruce was in training. i know there was no mention of Talia in BB, but Bruce was there for a couple of years. i'm sure somewhere during that time he met Talia and formed a bond with her. also, with the scenes we were given in BB there was really no reason for Ra's to bring up Talia seeing as how the scenes involving Bruce and Ra's were mainly focused on Bruce's training and the climax of the movie

I still cannot see Talia being used, she only serves to continue the Ra's storyline. It makes no sense to me why Nolan would now jump back over to film one to continue a story that really doesn't need continuing. Unless Talia can be used in another way that isn't related to Ra's but every story suggestion for her I've heard revolves around Ra's.

Rachel Weisz or Keira Knightley as Talia.

Eva Green also should be in the mix for both Catwoman and or Talia IMO.

Dark Sentinel

11-12-2010, 01:08 AM

I know I may have initially wanted Mitra for Talia, but I am firmly placing myself in favor if Knightley. She's just such a strong actress it's hard to argue. Plus, she's got a really fierce look about her. Perfect fit for Talia in my opinion.

baleheadbrasil

Rachel Weisz or Keira Knightley as Talia would be awesome but Anne Hathaway also would be a great Talia.
And I hope Eva Green be considered too.

I think Lady Shiva is the female villain, Catwoman or Talia Al Ghul could be the love interest/anti-heroine.

The female villain could also be Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn.

Out of the actresses that have been mentioned in recent reports from Deadline and Moviehole, there's really only one that I could see being a convincing Talia: Kiera Knightley. People have been saying that Rachel Weisz would make a good Talia, but, IMO, she's way too old at the age of 40. Weisz could certainly play younger (Bale does), but the real-world factor of her only being 18 years younger IRL (in real life) than Liam Neeson, the man who played her character's father, would be a major detriment to believability.

Agreed. Knightley would work as Talia ahead of Portman and Hathaway.....without a doubt, due to her exotic looks!

Are you guys seriously suggesting that Portman and Knightley have distinct differences in their looks when Knightley was cast in the Star Wars prequels due to her striking resemblance to Portman?

Now I love Lievly, Portman, Hathaway, and Knightley, but none of them look exotic at all. With that said, neither did Neeson, so I don't think an exotic look is make or break for the role.

I am hoping for Portman or Knightley if the younger role is Talia though.:up:

11-12-2010, 06:27 PM

I really think Natalie Portman should play Talia.I would have no trouble with Rachel weisz as
Talia.Keira Knightley while I wouldn't complain about her as Talia would be better as the
Love Intrest.while I like Anne hathaway I think a Villianass role may not be right for her.
If cast Naomi watts should be the Love Intrest but she and Rachel's ages may work against
them.while I don't hate Blake Lively she Is not In the league as the others.She would be
another Katie Holmes.Someone out of their league with the other talent.

So can anyone come up with plot devices for Talia that don't revolve around Ra's or League of Shadows? It's the biggest sticking point I have with the character.

flickchick85

11-12-2010, 06:30 PM

I agree with Majik that aesthetically, Portman and Knightley are practically twins. But I think Knightley has a very different presence than Portman that would make her better-suited for Talia. She seems older, more world-weary, imo.

How is it not believable? Plenty of people have kids when they're 18 and younger. :huh:

On a different note, I don't see anything "exotic" about Keira Knightley. She's too butch to play Talia.
