A secret villain in The Dark Knight Rises is confirmed in the weirdest way possible!

http://io9.com/5867112/a-secret-vil...ses-is-confirmed-in-the-weirdest-way-possible

At this point, I think we're all just sort of assuming that Marion Cotillard's character, Wayne Enterprises executive Miranda Tate, is really Talia al Ghul - and certainly, a bunch of set photos have shown her doing things that look less business executive and more international terrorist - but we've yet to have any official confirmation that Talia is even in the movie. Well, we now might have that confirmation from what absolutely has to be the most unlikely place imaginable: a profile of eight-year-old actress Leilah De Meza in an English local newspaper. Her mother is quoted in the piece as saying her daughter was offered the part of "young Talia al Ghul", and here's why they supposedly turned down the role:
"After careful consideration we turned it down as they were insistent that Leilah had to shave all her hair off. We were prepared to have it cut short but not shaved at such a young age. We were concerned how this could have affected Leilah's confidence and general social welfare."
This seems relatively likely to be true, if only because it seems like such a bizarre thing to just make up, though it admittedly wouldn't be the first time an actor and/or their coterie embellished the sorts of roles they were offered but ultimately turned down. Still, working on the assumption that this is legitimate, we can say that Talia is in the movie as a child and her head is apparently shaved. And perhaps she appears opposite Josh Pence's previously announced part, the young Ra's al Ghul. It seems like a reasonable extension to assume that Talia will also show up as an adult, but that can't necessarily be assumed from this. There's also the question of who might have ultimately gotten the part — the only young actress known to be cast in the film is 11-year-old Joey King, though she's a bit older and American, so it's not a perfect fit. Assuming this part is indeed still there, I would guess we just haven't learned who is playing it yet. [The Surrey Comet; big thanks to Ashley for the tip!]
 
haha Leilah De Mezaalso looks like Marion Cotillard. WB and Nolan looked very hard to find a girl who looks like Marion.
 
Ok that oddly fits with apparently Joey King wearing a wig apparently in recent pictures.

I even remember a while back seeing someone post a rumor that a young Talia would have her head shaved as did a young Bane as well. Most laughed it off including me....

What the f.....
 
This could be in line with them both being in a fire...though I had gotten happy thinking this wasn't happening
 
That info was something I had already assumed but still cool nonetheless.
 
Holy crud. This may in fact be true. Check this twitter post that King made:

@JoeyLittleKing Joey King
Would u rather...shave off all the hair on ur head or have a tattoo of a toilet on your arm??
Whoever released that info about the fire that Bane and Talia are involved and both of them being bald because of it might have not been lying. Wow.

I believed this was true anyway but that sounds like confirmation to me :woot:

Could be. Or maybe Ra's had her pose as a male to train in the League?
or to hide her away. I seem to recall that in the graphic novel for BB that she had to be sent away to protect her from Ra's enemies after her mother had been killed.

Maybe young LOS trainees shave their heads Shaolin style...
 
i find it hard to belive that WB would send Herocomplex the photo in the last second before the article goes online. so they are making some things up for attention.
