10 Best Female Characters In The Batman Universe
5. Talia Al Ghul
Talia Al Ghul isn’t as major a figure in the Batman world as you might expect, given her influence. She’s the mother of Batman’s son Damian, a daughter of Ra’s Al Ghul, one of the few villains to figure out Batman’s true identity.
She’s been around since the seventies, but has never really broke into pop culture the way Batman himself and the top four here have.
Though she’s often an ally of Batman, she’s more of a villain in her own right, and away from the Dark Knight is more often breaking the law than protecting it.
A skilled martial artist, Talia has the brawn to keep up with Batman as well as the brains. Thanks to the Lazarus Pit, she has access to the powers of resurrection and slower ageing.
Frequently torn between her father and Batman - two men who respect each other but remain enemies - she’s featured in some fascinating stories but never enough to grab a substantial foothold.
