The Dark Knight Rises: Analysis And Ranking Of The Main Characters

Talia al Ghul (Miranda Tate)

"His only crime was that he loved me." That's right, he was doing all this because he was the king of the friendzone. In the end, Bane was a tool used by Talia to fulfill her father's legacy. She was the deception, Bane was the theatrics; both of them together meant a bad day for Batman. In fact, Talia truly did take her deception seriously as she revealed herself at the very last minute when there just wasn't enough time. She trivialized Bane and then herself as she died a few scenes later. Not only that, but she died so...stupidly. Are we really to believe she was the mastermind behind the whole movie? After so much build up with Bane, he was killed off as if he was Prisoner #7. He was only acting for love? Are we supposed to feel sorry for him as he stares at the screen with puppy dog eyes? Bane was suddenly humanized - negatively - and only saved his character as he attempted to kill Batman. Wait, this section is about Talia...but let's go back to her alter ego of Miranda Tate. Tate's role in the entire movie was suspiciously useless, but would have actually been more effective if left alone. Other than her random scene sleeping with Wayne, she had a minor part in securing the safety of Gotham and it was somewhat believable, but Talia wasn't needed unless she revealed herself much earlier. If she was given scenes where she worked with Bane instead of undermining him, the story would have unfolded more gloriously. She was the prime example of trying to fit in too many ideas at once.
