Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

34. Talia Al Ghul

Like Catwoman, Talia al Ghul isn't exactly a villain in the traditional sense. She does seem to genuinely care about Batman - but at the same time, she knows his secret identity, and as the daughter of the demon, she could sure do some damage with that knowledge if she wanted to.

She appears in Batman: Arkham City, in the League of Assassins' secret base of Wonder City. Overseeing Batman's trials along with her father, Ra's, Talia expresses disappointment when her former lover refuses to become the new Demon's Head.

Later, she fools the Joker into thinking she can offer him immortality, activating a tracker so Batman can follow them to the Monarch Theatre. When Joker is revealed to be an imposter, however, Talia is suddenly shot by the real Joker from a balcony, dying quickly in Batman's arms.

Arkham Knight shows her sword on display in the GCPD evidence room, demonstrating her legacy in the eyes of the law. But Bruce, as his guilt clearly shows, could never remember Talia al Ghul as a true force of evil.
