International travel = queue!
As some of you know, I’ve been in the US visiting my best friend/seeing TDKR with her. Today, I’ll be traveling back to England, and since I have to go through Manhattan, go through international security, lose 5 hours of time crossing the Atlantic, go through Heathrow’s increased border security, go through the London tube system, then hop on an overland train back to the...

Still a spoiler?
Given that the film has been out for 11 days, Tumblr is full of spoilers, and even major news networks are regularly spoiling what happens in it, do I still need to put things behind a cut? I feel that I should still put plot details behind a cut until August 20th or so (unless you all think that’s too long), but what I’m wondering is this: Is it really still a spoiler that a certain...

@fyeahlilbitoeverything: Good point. Honest question because I’d like to hear your take on it - had Bane actually been played by a Hispanic actor, do you think everyone would find him so shippable?
@banes-boots: OOC or not, I am honored to receive a word from a member of the Wardrobe. And might I say, you were wonderfully stompy in the film. I wonder if, if Tumblr et al had existed...

The TDKR ship I DON'T get at all
Bane/Blake
This seems rather popular, and it makes absolutely zero sense to me.
It’s because of Inception, isn’t it?

Oh my - the whole ask when I read it back seems really violent and angry :/ I didn’t mean it that way.
It’s okay, I know. :) I’ve seen some people really, really angry (hi, you anons!), so what you said didn’t seem all that mad at all.

To try to make her more “exotic” or some crap, I guess.
Talia has an East Somewhereian accent from Whereveristan, conveniently located in French Siberia. ;)

katebishophawkeye asked: What about Stana Katic as Talia Al Ghul for Arkham City? I fangasmed when I found that out, because it combined two things I love so much: Stana and the Bat-Fam.

ginafollowthewhiterabbit asked: People shipping Bane and Talia make me sick - the whole ship. That is probably because I am such a Bruce/Talia, I will be for a very long time. I loved them getting together, he looked heartbroken and very betrayed by her and I think they made her too one dimensional from what she used to be and she wasn't in any proper combat. I just am happy she was recognised but sad they wrote her the way...

spitting-nickels asked: If you find any of the Bane/Talia fics, PLEASE send them my way. I'm a longtime Batman fan and know why it's squicky, but Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard are crazy gorgeous and their relationship fascinates me in TDKR.

Any requests?
Pictures, scans, questions, comments, things even tangentially related to the al Ghuls (including the TDKR honorary one *cough*) you want me to address because I’m going through my inbox/tags today, and due to some of the material I’ll be posting in the next 24-48 hours, I’m going to need to do things that aren’t likely to piss people off or that will encourage people not...

onlytalia:
The whitewashing of TDKR isn’t what bothers me. What bothers me is constantly seeing pictures of NolanTalia on tumblr with the caption “trust no bitch”.
You think that’s funny, more than likely. But for me? Someone who has invested in the character SO MUCH? No. Not funny.
Talia is a complex and complicated character. And really, it was no different in TDKR. LOOK AT HER...

Some scans from Batman & Son
Love it or hate it, this is the beginning of the Morrison epic that will be ending in another ten issues. Scans do not make up complete scenes. *That* scene is included, unfortunately — once again, what Morrison says and what we see don’t add up. Sorry about that, but I like the art.

New site features *fanfare*
Some of you will have already noticed these, but in case you haven’t or in case you’re new here, I thought I’d put up a notification. On the right-hand side of the blog, there’s now an improved navigation menu. Some of these are still being tweaked, but they’re presentable at the moment.

God there is so much Bane/Talia fic.
why is there so much bane/talia fic now
I’m suspecting it’s people who have seen the movie, but have never read the comics.
Bane/Talia creeps me out, especially considering that Bane nearly raped Talia in the comics.
I’m considering contributing to it later. Sorry? Don’t hate me? 8|

Creepin' on you guys' RPs
Since I see there’s some discussion of Nyssa torturing Talia in DatM, if any of you need to see the whole thing, I scanned the entire scene here.

I’ve come to LOVE you blog. Talia Al Ghul RUNS the DCU it’s just that not everybody realizes it. Anyway I was hoping you would eventually post your thoughts about Talia’s time in Metropolis. I am just recently really getting into the DCU and my friend pointed me towards this Talia period as one of her favorites. She says Talia manipulated Superman, Played...

This post is probably going to say the opposite of what a lot of others are saying, so I’m sorry for any surprises.
Heavy on the spoilers after the cut.

There’s a lot of talk going around about the representation of class warfare in TDKR. Many people feel that, whether intentionally or not, the film depicted the working and the unemployed poor as deranged villains...

czarnyma: I ship Talia/Bane
Me too. I shall explain why via scans.
Once upon a time, this happened:
Not a bad start. Bane saved her from an attack by the Random Chuck Dixon eel later (for those who don’t know, eel attacks crop up from time to time in Dixon’s work):
Bane then got a little presumptuous:
… but Talia, just as she did earlier,...

Talia’s shoes are very nice.
Very good quality. Strong. Brutal.
I think this could be a beautiful friendship.
Fun fact: When I first got on Tumblr, I thought of making an account for Talia’s towel girl, who appears in one panel of Batman & Son, because I think if I were going to be accurately compared to a comic book character, it would be Talia’s towel...
