This really, really bugs me as it is the fifth DC Collectibles product that I have had problems with since May 2012, right around when they first started releasing product under the name of DC Collectibles. Unfortunately, while Talia was one of my most anticipated action figures of the year, poor quality control has reared it's ugly head: my Talia had a broken knee joint out of the package and her right arm fell off at the shoulder shortly after. It's probably my favorite Batman line ever. In terms of the number of characters released, DC Collectibles (formerly DC Direct) has done a great job with their Arkham Asylum/ Arkham City lines. The Arkham City Talia al Ghul was certainly one of my most anticipated action figures of this year as there aren't a great many prominent Batman characters who haven't appeared in the 6-7 inch scale. I promise, I'll get to the figure after the break.įor being such a prominent DC Comics character, a love interest of Batman, and the mother of Damien Wayne, it seems highly illogical that the only action figure of Talia available until this release was in a 2001 4-pack from the 4.5 inch Batman line by Hasbro (the Shadows of Gotham boxed set). Hugo Strange's plot to violently wipe out the criminal element of Gotham City. In the video game Batman: Arkham City, Talia (voiced by Stana Katic of ABC's Castle) plays a significant role in her father and Dr. It has long been established that Batman and Talia both have an affection for each other despite their differing philosophies towards crime and killing. While Talia is certainly not part of the "Bat-family," she isn't quite a traditional villain, either. Created by Dennis O'Neil and Bob Brown, Talia has proven over and over again to be an interesting and unique part of Batman's life. The original character was created by Dennis O'Neil and Bob Brown and first appeared in Detective Comics #411.Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Ra's al Ghul and Melisande, first appeared in Detective Comics #411 back in 1971.
