Talia al Ghul is one of Batman's many love interests, but she's perhaps the most important one. She's also the daughter of the terrifying Ra's al Ghul and mother to Batman's son Damian Wayne.

In the process, the movie reveals a remixed version of Liam Neeson's Ra's al Ghul ... when he offers Damian the chance to lead this initiative. He didn't even give Talia the opportunity ...

This is especially true for Damian, who has ties to both the heroic Batman and the villainous Ra’s al Ghul. It shows Damian’s maturation that he realizes this life he leads isn’t a healthy one.
