70s Talia

By request, for runespoor7, who requested 70s Talia*

From Detective #411, by Dennis O'Neil, Bob Brown and Dick Giordano.

*Or, requested, more specifically: Talia being awesome (70s Talia), I've been told it exists.


I'll leave Talia's level of awesome to the individual, though I think she's much more likable here than she is say, now. And Batman thinks she's pretty awesome, especially the next few stories. (Batman to Talia: "Anything! I owe you my life!")


I do think the story's fun. Batman jumps off a train dressed as an elderly matron! A fight to the death by 'tetsu-bishi' in Gotham's Statue of Liberty Freedom! Prose like: "Flailing Bo-Sticks savagely swarm over the Batman. Battering, breaking... until he hitches forward into the welcome relief of oblivion." And Batman punching a bull in the face!











Batman is momentarily blinded...

Today's Batman would've hauled her in for 2nd Degree Murder... Here, he's all "Yeah, that was fucked up. I know..."

todays Talia wouldn't have cried though

No she would have try to jump Batman afterward, because really that's all she wants to do nowadays.

LOL! I love him saying that. But taggerung's right, she wouldn't have cried today either.

She would of made a comment about him being inferior. Then maybe kick him for threatening batman after the incident with the train.
