Speaking with
Movie Web, actress Teresa Palmer, who recently appeared in
The Sorcerer's Apprentice and was attached to George Miller's now-delayed
Justice League of America movie, revealed that she remains interested in her
JLA role, Talia Al Ghul—but in Chris Nolan's long awaited
Dark Knight Rises.
While Talia Al Ghul has only been speculated for
TDKR since contenders for two unknown female roles, one of which is said to be a villain were revealed, Palmer says:
"I've definitely put the feelers out there with my agents and that would be something I would be really glad to have happen. I doubt I would be one of the actresses high up on Nolan's list. I think they are definitely going after woman with a much bigger profile than [mine]."
"I was going to do it with a Russian accent in Justice League of America and I was fitted for all the outfits. It is the longest shot in history for sure but I've put my name out there with my agents and things. So we'll see who ends up doing that role. My managers made the phone calls but I'm pretty sure that they will end up going with a big name girl."
In the comics, Talia al Ghul was the mother of Batman's son, Damien, and the daughter of his archenemy, Ra's al Ghul. Being that Ra's was the main villain in
Batman Begins, portrayed by Liam Neeson, it's plausible that Chris Nolan would introduce Talia in the the final installment for the Caped Crusader. What do you think?
