This has to be one of the worst villain deaths in any superhero movie. Batman
More than a decade after its conclusion, the three movies in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy are still widely regarded as some of the best superhero movies in cinema history. Nolan’s approach to Batman was to take the superhero seriously while grounding him in a dark and realistic story about grief, vengeance, and ultimately hope.
In 'The Dark Knight Rises,' Talia al Ghul Dies with a Whimper After a final showdown with Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, Batman finds out that the real villain pulling the strings is none other than Miranda Tate, the woman with whom he had supposedly fallen in love. She reveals her true name as “Talia,” the child of Ra’s al Ghul. In quite a lengthy monologue — something to do with a “slow knife [that] cuts the deepest” — Talia leaves to drive the truck carrying a nuclear bomb.
However, even with an Academy Award which she won for her role as Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, Marion Cotillard couldn’t give Talia the gravitas she deserved. In this scene, the character of Miranda Tate/Talia al Ghul is reduced to a mustache-twirling villain who is all talk but without the maniacal charisma of the Joker nor the menacing presence of Bane.
Talia al Ghul's Father Would be Disappointed Part of the appeal of The Dark Knight Rises was that it would bring the trilogy full circle, taking Bruce Wayne’s journey as Batman back to where it all started in Batman Begins. Marion Cotillard's Miranda Tate/Talia al Ghul plays a significant part in that story. But despite her efforts to finish her father’s plan to destroy Gotham City and Bruce Wayne along with it, Talia’s master plan is deeply flawed and, admittedly, clumsy.
