Talia has saved the life of Batman or helped him on numerous occasions. While Batman is uninterested in the criminal empire, he has often demonstrated romantic feelings for Talia. Absent a spouse, Talia was considered as an heir to her father and his organization. Her father, the leader of a worldwide criminal and terrorist empire, considered Batman the man most worthy to marry Talia and become his successor. She is most commonly depicted as a romantic interest for Batman, a villain, or a combination of the two. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #411 (May 1971). The character's creation and depiction was inspired by other works of fiction, such as the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and the Fu Manchu fiction.
