History
Early life
Her father Ra's al Ghul met Talia's mother, who was of mixed Chinese and Arab descent, at the Woodstock Festival. Talia's mother later died of a drug overdose. This was a retcon of Talia's mother was named Melisande and was murdered by a former servant of Ra's named Qayin.
In her youth, Ra's took her traveling with him around the world. He taught her hand-to-hand combat as well as the use of most conventional weapons, from swords to guns. She helped him in the management of various organizations that he controlled.
Batman
Batman rescued her from Dr. Darkk, apparently the leader of the League of Assassins. It was eventually revealed that the League was just one part of Ra's al Ghul's organization, The Demon, and that Darkk had apparently turned against Ra's after failing in a mission (the usual punishment for this being death). At the end of the story, she shoots and kills Darkk to save Batman's life.
There are reasons to believe that the entire incident with Dr. Darkk was a setup designed to test Batman. These reasons include:
Ra's al Ghul, not Dr. Darkk, is the traditional leader of the League of Assassins.
The members of the League of Assassins are fanatics willing to die at a word from Ra's or Talia.
Talia's acting as a damsel in distress, unfamiliarity with and reluctance to use a gun, and reluctance to kill, are all behaviors completely inconsistent with future characterizations of Talia.
The killing of Dr. Darkk, thus preventing him from being able to talk, is very convenient for Ra's and the League of Assassins.
Dick Grayson (Robin) is kidnapped. Ra's al Ghul enters the Batcave, revealing to Batman that he knows Batman's secret identity and saying that Talia was also kidnapped along with Dick. Batman then goes with Ra's to search for Dick and Talia; in the end, it is revealed that Talia loved Batman and that the entire kidnapping was a setup designed by Ra's as a final test of whether Batman were suitable to marry Talia and to become his heir. Though Batman rejected Ra's offer, he nevertheless returned Talia's feelings.
Talia is often depicted as being torn between devotion for her father and love for Batman. In the years since Talia met Batman, she would repeatedly be torn between loyalty to her father and her love of Batman. However, she has proven an important 'ally' in her way; most prominently, she encouraged Batman to return to Gotham when it was declared a No Man's Land and he had lost his fighting spirit and didn't believe he could save Gotham.She does everything for her so called "Beloved" in the comics, she even slept with Batman.
Son of the Demon
Ra's al Ghul successfully enlisted Batman's aid in defeating a rogue assassin who had murdered his wife. During this story line, Batman married Talia and she became pregnant. Batman was nearly killed protecting Talia from an attack by the assassin's agents. In the end, Talia concluded that she could never keep Batman, as he would be continuously forced to defend her. She faked suffering a miscarriage, and the marriage was dissolved.
In reality, Talia had given birth successfully. The child was left at an orphanage; he was adopted and given the name Ibn al Xu'ffasch. The only clue to the child's heritage was a jewel-encrusted necklace Batman had given to Talia which Talia left with the child.
Bane
Talia entered a brief alliance with Bane, the man who "broke the Bat" and whom Ra's had determined might be suitable as an heir. However, after a short time, she rejected Bane, though her father still wanted her to marry the musclebound assassin. However, when Bane was defeated by Batman soon after, Ra's gave up trying to match him with Talia.
LexCorp
Talia, disillusioned with her father and his plans, left him to run LexCorp for Lex Luthor when Luthor became President of the United States. Although she seemingly supported Luthor, she secretly worked to undermine him, anonymously leaking news of his underhanded dealings to Superman. When the time came for Luthor's downfall, she sold all of LexCorp's assets to the Wayne Foundation.
Death and the Maidens
During his travels in Russia in the 18th century, Ra's al Ghul met a woman by whom he had a daughter named Nyssa. Ra's abandoned Nyssa at a crucial time: she was tortured, and her entire family was killed in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. Seeking vengeance, Nyssa planned to use her considerable wealth and resources to kill Ra's by befriending, kidnapping, and brainwashing Talia, turning her into a weapon to kill Ra's. Nyssa also planned to assassinate Superman with kryptonite bullets she stole from the Batcave.
While Batman was successful in preventing the assassination of Superman, he was unable to stop Nyssa from killing Ra's. This, in turn, was actually part of a greater plan concocted by Ra's, who wanted to ensure that his daughters would realize that he was correct about his perceptions of the world and what needed to be done to it. His wish being that they would come to accept their destinies as his heirs. Realizing and accepting this, Nyssa and Talia became the heads of The Demon (Ra's al Ghul's organization), with Talia disavowing her love for Bruce Wayne as another result of her torture at Nyssa's hands. (Both sisters consider Batman to be their enemy.) However, it is unclear whether Talia was acting fully under her own volition, or if she was under the control of her sister.
The Society
Talia was one of the core members of the Secret Society of Super Villains (the others were Lex Luthor (secretly Alexander Luthor, Jr. in disguise), Black Adam, Doctor Psycho, Deathstroke, and Calculator). This was revealed to be part of one of Nyssa's plans to take over the planet and bring about world peace and equality. Nyssa explained why she and Talia were working with the villains of the Society to Batgirl (Cassandra Cain).
Nyssa failed to recruit Batgirl to her new League of Assassins, and the Society failed to achieve its goals.
One Year Later
With the apparent death of Nyssa at the hands of Cassandra Cain (who had usurped control of The League of Assassins), Talia has become the new Demon's Head. However, the League of Assassins has broken away from her and is under Cassandra Cain's control.
Talia either did not abandon the child (called Damian) or retrieved him from his adoptive parents and let him be partially raised by The League of Assassins. Talia gives him back to Batman, as part of a grand scheme involving ninja man-bats and the kidnapping of the British Prime Minister's wife. Batman is unsure whether this is his son, but he attempts to deal with his spoiled behavior and rotten temper. Damian, lacking the ethics of Tim Drake or Batman, kills a criminal and seemingly Drake.
