Joey King played young Talia al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises, but that isn't what most Batman fans will remember about her. What will remember is that before the filmed opened she revealed perhaps the biggest spoiler, that ruined the film's twist. If you need a reminder, the young actress was participating in an interview with My Entertainment World when she let the cat out of the bag.

“I play young Talia al Ghul. I can’t give too much away because I promised Mr. Nolan I wouldn’t say anything. There are too many secrets about the character and the movie.” - Joey King

Hopefully she has learned from the experience. Check out the video below see her tell Jay Leno all about the moment her hair was removed for her role in the film.





The Dark Knight Rises was directed by Christopher Nolan, from a screenplay written by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan. The cast included: Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John "Robin" Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate/Talia al Ghul. The film is now available on DVD and Blu-ray!

Never misses a first comment, never not trolling.

LEVITIKUZ - You've seen her in the TV Spots for Oz you just didn't know it. She is playing China Girl...and wheel chair girl, but mostly the porcelain doll.

I skip between all of the late night shows and caught a glimpse of this.

Best CBM of 2012 hands down...

Hmm . all right so I bet people would be interested to know what I think about the dark Knight rises.

That film was so ill and every aspect of it was awesome. Even just the part where old Talia is talking and she says " I found my father and brought him back to . . . .Terrible vengence" And that chick facial expression acting is excellent.

You want to know about talk show hosts. I you tube a video of Dave Letterman and he had The 3 survivng members of the mighty mighty Led Zeppelin on his show in 2007 I think anyways. He seemed like such an ass You have Elvis, The Beattles, And the Greatest of All time Led Zeppelin. Dave almost seemed disrespectful to John Paul Jones and Jimmy and Robert cleverly and wittily dissed him back. That John Paul F#cking Jones bro. F#ck Dave Letterman. Ok sorry.

But then you tubed the Performance of Rock and Roll from Led Zeppelin from there 2007 reunion and Jimmy Pages busts the guitar solo from song Rock and Roll and he's so f#cking old and crusty and awesome. It was easily one of the top five happiest moments of my life.
But any ways

She was as unimportant in the TDKR scene as she is in OZ as a pudgy lollipop poop.
StrangerX - 3/1/2013, 11:48 AM
last OZ i saw had a lot of man on man action

I can't believe anyone would've actually fallen for that "twist" in TDKR anyway. I mean, did anyone actually watch the film, without reading the spoiler, and think she was a young boy playing Bane as a child? It was so obvious, especially as she actually does have a slight resemblance to Marion Cotillard.
ACira - 3/1/2013, 12:00 PM
Oooooh, I smell flame war!

TDKR was an incredible disappointment in comparison to Christopher Nolan's previous filmography, specifically his previous Batman films.
Matador - 3/1/2013, 12:25 PM
I still prefer Bane's comic book origins over that shit twist Nolan created. Not mention Talia was pretty much a waste of time added to the story.

ReeferInferno - 3/1/2013, 12:29 PM
She was great in like the minute of screen time she got:)

And TDKR while still great is the weakest of the trilogy and dare I say it, Nolan's worst film
SkateandDestroy88 - 3/1/2013, 12:50 PM
Guys I keep trying to tell you this. Get some LSD or mushrooms put yourself in Nolan's Shoes. Watch the the triology. If Heath hadn't passed it would've been a different ballgame. From the right perspective the film is BEST CBM EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAA I 'm right and everyone is wrong and people who don't agree with me are not as intelligent as me. Amerikaaa
SkateandDestroy88 - 3/1/2013, 12:56 PM
The part where he gets some ass from hot Talia but then runs away with Selina. You know she could probably get freaky. Then Alfred sees him at end with Selina and you can almost hear him thinking "but I did bloody tell you."

Lets build some bridges brahs.

To quote some Led Zeppelin " I had a dream, a crazy dream, any thing I wanted to know, any place I needed to go. Hear my song people won't you listen now sing along you don't know what your missing . . . .

Decent movie at best.
Huge let down in general.
Scabsallover - 3/1/2013, 2:11 PM
As much as I like the batman movies, I'm still unsure of how the wheels spin like that.
Nomis1800 - 3/1/2013, 2:14 PM
OMG NOlan's Batman trilogy is a multimasterpiece!!! Nothing, NOTHING gets near them. It's perfect.
PapaMidnight - 3/1/2013, 2:26 PM
King and Temple deserved more time on screen.
soaponapope - 3/1/2013, 3:24 PM
it still bothers me that some web site contributor took advantage of this girl's youth and sort of innocence to get the scoop the way they did
AlexTheKaiser - 3/1/2013, 3:33 PM
TDKR was the best cmb of the week it came out, It was just ok, and for the end of a saga like this one, we expect something more than just ok, I expected to see the greatest comic book movie of all time, maybe one of the greatest films ever made, but no.

We've got moments that surprised me yeah, like the twist with Talia, but it was for the wrong reason, I thought "Nah, Christopher Nolan wouldn't do that, it's too simple, too stupid, it would turn bane into a henchmen again" And guess what he did? He turned Bane into a Henchmen, again, not only that, but a 40something henchmen of a girl half of his age that friendzoned him.

I enjoyed it, but if I knew that the film would be that dissapointing, I would have waited to see it on tv rather than paying for the midnight screening.
