Raising Damian to follow in her footsteps, she trained him to become an assassin of great renown.
Despite her views on familial attachment, believing it was a weakness, Talia wanted Damian to meet his father. Introducing the young Wayne to Bruce, she allowed him to remain in Gotham, so he could study under Batman - since the Dark Knight was a respected adversary of the House of Al Ghul.
However, Talia did not find the decision easy to make and often questioned whether she had done right by her son. She regularly kept tabs on Damian, watching him grow as the hero, Robin.
Eventually meeting with him, Robin saw through her aloof facade, demanding that she tell him the real reason she was in Gotham. However, her response took him aback. The simple question of whether he was happy with the life he chose, with Batman and his allies. Moved by his answer, she expressed her happiness to see him thriving in his new life, even if it meant giving him up.
Talia promised that Damian would see her again, a prospect he was eagerly awaiting.
