MOVIE NEWS – Nearly 13 years after The Dark Knight Rises hit theaters, Christopher Nolan’s superhero trilogy remains a high-water mark for the genre. However, that doesn’t mean it’s flawless. The third film features moments that are unintentionally amusing—or even downright awkward. One of the most infamous? Talia al Ghul’s death scene.

Marion Cotillard’s character meets her end after an intense chase, yet the way she dies has been widely mocked for its unnatural execution. The French actress is well aware of the criticism and recently addressed it in an interview, openly admitting: “I couldn’t find the right position or the right way to do it. I was nervous. Sometimes you just mess up. And in this case, I ruined it.”

But was it entirely her fault? While many fans laugh at the moment—“This is exactly how I looked when I faked being sick to skip school.”—others believe that the fact this take made it into the final cut suggests that Nolan himself may have been exhausted with the trilogy by that point. Regardless, one thing is clear: Talia’s death felt unnatural, robbing the scene of the emotional weight it was supposed to carry.

This isn’t the first time Cotillard has commented on this infamous moment. Back in 2016, in an interview with AlloCiné, she expressed her frustration: “Sometimes things just go wrong, and when you see it on screen, you think, ‘Why? Why didn’t they take that shot out of the final cut?’ I watch it, and it makes me uncomfortable knowing this is what people remember me for.”

Of course, Cotillard’s career is much bigger than a single awkward scene. She has delivered outstanding performances in films like Nolan’s Inception and Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. Most fans will remember her for her impressive work rather than this widely mocked moment. If you want to revisit The Dark Knight Rises, it’s available to stream on Max. “Get ready, my father’s work is done.”
