Vicki Vale
Vicki Vale is a newspaper reporter that was introduced in the Detective Comics in the 1940s. She was created to mirror Lois Lane in the Superman comics. Vicki often spent her time trying to figure out Batman's identity. She would constantly conclude that Batman and Bruce Wayne were in fact, one person. However, Batman would always trick her into believing Batman is not Bruce Wayne.When the Silver Age of Comics came into play in the 1950s, Vicki was dropped from the comics along with other characters from Batman's Golden Age era. However, she would reappear again in the 1970s in Batman Family #16. She was now a married woman and went by Vicki Vale Powers. This posed as a problem, as the editors did not realize she made an appearance in this issue. Vicki would later reappear in 1982. This time she was not married, but had been living in Europe for years. Her married back story was erased completely because of an editorial error. Now back in Gotham City, Vicki became one of Bruce Wayne's love interest, rivaling Catwoman (Selina Kyle).After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Vicki disappeared from the Batman comics. She eventually returned in the late 80s/early 90s and resumed her role as Bruce's love interest. She has become a TV personality and host of "The Scene" (A TV talk show).
