Arkham City Bio
Investigative reporter Vicki Vale got her start at the Gotham Gazette, where she quickly rose to fame for her unwavering commitment to rooting out the ugly truths behind Gotham's corruption and poverty.
Focusing more and more on Batman's feats, Vicki has recently turned her attention to the opening of Arkham City.
She'll risk her life and limb to portray the danger this prison city poses to the public, perhaps overly confident that Batman will be there to catcher her when she falls.
Arkham City Story
When Vicki Vale first interviewed Quincy Sharp, just days after the events at Arkham Asylum, she felt that something was wrong. Sharp's later appearance on the Gotham Nightliner show, that she co-hosts, confirmed her suspicions. Convinced that Sharp was not the hero hemade himself out to be, Vale pressed him for answers and he became confused, struggling with the facts.
As she moved in for the journalist kill, she was shocked when Sharp suddenly regained his composure, answering all her questions with authority. It was as if he suddenly spoke with someone else's voice.
Whatever was going on, Vale became even more determined to uncover the truth.
Additional Information
Currently co-anchoring Gotham News' prime time slot, the Gotham Nightliner, with Jack Ryder, Vicki first made a name for herself as a tenacious photojournalist, who would root out stories and wasn't afraid to enter war zones or step on the toes of criminals to get them. More recently she has become known for her coverage of the Batman and his allies as well as her indictment of Quincy Sharp following the Arkham Island incident and the lead up to the opening of Arkham City. Vicki Vale has had an on-off-again relationship with Bruce Wayne for a number of years; everytime they seem to get serious, Wayne pushes her away.
