Vicki Vale To Appear On Gotham Season 3

In May, TV Line speculated that Vicki Vale was coming to Gotham, and today, they can confirm it.

Several weeks ago, TV Line had some details on several series regulars being added to the third season of Gotham. One recurring role on the casting call was described as an “ambitious young journalist” in her “late-20s.” At that age, we can assume she won’t be a love interest for Master Bruce as she has been in the comics and Tim Burton’s 1989 film.

Back in 2012, we ranked Vale as the third-best comic book journalist of all-time. Here’s why:

Very few people have been able to connect the dots and figure out just who exactly Batman really is, but Vicki Vale is one of those people.The character has had a strange history in terms of appearances.She was an often-used character through much of the Golden Age stories of Batman, but she was absent for the Silver Age, making only a handful of Bronze Age appearances before coming back full force in the late 1980s (with Kim Basinger’s role in the 1989 Batman movie largely to thank for that).Vale lands on this list due to her tenacity and her intellect.In the pre-new 52 universe, Vale connected the dots and finally cracked the secret of Batman/Bruce Wayne.She even figured out the secret identities of Nightwing and Batgirl Barbara Gordon!Over the years though, she’s faced down the likes of Catwoman herself, saved herself from Ra’s al Ghul, and has stood her ground even when being told she was dead wrong about something when indeed she was not. She was also a key reporter in the events of “Battle for the Cowl.”Vicki Vale is definitely not a reporter to underestimate!

Additionally, Vale appeared in the Batman: Arkham series of video games. She’s an investigative reporter for the Gotham City Gazette, who is fearlessly dedicated to rooting out the ugly truths behind the city’s corruption and poverty.
