Biography
Batman: Arkham City
One year after the events of Arkham Asylum, Bruce Wayne is holding a press conference in hopes of exposing Arkham City for what it is, a time bomb. Like Vicki, there were a group of reporters, recording Wayne, as well as co-worker, Jack Ryder. Unfortunately, Hugo Strange is one step ahead and takes advantage of the situation to kidnap Batman as Bruce Wayne and the press and dump them into Arkham City to be torn apart. Unlike Jack Ryder, she escapes the TYGER guards and makes sure she is safe.
After Batman defeats Mr. Freeze , she comes in her helicopter and states that Batman is coming out of the building, and that the mystery caller was right. Joker reveals himself to the reporter by stating that the reporter is going to be down for now. He fires a missle at her helicopter and the helicopter crashes. Joker sends his snipers to take out Vicki Vale, but Batman comes down and takes them out. Vicki, as usual, talks to her viewers, and states everytime Batman takes down a sniper. Vicki also states that her pilot is dead, whether is unknown if he died in the crash or got shot. Batman rescues Vicki and places near the Gotham Casino.
Again, she asks Batman for an interview, but he tells her he doesn't have the time for one. Joker calls him and states that he had nothing to do with the crash, but later laughs, stating he was the one responsible. While wondering who Batman is talking to Vicki sees the Mad Hatter, but Batman believes she is referring to who he was talking to. She is left at Gotham Casino, questioning if arkham city was right for Gotham and why the inmates were being armed with guns and weapons.Ed She questions whether Hugo intented to do this, and wants to talk to both Quincy Sharp and Hugo Strange about this. Around the end of the game, she is questioning Quincy Sharp about the tragic events in Arkham City inside the Gotham Cathedral.
Quotes
- "Thanks for the help back there. Are you sure you got no comment?"
- "C'mon, Batman. There's more going on than meets the eye, right?
- "Any truth to the rumors Joker has poisoned Gotham? What about this place? Do you approve of Professor Strange? C'mon, Batman. Give this girl a break.
- "Do you think the Joker made the call to the network? It must have been him. He got us just where he wanted us."
Trivia
- Much like in Batman (1989), Vicki is blonde in the game, rather than having her usual red hair.
- After the helicopter crash, Batman carries her to safety using his line launcher (in every other such scene he uses the grapple gun). It is most likely a homage to the scene in Batman (1989) where he also uses the launcher to rescue her.
