They escaped when Batman held her up and fired a Foefie Gauntlet, creating a zipline toward the primary entrance. The pair fled the scene in the Dark Knight'southward armored motorcar while Joker's Goons chased after them in two of their custom junkers.

Escaping in the Batmobile

Vicki rescued past Batman at the Flugelheim Museum from the Joker.

During the ensuing fight between Batman and the Joker's henchmen, Vicki took pictures of Batman with her camera and put the film in her bra. Later, Batman took her to his underground lair where he gave her data for the press about the Joker'south Smylex, which were chemically altered cosmetic products that caused the consumers to laugh hysterically until death, where they were left with ghastly grins on their faces. Equally Batman explained that to her, Vicki again tried to get a closer look at his face, merely he managed to avoid letting her get too good a glimpse. Vicki realized that Batman could have sent the information about Smylex to the printing himself and suspected that there was something else that he wanted. When she asked Batman about that, he admitted that she was right; however, there was something else that he wanted. When Vicki asked what that was, Batman pulled her into an embrace and sedated her with sleeping gas, which caused her to fall unconscious. Vicki awoke the next morn in her bed at her flat. After she felt her chest, Vicki realized that Batman had taken the film, to destroy the photo of him taken while unmasked.

Later, Bruce tried to reconcile with Vicki at her flat, having decided to tell her the truth about his dual life; however, the Joker arrived and fabricated the same remark of "Squeamish identify y'all got here. Lots of space" (which Bruce had said a few moments earlier). When Bruce and the Joker met, Bruce told him well-nigh "a guy named Jack: mean kid, bad seed, hurt people", to which the Joker replied with "I similar him already". When Bruce tried to fight him, the Joker pulled out a gun and asked if he'd ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight; when Bruce asked what he meant, the Joker explained, "I always ask that of all my prey" before shrugging a little and calculation "I just like the audio of it".

With that, he shot Bruce while Vicki screamed (just to be silenced by Bob). Later the Joker told Bruce "Never rub another man's rhubarb" and laughed, he then turned to Vicki and his smile turned to a frown before he told her to "chin up". He and then reached over and grabbed Vicki'due south wrist (thus pulling her out of Bob's grip) while asking why it was that every time he came for her, someone e'er got in the mode, and and then released her.

Later on the Joker left Vicki discovered that Bruce had blocked the bullet by using a decorative silver tray. She eventually learned of the alley where Bruce went earlier: It was the site of his parents' murder. Every bit Knox showed and discussed archives from the World, she had a sudden realization of Bruce'due south clandestine.

Confronting Bruce in the Batcave

Vicki convinced Alfred to let her see Bruce while working in the cave, with the hopes that she could convince Bruce that he didn't demand to be Batman. They both admitted that they did love each other, before Bruce inverse into the black armor, took off in the armored car once again, and destroyed the Joker'south hideout: Axis Chemicals.

200th Anniversary Parade

During that time, the Joker began to attract Gotham'south citizens to Gotham's 200th Anniversary Parade, with promises of millions of dollars in cash. Vicki and Alexander arrived to investigate, she immediately began to document it with her camera. However, Joker used that opportunity to release Smylex, in his balloons, which would poison and impale everyone in about Gotham Square.

Vicki witnessed Batman use the Batwing to safely accept the balloons from the surface area and then a vengeful Joker shooting the Batwing down onto the steps of the erstwhile cathedral. Vicki raced to the crash sight, only could non find Batman. The Joker and so took Vicki hostage and forced her at gunpoint to climb to the meridian of the cathedral, while he followed closely behind her. Every bit they climbed the stairs, Joker forced Vicki to leave behind her high heels and trench-coat peradventure to lure Batman. When they reached the top Vicki watched helplessly, equally Joker used his Acid Flower to disconnect one of the cathedral'south bells which and then fell to the ground beneath and blocked the just entrance to the stairs then they wouldn't be followed, merely Batman was already in hot pursuit.

Skirmish of Gotham Cathedral

Post-obit the trail of Vicki's discarded coat and shoes and narrowly avoiding the falling bell, Batman eventually reached the top. Vicki by this time had been forced to dance the waltz with Joker on the balustrade and he had sent three of his goons to make sure Batman didn't interfere. Batman nonetheless fought off them all. Vicki eventually saw an opportunity to distract the Joker, and went for it by using her feminine wiles in club to "seduce" him then she could buy some fourth dimension for Batman.

As they both looked over to see if Joker had survived, the Clown Prince of Crime pulled both Batman and Vicki off of the Gotham Cathedral ledge. As they barely hung on, the Joker insanely taunted them. He offered to give Vicki a paw support, but it turned out to be a gag with a detachable joke hand which made Vicki scream with fright and on the verge of falling, but was chop-chop hoisted back up by Batman.

Vicki and then gave a sigh of relief and they both reached the footing safely.

Bruce mentioned that he recently dated a woman called "Vicki", to which Selina cheekily inquired: "ice skater or stewardess?". When Bruce confirmed that he and Vicki had concluded their relationship because Vicki could not deal with Bruce'south "difficulty with duality", Selina, who faced a like dilemma, saw a kindred spirit in Bruce and began a romantic relationship with him.

This ended upward beingness one of many scenes existence dropped prior to filming. Producer Chris Kenny felt the option of Kim Basinger at the last minute was mostly due to availability on the 2005 DVD.

Trivia

The controversial scene where Vicki is immune to enter the Batcave originally took identify in Bruce's study. It was Michael Keaton's idea to accept Bruce confronted in the Batcave, believing the discussion taking identify in the study lacked dramatic impact.^[one] The determination was met with a widely negative reaction from fans, nearly of which opined that Bruce would have fired Alfred for letting her into the Batcave without consulting him first. This was referenced in Batman Returns, where Bruce criticises Alfred for speaking well-nigh security concerning Batman'southward surreptitious identity when it was he himself who let Vicki inside the Batcave.
In the script, the first time that we saw Smylex'south outcome (chosen Smylenol in the script) was on the two female models, who were only represented as cardboard cut-outs in Joker's commercial. The original scene had them in a swimsuit photo shoot with Vale, who urged them to smile more equally she snapped away. The girls began to giggle, which initially pleased the lensman; but and so, their giggles became laughter, and then uncontrollable helpless hysterics, which had the lensman going from mild annoyance to complete horror as the exhausted girls expired from forced hilarity, with the ghastly Joker-like grins that were frozen on their faces. The Warren Skaaren script had an art managing director graphic symbol named Tony exchanging dialogue with Vicki. Information technology is unknown if any version of this scene was shot. This as well appears in novelization.

Tim Burton suggested replacing Sean Young with Michelle Pfeiffer but Keaton, who had been in a relationship with Pfeiffer, believed that information technology would take been too awkward. Pfeiffer went on to portray Catwoman in Batman Returns.
Sam Hamm'southward Batman Two script was intended to be a directly sequel to the previous motion picture. Equally a result, subplots and continuity from the first moving picture that would have been addressed included Bruce proposing to Vicki at the cease.
Her character arc is strikingly similar to that of Rachel Dawes from the Dark Knight Trilogy, specifically, Batman Begins. Both get involved in an attempt, with Batman, to jeopardize the activities of an adversary (The Joker in Batman; Carmine Falcone in Batman Begins), and various attempts are made to finish them but all of them ultimately fail.
