VALE OF ILLUSION



This isn't quite the same as my adventure-heroine postings, but the pic is interesting in that it shows Vicky Vale gloating to herself about how she's uncovered the secret of Batman's ID and how she's going to expose him for the sake of a scoop. This despite the Bat's value to crime prevention, his having saved her life a few times, etc.

Vicky may've been designed as Batman's version of Lois Lane, but somehow I thought the creators gave her an almost *sadistic* air when it came to her indirect torments of Batman, far beyond any of Lois Lane's shenanigans.
