Batman Scene 17 Summary

  • Vicki calls Knox and tells him she has a hot story for the evening edition.
  • See, in the 1980's, some papers had two editions (or two more than they have today).
  • The news exposes Joker's cosmetics plan, rendering it useless, and Gotham safe again.
  • In the Bat Cave, Alfred warns Bruce that Vicki Vale will find out his true identity eventually. She's too smart for him.
  • Alfred suggest he tell Vicki the truth.
  • Let's see how that goes.
  • Bruce visits Vicki at her house.
  • He brings flowers, but that's not enough to make up for being such a jerk.
  • She's mad that he lied about leaving town.
  • To prove he's a nice guy, he shoves her into a chair and tells her to shut up.
  • He has something to tell her: he's Batman.
  • But before he can tell her, she gets an unexpected visitor: Joker.
  • Bruce hides, like a gentleman, while Joker grabs Vicki and drags her away.
  • Joker says that "Sugar Bumps" jumped out a window.
  • He seems to want to replace her with Vicki.
  • Bruce reveals himself and approaches Joker, telling him, "I know who you are."
  • Bruce takes a fire poker and does his best over-the-top Beetlejuice impersonation, screaming like a maniac at Joker.
  • Joker responds "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" then he shoots Bruce.
  • Vicki screams.
  • Joker dances from the apartment, and when Vicki rushes to Bruce's side, she finds that he's gone.
  • He used a silver tray to block the bullet.
  • She finds a box on her table and opens it.
  • A mannequin hand pops out holding wilted flowers, and Vicki faints as if this is the worst thing she's ever seen.
