According to a new report, Vicki Vale will be headed to Gotham this fall. TV Line has confirmed that the show is seeking to add the reporter in a recurring role for the show's third season. TV Line's previous report had the description for the character as follows: "There’s also the recurring role of an ambitious young journalist named “Valerie” — which we’d like to think is casting-call code for Vicki Vale, though her late-20s age range makes her markedly older than Master Bruce."
Vicki Vale is well-known for being a reporter in the comics, along with a love interest for Bruce Wayne, though a romance is probably out of the question, as it seems that the show will once again be taking liberties with the character's ages. Vale's presence on Gotham will mark the first live-action appearance of the character since Tim Burton's Batman in 1989.
In addition to adding Vicki Vale to the growing list of recognizable characters, the show is also looking to cast a villain who "learns people’s secrets and manipulates them to do his bidding" and a young villainess "who uses her sexuality to entrap men." Do those descriptions ring any bells for you? Sound off below!
