Batman “Crashes” Vicki Vale’s Museum Meeting With The Joker

In the moment that first brings the three top-billed performers of 1989’s Batman cast together, photojournalist (and Bruce Wayne’s current flame) Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) is being taunted by the fearsome Joker (Jack Nicholson) at a museum that he and his goons have just defaced. Just then, Batman bursts through the ceiling window, gracefully sticks the landing following his descent, pulls Vale aside, and pulls a portable zipline from his utility belt, and zips away.

The Joker, who could have responded with the typical utterance of villainous fury, instead cannot help but express his admiration for his adversary’s “wonderful toys,” asserting him as a surrogate for the audience in that rare case. A chase then breaks out once Batman gets Vicki Vale into his most wonderful toy of all, the Batmobile, which takes us to one of Michael Keaton’s most badass expressions of hand-to-hand combat.
