Victoria “Vicki” Vale is a socialite / tabloid journalist / television personality best known for being a sometime love interest for Bruce Wayne. She was originally modelled on a young Marilyn Monroe, but in the modern era is most usually depicted as a standard curvaceous redhead. She was introduced as a Bat counterpart for Superman’s Lois Lane. Unlike Miss Lane however, Vicki Vale is much more persistent in trying to prove the connection between Bruce Wayne and Batman, leading to many outlandish efforts by the Batman family to keep her at bay.
