Vicky Vale Reportedly Confirmed to Be Coming to GOTHAM Season 3
It looks like Gotham is bringing in some interesting new characters including a journalist who you're all familiar with named Vicky Vale. Last month TV Line speculated that Vale would be a part of the series and said:
"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."
The entertainment news outlet has now confirmed that the Valerie character is in fact really Vicky Vale. They said:
"We called it. The ambitious young journalist named “Valerie” that Gotham is set to introduce in Season 3 is, as we predicted, none other than Vicki Vale."
Vicky Vale is a great character, and she was previously portrayed by Kim Basinger in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. She will also be joined by a few other characters. According to the report, producers are looking to cast a villain who "learns people’s secrets and manipulates them to do his bidding" as well as a young villainess "who uses her sexuality to entrap men."
There are no names given for these characters, but the first villain sounds like it could be J. Edgar Hoover, and let's face it, the second one mentioned could be any diabolical woman who would use her sexuality for evil. .
