I just rewatched the 1989 Batman with my fiance - it's been one of my top 5 films since I was 5, and she's never seen it before - and it just occured to me how contrived the plot is in getting Vicki Vale into the Joker's life.
He sends Bob the Goon to find out what Knox knows about Batman by taking pictures of Knox and Vicki...including an obvious posed pic of Knox...and somehow said photos are sufficient work for Bob to call it a day, even though he found zilch about what Knox knew about Batman...which was zilch anyay! Looney toons, especially since the script could have worked by having the Joker already be a fan of Vicki's war pictures.
Still love the film, mind you!
