When Batman appeared in the city she was unsure of his intentions and thought he was a criminal. However, her view of Batman was changed when the Dark Knight saved her from the Scarecrow. She would often but heads with her employer who had Vale do reports on Batman that made the Dark Knight look like a criminal. In reality her boss worked for Lew Moxon and later Black Mask.
