Hi! Thank you for the awesome blog, I’m a long time reader, first time submitter.

I saw the post about Frank Miller’s Wonder Woman on your blog and thought that these might of interest to someone.

Here’s an article about how Vicki Vale is portrayed in DC Comics’ All-Star Batman and Robin. What I find most interesting are the script notes the writer Frank Miller wrote to Jim Lee (the artist):

image of script notes from Frank Miller to Jim Lee of All Star Batman and Robin #1, that reads: Page Four: 1. Closer - Medium Angle - Vicki continues. She cocks her head, tossing her hair. Detail her BRA. It'll drive them crazy, Jim. Body Shot - Thigh Up - give us an even better angle on the babe. Front on. Walking right at us. She knows what she's got. Make them drool. Ok, Jim, I'm shameless. Let's go with an ASS SHOT. Panties detailed. Balloons from above. She's walking, restless as always. We can't take our eyes off her. Especially since she's got one fine ass. SE(BIG): BZZZZT! 5.1.1 Vicki: What the HELL? 2. Wider - Back View - Vicki moves toward a security monitor at her elevator. Keep our eyes on how good she looks. Something tells me you can pull that off, Jim. Go for a furious gesture. A raised fist, something like that. Nothing vulgar.

And here’s a picture of Vicki Vale from the same album (All-Star Batman and Robin: The Boy Wonder #1), a picture of Vicki Vale after a car accident, and she is about to die.

There’s nothing sexier than broken ribs.

Priorities.

Transcript of script notes for screen readers:

Page Four:

1. Closer - Medium Angle - Vicki continues. She cocks her head, tossing her hair. Detail her BRA. It'll drive them crazy, Jim.

Body Shot - Thigh Up - give us an even better angle on the babe. Front on. Walking right at us. She knows what she's got. Make them drool.

Ok, Jim, I'm shameless. Let's go with an ASS SHOT. Panties detailed. Balloons from above. She's walking, restless as always. We can't take our eyes off her. Especially since she's got one fine ass.

SE(BIG): BZZZZT!

5.1.1 Vicki: What the HELL?

2. Wider - Back View - Vicki moves toward a security monitor at her elevator. Keep our eyes on how good she looks. Something tells me you can pull that off, Jim. Go for a furious gesture. A raised fist, something like that. Nothing vulgar.
