20 Things You Didn't Know About Batman Forever
5. Bob Kane's Wife Is In It
13 minutes into Tim Burton's Batman, reporter Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl) walks by a cartoonist's desk in the newsroom and mocks a cartoon sketch of Batman in a pin-striped suit. It's a cute in-joke, as the cartoonist is actually creator Bob Kane.
Still respectful of its history, Schumacher included a similar cameo for Kane's wife. She plays Gossip Gerty, the irritating reporter desperate to get a few words from the now-famous Edward Nygma during a gala where he premieres "The Box" - the device that allows him to tap into all Gothamite's brainwaves and, ultimately, uncover who Batman really is. She reprises the role in Batman and Robin.
