8. Hi, I’m Bruce Wayne

There was a party at Bruce Wayne’s mansion and everybody from the police commissioner to the mayor were there. With such a major event going on, it would only make sense that Alexander Knox and Vicki Vale would be there to represent the paper. Vale and Knox are wandering through Bruce’s mansion and come across a room with a bunch of random items from around the world. They start asking about one of them and Bruce steps in and says it’s from Japan. When Knox asks how he knows he says because he bought it in Japan.

Why it makes the list

This scene was funny from beginning to end. Knox was still trying his best to flirt with Vicki Vale and she continued to ignore him. Nonetheless, he was funny. Calling the armor, “King of the Wicker People” was great. It was even better when Bruce Wayne stepped in to say where it was room and introduced himself. Knox went from arrogant to awkward. Especially when he agreed with Bruce about the amount champagne to be opened. Bruce knew it would make Knox feel good. It was even better when Bruce asked Alfred to give Knox the grant he jokingly asked for.
