Biography[]

Batman[]

Knox believes in the Batman, and is very positive about him as well. When he and Vicki Vale are at Wayne Manor (where Bruce Wayne is hosting a charity ball to raise $250,000 for Gotham City's 200th anniversary), Bruce and Vicki hit it off. Alex appeared jealous, but was also a little intrigued by seeing how they got together. Bruce told Alex that he read his work and liked it "a lot".

Appearances/Actors[]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Steve Martin and Daniel Stern both turned down the role of Alexander Knox.
  • In the Sam Hamm drafts, it was Knox who realized Bruce Wayne's secret through research and tried to blackmail him into staying away from Vicki. Knox was also supposed to die during the Joker's attack, but Jon Peters liked Robert Wuhl so much that they decided to let him live in Warren Skaaren's revised shooting script. Knox and Vicki also created the first makeshift Bat-Signal projected against a ballon to show the Batwing that they were a danger, where as in the shooting script there is no explanation for Bruce's inspiration for the Bat-Signal.
  • In Daniel Waters' first draft for the sequel, Knox's body was found crucified on the Bat-Signal early in the story. That was later used with Carmine Falcone in Batman Begins.
  • The lines "What a dick" (muttered after the newspaper artist showed Knox his rendering of Batman) and "He must've been King of the Wicker People" were ad-libbed by Wuhl.
