When Batman pursues the Racer in the Batmobile, Vicki Vale snaps a photo of the chase. Batman sees the photo and worries that it will reveal a secret. He convinces Vicki to run several stories of cases in which the Batmobile was used before printing the photo. The reason for this is that the engine of the Batmobile was damaged. While repairs continued, Batman replaced the Batmobile with Bruce Wayne's sportscar. Vicki's photo showed the sportscar and would have given away his identity. Batman finishes the Batmobile repairs and catches the Racer. Vicki deduces that her photo pictured a fake Batmobile, but she turns the picture over to Batman without realizing the secret it held.
