Alicia Hunt (Batman)

Alicia Hunt

Alicia Hunt  (Jerry Hall) is a minor antagonist in the 1989 film Batman. She is mistress of Carl Grissom and secretly Jack Napier. After Jack becomes the Joker, Alicia continues to act as his villainous paramour.

HISTORY

Alicia Hunt was a fashion model who had appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine, as well as various other pictures which she posted all over her lavish apartment. Alicia was the mistress of crime boss, Carl Grissom (Jack Palance), and turned a blind eye to his criminal activity. Presumably due to her jobs as a model and mistress, Alicia lived a lavish and glamorous lifestyle, constantly taking shopping trips. In secret, Alicia was the paramour of Grissom's right-hand man, Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) and feared what Grissom would do if he ever found out of their relationship. After Grissom did indeed discover their secret love affair, he planned on killing Jack, but the plan backfired and Jack instead transformed into a clown-like villain, now calling himself the Joker.
Alicia returned home from one of her shopping trips and fainted at the sight of Jack's new persona. In order to make her a "work of art" like him, Jack disfigured Alicia and she began to wear a porcelain mask to conceal her scarred face. When the Joker planned to break into the museum and vandalize the paintings, Alicia questioned his intentions, but nonetheless tagged along. Joker and his goons arrived at the theater and vandalized the paintings, much to Alicia's upset, who had wanted to see the acts take place herself. Joker brought her up to where he and Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) were sitting and had her show Vicki her new face, which scares Vicki away as Alicia removes her mask. Later, Joker claims that Alicia committed suicide by throwing herself out of window. However, it is strongly hinted that Joker himself murdered her to make room for Vicki as his new lover.

PERSONALITY

Alicia is very vain, having many modeling portraits of herself spread throughout her apartment, which is possibly what led her to commit suicide after her scarring. Alicia is also willing to turn a blind eye to the criminal activities of her boyfriends and even wanted to assist Jack in his. After her scarring, Alicia became very subservient to Jack/Joker and seemed to still love him as before.
