History
Vesper Fairchild was a radio talk show host who became romantically involved with billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, secretly the vigilante known as Batman. She disappeared from Gotham City during the events of No Man's Land, but would rekindle their relationship after the City's reparation. She was eventually shot and killed by David Cain, who was acting on orders from Lex Luthor (then President of the United States), to frame Wayne. Her death would lead to Batman briefly abandoning his Bruce Wayne identity.
