History

Overview

Silver St. Cloud is a Gotham City socialite who had a romantic connection to Bruce Wayne/Batman. She was also once engaged to U.S. senator Evan Gregory. She is aware that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Personal History

Silver St. Cloud is a woman from Gotham City's upper class. She was involved in a romantic relationship with billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne several years ago, and at some point during their relationship she discovered that Wayne is secretly the costumed crime fighter known as the Batman. After witnessing one of Batman's battles, she realized that she could not live with the constant fear of losing him. She ended their relationship and left Gotham.

Years later, St. Cloud returned to Gotham with her then-fiancé, U.S. Senator Evan Gregory. Gregory was on a political campaign running for Governor, but he ran into some complications when his opponent turned out to the Joker.

After being doused with the Scarecrow's fear gas, Silver rediscovered her passion for Bruce, and decided to cut off her engagement to Gregory. Right after informing Gregory of the devastating news, Silver was abducted by the Joker, who planned to use her to pressure Gregory into dropping out. Gregory went after the Joker, but he tragically lost his right arm and leg before he and Silver were rescued by Batman. Batman asked Silver to stay with Gregory while he recovers, reasoning that Gregory needed her now and that they can wait until the current crisis has passed. Silver was furious at the notion of being "loaned out" to another man. Later, Gregory dies, and she went to meet Wayne after that.

Notes

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.

Trivia

• Creator Steve Englehart participated in early drafts of the 1989 Batman Movie, and actually wrote Silver St. Cloud into the script. However, when it was being filmed, it was decided not to include her as she hadn't made an appearance in comics for over a decade. Instead, they just changed her character's name to that of Vicki Vale's.
• A version of Silver St. Cloud has been referenced in Super Friends continuity, but has never made an actual appearance.
