Women of the DCU Who Deserve Their Own Films

Which implies that being "different from Bruce Wayne" has some kind of inherent value in and of itself. It doesn't really. If anything, the things that she has in common with Wayne--the elements of her backstory that are based on the same template--would have more value with a broad audience than anything that might make her different.

When I say 'different', I was actually referring more to the visuals of her character. Film is obviously a very visual medium, and Batwoman has a pretty awesome look about her.

She's also called Batwoman, people would likely be waiting for Batman to show up the whole movie.

so? Do it like in her comic - she sees Batman drop some thug one night and is inspired. All he needs is a cameo. And what's wrong with building a common mythology across different movies? It worked really well for Marvel.

It's not like you could really do say a Supergirl movie without bringing up Superman.

Only DC females I'd be interested in seeing:
- WW (duh)
- Vixen
- Power Girl
- Huntress
- Zatanna

But movies aren't comics, I'm not sure a general audience wants to see a Batwoman movie, it's just got to much baggage with audience expectations. If it's a good story it would probably be wiser to just not call her Batwoman.

History also showed that superhero films in general don't make a lot of money, then along game the Dark Night, and Iron Man, and Avengers.

Well, the X-Men, Blade and Spider-Man movies before them also did very well...also the Men in Black and Constantine movies before those...and the Burton Batman movies before those...and the Reeve movies before those...
