"What? The Outfit's Not Enough?"

I glanced through a magazine article this morning that discussed the poor box-office performance of Catwoman and Elektra. "Looks like audiences aren't ready for female superheroes," commented a studio exec.

Right. We're not ready. Or, maybe, they were weak movies to begin with? Idiot.

I bet the guy who did Batman: Dead End and World's Finest could make a kick-ass Catwoman or Wonder Woman flick. Maybe someone should suggest it to him.

Daredevil and Punisher didn't do so well, either, AFAIK. The former was a weak movie and I couldn't even be bothered to see the other.

And what do they consider Lara Croft to be?

A video game tie-in and therefore irrelevent

Asymmetric?

I think they both suffer from being spinoffs of male superheroes who were inexplicably absent from their movies. Not to mention they made Catwoman a wholly different character. I think Wonder Woman would work better as a stand-alone movie heroine, but it's tough to overcome the corniness of a lasso of truth and the Red/Blue/Gold costume. If they made it a movie, they'd have to change the leotard and that would just kill Wonderwoman.

Imagine having a Movie based on the female G.I. Joes and not having the rest of G.I. Joe appear in the film at all.
