10 Ways Comic Book Movies Keep F*cking Up Female Characters

10. We Only Remember The Bad Ones

Catwoman will dog the female portrayal of comic book characters until the end of time.

When you think of female superheroes in film, it's not exactly inspiring, thanks mostly to the noughties run of femme fatales that did nothing to help the industry. We had the disastrous Elektra, which rolled off the back of the equally awful Daredevil film, where 20th Century Fox decided to give Jennifer Garner the limelight.

The future of the female comic book slate looks much better, but they have a lot of ground to make up thanks to the likes of Elektra and Catwoman. Halle Berry herself is a double offender thanks to Catwoman and her awful portrayal of Storm in the X-Men films.

When it was announced that Berry was demanding more money than ever to appear in Days Of Future Past, we thought that perhaps this time Storm would be much better... Ok, maybe not.

The point is, it's incredibly hard to shake off those terrible ghosts of the past.
