10 Female DC Superheroes Who Deserve Their Own Solo Movie
5. Lady Blackhawk
A great aspect of Wonder Woman was the time period it was set in. It blended the superhero and historical genres seamlessly, and DC could try the same thing with a Lady Blackhawk film.
Set during WW2, the movie could focus on Zinda Blake’s determination to become the first female member of the Blackhawks. As an elite aircraft unit, the Blackhawks were used to taking on dangerous missions behind enemy lines.
In the comics, Zinda was refused entry to the team because of her gender and it motivated her to train as a pilot. On her second interaction with the Blackhawks, she rescued the entire team. In honour of her service, Zinda was accepted into the Blackhawks.
The film could make use of several important WW2 battles, such as Operation Torch, which saw the first major involvement of American troops in the war. The Blackhawks could be pinned down in enemy territory and Zinda charges in all guns blazing to rescue them.
Given Steven Spielberg is attached to direct a Blackhawks film, here's hoping Zinda takes the lead.
