It's not so much that I have a problem with BatMAN but even the fact that there weren't any little girls in any of the movies, it was all little boys looking up to Batman ie. Gordon's son in Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises with the boys orphanage, and even all the cops were men.
Don't mind me with my crazy feminist rants...

Well I would agree to everything except one thing: Catwoman wasn't really used as a "sex symbol". Sure she was sexy and such, but that wasn't the initiative. But that's my opinion.

Does Lightning from FFXIII count? She's pretty fucking amazing. And she can kick anyone's ass.

I was actually pondering this the other day, I came to a conclusion...then forgot. I don't think it was super-hero or anything. If I remember, I'll post.

Of course!

Doesn't have to be a superhero, just a character from any type of entertainment

I gotta say Elena Fisher and, especially, Chloe Frazer, both characters of Uncharted. Elena is tough but cautious and Chloe is witty, adventurous, etc.

Oh and Katniss Everdeen. I hate comparing The Hunger Games to Twilight (they're completely different) but I guess she's considered the anti-Bella.

As most of them are going to be, lol.

I like Paine from FFX-2. She's almost as awesome as Lightning, but a much more darker person.

I'm listing these names spontaneously but yeah. Andrea is probably my second favorite character in The Walking Dead comic. She has the best aim out of all the characters and can snipe anyone and anything, and she's saved herself more than once.

Eh, Andrea is ok. but it irks me a little that Shane barely shows her how to use a gun and suddenly shes a master marksman? Also she shot Darryl. That ruins her as a character for me.

Michone is awesome though. Can't wait for the next season to start so we can see her in action a bit more.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Wasn't that all just in the show, though? I separate the comic and TV show as two different entities. Daryl's not even in the comic. >_>

Yeah, Michonne is cool. But I still don't know a lot about her other than she knows how to slice people and zombies up.
