Question: Hmm Im on a Dark Knight theme tonight!.!.!.I was thinking perhaps there arent female super villians because!.!.!.!?
There are no real female villains in our world!.!.!.Besides Dr!. Kovorkian!.!.!.or the random female killer there hasnt been a good female bad girl in our society in some time!.!.!.Do you guys think its that!.!.!.or something else!. Maybe more female criminals need to smarten up and become better!.!.!.then movies can actually reflect the deviancy in all women :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

There are plenty of evil women out there!. We just had a trial here in New Hampshire some of us are just as happy didn't get national attention!. Check out the movie Monster starring Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos, a genuine Daytona Beach serial killer if you think women have anything left to do!.
The bottom line is that superhero movies are still made for men and boys!. They do NOT want to include genuinely threatening women!. Thus, for example, Frank Miller has reportedly adapted Will Eisner's the Spirit but among the things not listed in it are any actress playing P'Gell, who was an extremely seductive woman who loved only material things -- this being Eisner her crass selfishness lifted her out of merely the category of criminal into the category of menace!.
Bluntly, if you get a real good super-villainess or female super villain out there you are going to hear a LOT of people screaming that she promotes violence against women and other nasty things -- and it's really because they just feel threatened by a genuinely independent and empowered woman!.
I've left out quite a few: Caniff did Burma and the Dragon Lady, to name just two!. I'd like to see another, of course, but I don't expect it soon!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No female super-villains!? I can name dozens!.
also, Dr!. Kevorkian is a male and helping terminally-ill patients die in peace is hardly villainy!.
EDIT: Nope, Jack Kevorkian was a doctor who helped willing, terminally-ill patients commit suicide!. If you were in pain from cancer and just didn't want to live with it anymore, Dr!. Kevorkian would be someone you would go to!.

The evil women that Batman does have aren't so evil, now that you mention it!. Catwoman does some good things and poison ivy just wants people to stop committing crimes against the environment!. I think it is because woman are so mothering so they can't hurt anyone!. The women who aren't mothering tend to be too stupid to be criminals!. Plus do you really want to see a hero beating up a girl!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Um!.!.!. what about Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn in Batman!? Silver Banshee in Superman!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
