First paragraph

How and why woman (super) heroes are becoming more frequent and having active roles in film with refernce to Catwoman.

Nowadays woman are starting to have more active roles in films rather than passive roles, they're not being represented the way they use such as being stereotyped as a motherly figure and the housewife especially after the war when feminism had exploded across the country giving women equal rights to men even though we may still live in a patriachal society. Since the war DC comics created superheroic character such as superman, batman, the Hulk etc but women superheroes were created shortly after the war to such as wonderwoman who represented patriotic values through the clothes she wore, and Catwoman who made her first appearnce in batman in 1966. Warner brothers now known as Time warner help produce and publish action films and Tv programmes such as wonder women and catwomen which portrayed women in a totally different way.

But Wonder Woman was created in 1942, during the war and prior to US involvement. Superman in 1938. Batman between the two.

(and Hulk is a Marvel comic, created in the 60s.)

(Gosh, I hope this doesn't go through twice.)

I think you have an interesting idea here, but your information on Catwoman is inaccurate.

Selina Kyle had her debut in Batman #1 in 1940. Initially, she went by the name "The Cat", but it wasn't very long afterward that it was changed into "Catwoman".

So her debut in the comic books actually predated her television debut by about twenty-six years.
