List: Top 3 Female Comic Book Movie Characters

This week on Episode 316 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, we wanted to honor the female comic book movie characters that came before her. Despite it being obvious, it’s worth noting that “comic book” and “superhero” aren’t the be all end all when it comes to these characters. Superhero’s have dominated the film landscape when it comes to movies based off of comic books or graphic novels, but there are a lot more out there that made this list more expansive than what Marvel and DC have produced over the years. Either way, there are so many great female characters to consider here and we had fun talking about what makes them so memorable. That said, here are our lists:
