Having female leads helps fight comic fatigue

With over 60 new comic movies slated to be released in the next five years or so, having female leads helps the movie studios and television networks diversify their releases. With such a saturated market already, it makes sense to use our favorite female comic book heroes to change the scenery a bit and to deepen the story lines of Marvel and DC. Excluding these characters in the long run only aims to hurt the comic book universes on screen. Having these female led movies also breaks up the fatigue of the common movie goer, one that might not be familiar with the original comic books. It keeps them relevant to a completely different crowd and sparks further interest into the comic book universes.
