I don't think you want to play the game of "who literally accomplished more" in their respective films. Natasha saving the lives of quite a few people throughout the course of her films, including Captain Americas, and mind-****ing the God of Trickery into revealing his master plan are just the tip of the iceberg.
But that's not what I meant when I asked the question. What I meant is what does she bring to the film? Aside from serving as Wayne's booty-call and Nolan's mouthpiece for the evil of the rich, her character serves no purpose, hence why she's absent for the bulk of the film. By comparison, Natasha at least serves as an excellent foil for Steve and his ideals, as evidenced by their excellent on-screen chemistry.
More of a character arc than BW has.
That's not a character arc. In order for there to be a character arc, there has to be some kind of presented personality, which changes as a result of stimulus shown within the story.. Catwoman started the movie off hating rich people, she told Bruce that she hated rich people, disappeared for an hour of the film, then reappeared and was suddenly in love with Bruce because she watched him get his ass beat by Bane and the plot demanded it. That's not a character arc. Natasha's tiny arc in Winter Soldier alone beats that, what with her attitude toward SHIELD and its shady dealings at the start of the film making a total 180 by its end due to Steve's rhetoric and personally observing the extreme consequences of the organizations shadowy actions.
U mad? I'm looking at the entirety of the character. [/B]
I'm ****ing furious bro, my balls are leaden with righteous hatred.
Looking at the entirety of the character is fine, trying to diminish the accomplishments of her writing by clinging to her poor characterization in one of three films is reaching.
