I don't mind, if only because at least 50% of badass dudes are badass purely for the sake of the story needing a badass.

I think he might have retired from voice-work. He announced awhile back that he was no longer doing the voice for Sam Fisher in the Splinter Cell games. Bit of a shocker, considering he's been doing it for like 10 years.

I don't see what the problem is. We need more of that, not less.

That movie may as well have just been called Supergirl Apocalypse, since it was a lot more about her than it was either Superman or Batman. The final fight I had little problems with though.
It's because in the comic, the entire arc (which was several issues) was built around how much it meant to have Kara in Superman's life, and how he dealt with nobody trusting that she was for real.
The culmination of it all is when Darkseid comes to the Kent farm. In the comic, Darkseid appears to vaporise Kara, and Superman just loses his shit and goes postal. The fight the two of them have is considered one of Superman's best fights with Darkseid, and arguably his most emotionally charged.
By making it more about Kara facing DS, it took away from that.
I have, just wasn't as bothered by some of the changes in the movie as others were. Them kinda changing the reason Darkseid went to the Kent farm was stupid though admittedly.

That's just off the top of my head. I didn't think comicbook movies would count so i left them out. I'm sure i've miss a ton tho.
Who wouldn't count? My original statement was there are too many of these bad ass beat everyone the f*** up female roles out there. I think they all fall in that catagory
I don't have a problem with women being badass, more it being a case where there's a sinister agenda behind it.
I mean, Underworld doesn't suffer because Beckinsale looks hot in leather. Compare that to something like Resident Evil, which is at this point a director just making vehicles for his wife.
I don't have a problem with it either i just think it's been overdone lately. Now it's just like every movie has a kick ass chick in it. Not just a woman that can take care of herself but one that always happen to be a master martial artist and can give Spiderman a run for his money.
I didn't like Rise of the Lycans cuz Sonja was supposed to be a princess and instead they went the whole warrior route again. And of course she just had to be the absolute best. She even beat Viktor's ass and he's supposed to basically be all powerful to them.
