I actually almost added Aquaman to the poll, but then opted to use Batgirl instead because I was trying to add in another woman superhero.

While I enjoy the Marvel movies and their heroes, they aren't as endearing as the DC's Justice League heroes. I'm thinking it's because their ethics and morals aren't as upstanding as DC's code of honor. <<Marvel heroes, with the exception of Spider-Man are more likely to kill villains without any qualms and not worry about innocent victims.
I completely agree. While I too enjoy the Marvel movies, I'm more of a DC fan, and the reason you gave for preferring DC pretty much sums up my feelings.

Sadly, there really isn't a strong female superhero whom I can admire (other than Buffy). I liked Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) and she was okay on SuperFriends, but kind of androgynous (despite the outfit). I absolutely hate where they've taken her character in the comics lately. As a woman who has stolen Lois's rightful man, I don't see her as a positive role model.
It is sad that there aren't a whole lot of female comic superheroes adapted into films and television. It doesn't help that a lot of the female superhero films that have been made have flopped and most likely scared Hollywood off from doing more. The only successful transition of a female superhero from the comic books to live action, not counting anything where a female superhero is a member of a larger team that includes male superheroes, that I can think of is Lynda Carter's portrayal of Wonder Woman, and her portrayal of the character is the reason I included Wonder Woman among my list of favorite superheroes.

I really like Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, too. I just wish the powers that be would give her a solo movie.
