The Best Comic Book Movies Directed By Women

Film News

There are a surprising amount of films based on comic books and graphic novels that are directed by women. Traditionally women have been underrepresented in directing, and while there are still way more movies directed by men, we see more and more directed by female filmmakers. Here are some examples of movies based on comic books directed by women.

Tank Girl (1995)

Comic book movies were much rarer in the 1990s than they are today, much less movies based on an alt-comic like Tank Girl. Still, in 1995 director Rachel Talalay took the helm to make a movie based on the hit underground comic. Lori Petty starred as the titular character and while it’s not the best adaption ever made, it has its moments and at least it’s an early-sh example of a female-led comic book movie.
