My question

To what extent do the female characters in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and ‘SALT’ challenge traditional female stereotypes?

In this film there are many different things that females are presented as. For example, in the dark knight Anne Hathaway is presented and seen as a cold-hearted, sexual young woman. She is a dark character that  has to be seen as sexy and young and has to fight and so she has to be a strong woman. In SALT again Angelina jolie is presented as a strong, feisty, young, woman. This is because as her role she had to do violence and use her strength. These are not typical and traditional stereotypes of women as women are seen as caring, kind, emotional, mature etc. Anne and Angelina have changed people minds about this. Having a complete opposite to what females are is a change to what the world believes. Women are seen as strong, independent people. Having this representation can be good as woman can be seen as strong and independent like men. Males are seen as more dominant characters as they are seen to have violent, masculine traits. These are things that you don't normally see in women but the Dark knight and SALT have changed many people views.
