How do women in the comics industry feel about the Bat Girl film?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Ahead of a weekend of Comic Con events around the country we speak to two women about their passion for comics and why the comic world is becoming far less male dominated. Louise Grainger is the co-founder of Dunfermline Comic Con and Holly Ringsell runs her own comic book shop in Essex. What do they make of .Joss Whedon's assertion he had to step down from writing and directing a new Bat Girl film because he couldn't come up with a good enough story for the character?
