Why This Matters
This film is notable as the first English-language motion picture to feature a female superhero, and, aside from made-for-television films, it remained unique in this regard until Supergirl's release 18 years later. Its production was a direct response to the popularity of the Batman television series and resulted in a copyright lawsuit.
