Modern Lara Croft has been described as a 'female Batman' by Tomb Raider writer, Rhianna Pratchett.

I'm pretty sure BatGirl or Even Catwoman fits being the girl batman. I reckon she is the girl Nathan Drake or Indiana Jones. Lol.

Nathan Drake? Did you just start gaming 5 years ago?

[Kran]

Actually Nathan Drake is the male Lara Croft...

um...like Suicidal said... have you just joined gaming?

[WiiUalpha]

I always thought of Drake as a male Lara Croft myself and her as a female Indiana Jones

[Kran]

a female indiana in modern times...

yet in the movies, i somehow resembled her to james bond o.O

I am all in for Batman knock offs.

[RivetCityGhoul]

hope it doesn't play like batman. both batmans sucked imo.

[OmniSlashPT]

Yeah, because this new Lara is everything but Lara Croft. It's just a poor excuse of a reboot.

Lara Croft is a badass itself, it's not female Batman, it's freaking Lara Croft. Don't try to redo the character.
