DC has a mixed and somewhat unpredictable relationship with its female characters. It kinda depends which series/imprint/writer is handling things at the moment. Which I guess is the case with Marvel as well, only I have been liking their shows better so far.
Gah, I'm so behind on my shows...
You'd like Agents of SHIELD, I bet. There are tons of interesting, well-developed, complex female characters in that one. Unfortunately they all suck at queer representation. I'm hoping that someone will remember Harley Quinn's on-again, off-again relationship with Poison Ivy when they get to the Gotham City Sirens movie, but I doubt it.
Meanwhile--are you reading Gotham Academy, Lumberjanes or Ms. Marvel? Those are the best comics out there right now, IMO. All aimed at teens or tweens, ostensibly, but doing a much better job with diversity and creative content.
