Justice League has come under fire after fans accused its costumes of being over-sexualised.
First highlighted on fan site Golden Lasso, there is a notable difference between the armour-like clothes worn in the first Wonder Woman film and the more revealing cloth-like pieces worn by the lead character's family in Justice League. The first set of costumes were designed by Lindy Hemming, and the second by Michael Wilkinson.
However, one actress called Erin Blevins - whose scene has been cut from the film - has defended the costumes arguing that they made her feel "empowered".
"You can call me whatever you want, you can assert that scantily clad females is regression, but perhaps your view of sexuality is what should be under the microscope," she said on Instagram. "Maybe calling it “feminism” doesn’t make it correct or even needed. I love my body. I love being capable. I love the strength and esteem that I’ve developed through physical activity."
