The concept of a woman as temptress has been a constant one throughout history, either in fiction or often in religious texts.  The ability of women to look attractive is portrayed as the only thing which has the capacity to defile the minds of the males, for without the temptation nothing would happen.  Wars have been fought over adultery (the Trojan War being a good example) in which case it is usually the woman who gets blamed for these actions.  Even into modern times a woman who chose to reveal her body was considered scandalous.  This is partially why fishnet stockings were often considered of ill repute, as they did not cover the whole leg, rather offered a glimpse of the flesh beneath.  In the modern liberated times women are mostly free to dress as we wish, saving perhaps for our own sensibilities and modesty.  Now instead of women being condemned for showing skin they are instead ... oh wait ... still condemned for displaying skin.  Not in the same manner though, now women get the stigma of "slut" or "whore" if they dress in a certain way, and if some sort of violent action occurs to them, they often get partially blamed for having instigated it.   Such has been the case with a young woman dressed in miniskirt raped and killed in New Jersey a few years ago, and certain municipalities in Florida are trying to institute rules about just what exactly women are allowed to wear after dark.  
 
This brings me in a roundabout way to the DC reboot.  Some characters are being drawn in a continually more realistic way (I applaud the continued appearance of Wonder Woman) but others are getting a decidedly more sexed up appearance, chiefly Harley Quinn and Starfire.
