Black Canary BarbieOn the one hand, I can kind of understand how parents might misconstrue the Black Canary costumed Barbie there as being some kind of S&M outfitted dominatrix. On the other, Black Canary is one of the super heroes I’ve been actively trying to teach my daughter to recognize by sight, and really, this outfit is no worse that ones in the Bratz line of dolls. But then, I grew up with a sister who was a dancer, so seeing someone decked out in fishnet tights and a leotard always looks like someone performing in a Broadway musical to me…

But religious group Christian Voice said: “Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far.

A children’s doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible – it’s filth.”
