Quote - Basically, they don't know what to do with the character and they feel she under-performs compared to Batman, Superman, and others. They have to try to avoid any "Hubba hubba!" appeal in a modern version, and they have to sell the character to an audience that doesn't really like superheroes per se. I am sort of surprised that they've retained any hints of the traditional Wonder Woman at all, in the images I've seen.
If there are three heroines DC should NOT desexualize, it's Wonder Woman, Black Canary and Zatanna. I don't quite know what to say about Power Girl, but another topic, another time. A few years ago when I was still following comics, I tried to let DC know why they were on the wrong track with Wonder Woman. It was the way they wanted to portray her. They got rid of her Diana Prince identity ( a big mistake in my opinion). That made her less human. For the most part she only ever fought females, and always the same ones, or some magical mythological creature. And despite her "warrior" looks, most of the time she tried to talk her enemies into giving up.
