I definitely was not. Something I enjoyed about the Wonder Woman run starting with Rucka's Rebirth was seeing old villains revamped for modern times. Dr. Cyber was easily the best revamp. We obviously can't have the revamped Dr. Cyber in WWII. I'm also concerned that DC seems to take a 1 step forward 18 steps backward approach to Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman should be seen as a modern hero, and I don't understand the need to tie her to the beginning of the 20th century and war.
I'm still going to check out Snyder's Wonder Woman, of course, but I hope it doesn't erase the vast improvement she's had with revamping villains and actually starting to solidify a consistent supporting cast, mission and even recurring rogues.

I was! Sorry! :)

Dr. Cyber wasn't one of Diana's World War II villains so no worries there. :)
The Golden Age costume is back too:

I know I'm about to be a hypocrite, but the art is really good to where I am a little interested in this title now. I hope Snyder uses her original rogues. Isn't he the one who redefined Kite Man for Batman to now he's a really popular character? I hope he'll do the same for Wonder Woman's rogues.
The braces are still silver and the boots aren't the old ones.
Also, from the angle I think she's wearing some form of mini skirt in the image above, not culottes as in her original suit.
The bracers I'm not too bothered about. Printing technology has evolved since then, and I can easily believe the black bracers of the golden age were meant to evoke some form of silvery colour. The boots have some dissimilarities, but I'm not going to mourn the loss of the high heels.

I hope Snyder uses Diana's original rogues too. This is a golden(no pun intended) opportunity for Snyder to modernize the likes of Hypnota, Osira, Minister Blizzard, The Mask, Kung, Baron Blitzkreig, and others who fit better in the themes of World War II. In fact, I'm going to be very disappointed if Cheetah is the only Wonder-rogue to appear in issue #750. If the rest of the villains are from public domain or other heroes' rogues galleries, it will come across as an epic failure to me.

It definitely looks better then some of Hitch's other DC work (but still no Nicola Scott).

Maybe he'll mix up Wonder Woman Rogues with JSA villains.

Agreed on Hitch & Scott.
As for WW villains and JSA villains, it always disappointed me that none of WW's villains ever made the roster of the Injustice Society. With Diana now being DC's first superhero, I hope that changes and Cheetah(Priscila Rich), Queen Clea, or one of her other WWII rogues get added to the Injustice Society.

No Tom King was the one who redefined Kite Man. However Snyder has a love of Golden Age Batman that shows in his Zero Year arc. Perhaps he might show Golden Age WW the same amount of love.
