While it's hard to separate, but what I didn't like about the run is his take on Batman being "Batgod."
Based on Wonder Woman Year One, I'm not sure if he'd tackle the feminism inherent in Wonder Woman very well or push it forward without a lot of research and discussions with feminists. (Not that a lot of other writers did this either.) But, if anyone could reimagine the wackiness, zaniness, action, adventure, and heart of Wonder Woman's long history and catapult it into the future in some compelling, creative, and dramatic way, it's Morrison. Oddly, if he took on Diana he's got the opposite charge of working on Bruce (according to some critics of the Wonder Woman character.) Instead creating a goddess, he'd be making a mortal, in the thematic sense of the terms.
Let alone how he'd develop Steve and Etta. The idea of Grant playing with Cheetah, Circe, Ares, Doctor Psycho, Silver Swan, Doctor Cyber, Giganta, Heracles, Superwoman, Angle Man, Queen Clea, Inversion: The Inside Out Man, Captain Wonder, Chang Tzu, Duke Dazam, Eviless, Anton Unreal, etc. holistically as part of the Wonder mythos kind of excites me - if he played the long game over a long run.
Also, I'd appreciate the notoriety he'd bring to the character. A lot of people follow Morrison, so if he took on Diana for a considerable period of time and revisited her concepts a lot of people may change their mind about her and her enemies. Overall, I think he could propel her characters and concepts forward, but the feminist angle and carrying on Marston's message is one reservation.
