Aside from the fact that the homme fatale isn't as common in popular literature, outside of romance novels, ..I just don't see that Wonder Woman has such a character in her on-going narrative. As a freedom-loving Amazon, she is more a crusader and revolutionary, than a warmonger. I don't see anyone, among her rogues, who might seduce her into thinking, otherwise about war-making or the preservation of freedom.
I think the homme fatale for Diana will pervert her ideas about violence and conquest, through her potential for compassion. If Diana encountered a man, who was a reluctant dictator or soldier, tormented by what he perceived to be an obligation or mission, he could not refuse, ..I think we might have our homme fatale. Perhaps, he is essentially a male mirror of Wonder Wonder, as much crusader as she - maybe, a revolutionary in a faraway land - but using tactics Diana finds against her own ethical code.
