TDKR, meanwhile, requires you to know nothing beyond the fact that Batman is old, there's a new Robin, and who Gordon, the Joker, Superman, Selina and Two-Face are and what their relationships to Batman are.
Doing that with Wonder Woman is considerably more difficult because nobody can agree on who the essential supporting players are beyond Hippolyta, where Diana should live after she leaves Paradise Island, which Gods had a hand in shaping the Amazons, which Amazon cast to use, who is her arch nemesis/important villains, what the lasso can do, should she fly or not fly and what does that mean for the invisible jet, is she bullet proof or not, and everything in between.
Those problems existed before Azzarello. He made them worse, but inconsistent supporting cast, power set, continuity and lack of use for her villains are problems that have plagued her from Marston's death all the way through the entire post-Crisis canon.
