Yes, it'd need the right writer. But to me, Wonder Woman always deserves the right writer.
Also, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that our society isn't "post-truth". Rather, it is starting to wake up and realise that the truth is political, and the political is truth.
One thing I'm pondering right now is the nature of escapist fiction, and how immensely political it is. Most people pretend it isn't political, but it's usually steeped in politics—we just don't notice it. Both Wonder Woman and Superman were intensely political figures in their beginning, and the 30s and 40s were a time of an even more polarised political climate.
