Or she becomes even darker because melanin is about protecting you from the sun? :P

I think the blonde ones getting stuck with the baby daddy is just unfortunate coincidence, and not causation.
Earth One Hippolyta still has Hercules as a sperm donor and she's a brunette. Technically Rebirth Hippolyta still got pregnant by Zeus even though Rucka and Cloonrad clearly wished it otherwise
"assumed"?
It is made explicit during James Robinson's run. She continues to be considered an Olympian and demi-goddess in subsequent runs. And even Cloonrad hints at her parental affiliation with Zeus.
I think that the fact that He is her father will be a burden that we will have to bear forever and ever.
Not necessarily. Since everything is canon, a writer can just say it is clay for their run, or another writer, perhaps at the same time in the Justice League says she is a demi-god through Zeus. It doesn't make sense, but with this idiotic edict that says everything is game from pre-crisis and upwards, then so be it.
Which version of animated Wonder Woman was more powerful/skilled: the 2009 animated Wonder Woman or the 2021 Justice Society animated Wonder Woman?
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
I vote 2009 simply because the movie was about her and only her, so there was more room to rack up accomplishments.
As much as I rag on the DCAU's depiction of Wonder Woman, I do have to commend how they handled her during their big Superman/Doomsday brawl episode.
Unlike most depictions, where Diana's only there to get crushed along with every other hero, she's instead evacuating civilians and kept away from the actual fight. And I really liked that multiple times through the fight she really wants to stop and help Clark, but he insists she focus on getting people to safety. Even though this wasn't a 'Death of Superman' story, it added good tension and conflict where he's fighting for his life against something that could kill him, and Diana desperately wants to help and could probably turn the tide if she did, but can't.
It makes me wish that was more of the default/accepted plot of Death of Superman rehashes, as opposed to everybody gets wrecked until Superman swoops in to fight Doomsday alone.
You could even develop it into a side-arc for her where she feels like she let him down and questions whether she made the right choice helping civilians instead of fighting by Clark's side. Then she can play a part in his revival, bringing her closure. Like I said...better than getting her ass kicked, going to the funeral, and doing nothing for the rest of the story.
Anyway, props to the DCAU creators for doing a Superman/Doomsday fight that had actual tension and didn't make Wonder Woman look like a chump.
I don't think she looked like a chump in the animated movie adaption if only because she held her own against Doomsday better than most of the other team did, and I liked the effect of her hair finally coming loose, but that's just me (I also think setting up Doomsday being near unstoppable until Superman fights him and has to basically sacrifice himself is effective, but to each their own).
