It's such a shame that Diana has such a verity of compelling and powerful villains, yet most oncoming writers refuse to use them. While Batman, the Flash and Superman's main rouge gallery keeps popping up. And no, Diana's villains are no more silly than those other ones. Sure, a writer can create their own villain during their run, but they should build up her backlog of adversaries too - even the Golden, Silver and Bronze aged ones.
And by the way, I'm not talking about using an old, barely seen villain only one time, just so Diana can bet them up in a few panels at the beginning of an arch either. That's how they are seen as jokes and silly - not viewed as worth her time or energy.
That's the thing...every writer wants to put their stamp on the series and rather than give a villain a defining moment, they just try to re-invent the wheel...which doesn't even last as the next writer will do the same, tossing the previous villain in the trash. This also tends to start to lead to redundancy with some villains as instead of seeing who would best fit the mold, they just create expies.

So I was playing around with Bing's free AI image creator, and I wanted to see what it did when I prompted the AI to make a picture based on "DC Comics Circe" and other WW villains; this is what it came up with (made me happy that it had the purple hair, green dress and golden accents.
