The problem is, there is no long-term story potential with her being the daughter of Zeus. There's no dramatic tragedy, no obstacles to overcome, no great responsibilities to be reluctant to adhere to because of that. It's now just...Your parents got together and now you're just here...That's it...I guess you all got what you wanted, Wonder Woman: simplified. Problem solved? Not to me...
That works fine for the story that azzarello has told thus far, even though it's a change I still don't think he needed to make. But I don't see it working long-term. The likelihood of some writer down the line messing it up it to the point of retcon seems likely IMO.
