I think it should be Gate Way City as well. I would base it after Washington DC and make it the city of high corruption, politics and where Argus (DC universes CIA for metahumans) are based.
I think it should also be a city of diversity and mix where people from all over the world settle, so that the idea would be that it is literally a GATE WAY to the modern world. I haven´t been able to figure out what the tone of it should be, but I figure like Superman she is a superhero of the DAYTIME.
I would have Vennessa Cale as a southerner who is now a politician, a professor and one of the most brilliant but machivellian and manipulative politicians in the DC universe,who hates Wonder Woman and uses all her connections and powers to undermine her and Themyscira as being fundementally unamerican. However their is some respect between Cale and Wonder Woman because both realise they are women who are trying to be the best they can be in a mans world and everyonce in a while you´ll get a compliment or vote of confidence from one to the other or even become fleeting allies to face a greater evils or Masculine prejudice.
I think Themyscira House should be the centrepiece of the city much like The Daily Planet. It will be the official Embassy of Paradise Island and will be located near several UN buildings and will be the office where Wonder Woman and her supporting cast work. The other major building will be Argus, where Steve Trevor and Etta Candy work under Venessa Cale, but they constantly find themselves having to negotiate between her orders and their friendship with Wonder Woman. Like Veness would say "The fact she´s a woman is the only thing I trust about her. It means unlike the powerful men who run this town, she must at least be partially compitent."
I´m not an artist, so it´s hard to think of the aesthetic, but I guess Metropolis is the city of te future and Gotham is very Gothic and dark, like an underworld, so I would try and make Gate Way very, very modern.
