While Superman changes the wave length of his heat vision to the same radiation that harms Gladiator.
I suppose we're saying much of the same thing, just in slightly different ways: when I say "Diana runs interference with Thor", that's what I'm getting at, for the most part.
However, Supes HV trick may not be an instant catch-all, just as a similar trick used against him (via red solar radiation) doesn't always result in any sort of "insta-kill". Gladiator is supposed to be a *conceptual* answer to Superman, in many ways, and while I think Clark has the edge, much like a battle between him and Diana, things aren't so clear cut. Gladiator and Superman could go rounds in most conventional terms.
I still stand by my "median" answer of mutual ass-whooping (though if the original point of Diana's gauntlets applied, this would be over in relatively short order...)
EDIT: Oh, and as far as Wonder Woman redirecting: it is *possible*, but not a reliable tactic in this regard; remember, when she did re-direct the combined god-power of the greek gods, it almost knocked her off her feet, and she was just doing a gross re-direct to a large, unmoving target. Neither Thor nor Gladiator are "large, unmoving targets" in that sense... unless, of course, Clark can get Gladiator into a position/hold, but then that can get Supes screwed, himself... again, not as simple as it seems... (I have also seen Diana's redirected attacks not always hit an intended target, but miss and hit the ground/wall, etc...)
