Is the current Wonder Woman series set in the present day?
It isn't precisely dated next to the other comics.
It does seem like it takes place a bit before (the flight thing).

Even if we take the thing literally as it is, this diana can't beat herc. Though I doubt that if she removed her bracers, she would be portrayed above hal. Its just too soon.
From what we've seen, at this point, Bracer-less Wonder Woman should be solidly above Hal.
How she might or might not be portrayed later is speculation on what writers might not even do. It seems to me you'd have to remove the bracer-boost entirely to make it not be the case.

Hell, yeah. She was struggling to beat Artemis, once she took it off, Wondy owned her. Kind of like a Rock Lee from Naruto, right?
I never watched Naruto.

Like, remember how pre-crisis, when she removed them she'd go berserk? I think it's a call back to that.
Ah, okay.

^ I don't think it's fair to label her unleashed powers, "Zeus' power" or "god power." Wonder Woman clearly knew her cuffs (guess they're not bracers anymore) restrained her full power for a while now. And she only just found out that she was Zeus' daughter.
While her full unrestrained power might rightly be a result of her lineage, it's not like this is a Zeus amp, like the Zeus lightning upgrade was pre-Flashpoint. And it's not a plot device awareness amp that resulted from the revelation that she was Zeus' daughter, i.e., "Since I know am Zeus' daughter, there must be some untapped reservoir of power I can tap! I think I'll try it out now~~!"
Analogously, Thor's power is obviously Odinpower mixed with Gaeapower, but we don't look at Thor's best feats while unleashed as Odinpower or Gaeapower. We think of it as Thor's power. Likewise, with this scene in Wonder Woman, I think we should think of it as Wonder Woman's power.
