@csg_cl: Well the difference I saw was that Circe was more of just an immortal sorceress where as QoF was more like a god in her own right. Circe's magic tended to require a pretty heavy use of ritual where as QoF merely bent reality to her will. I've only actually read the Wonder Woman issue with QoF so I might actually be a little off on my interpretation, but I'd see her being brought into the New 52 as more of a "True Fae".
I see Circe as essentially being Wonder Woman's Lex Luthor. Someone who is essentially powerless, but uses their cunning and resources (knowledge of magic) to make themselves into their much more powerful advisory's equal. Like I said before QoF would be more like Wonder Woman's Mxyzptlk. A more or less nigh omnipotent being who's basically dedicated themselves to trolling the protagonist. Although I think QoF would do it in a bit more of a malevolent way.
Also with the 52 establishing Wonder Woman as being as powerful as the top Greek Gods I think that's going to rule out a lot of the lesser Greek mythological creatures as reasonable threats. I think this means the DC will have to start looking into other mythologies even more to give her viable threats. This would include Norse, Egyptian, Hindu, and Judo-Christian mythologies, but I think it could also include creating new things like the "True Fae" pantheon of which QoF would be the primary threat.
