Because one thing worked in the decades past in the mass market doesn't mean that is the hard line in sand forevermore for how a thing must always attain success or relevancy.

It’s the fourth movie in a cinematic universe that has already dictated a visual aesthetic as well as a general tone, even if it has a shift towards more fun and humor. The whole comic book movie thing has been trial and error for the bast forty years, they’re getting the formula down.
Part of the reason they had such freedom is because Wonder Woman film was something that had never been done before. The TMNT have had five theatrical films. Their base personalities are ingrained in the public eye now.
Not to mention that the film portrays the classic Wonder Woman known and loved by people for decades. It’s the pretty much the same Wonder Woman that people have seen since her inception. Yes, the character has evolved since Lynda Carter, but there is a consistency there that allows for her success.
And am I saying that the only chances of success for the Turtles is mainting the status quo? Of course not, we need something new and different for them in film. However, I don’t think just simply adapting Mirage stories is going to be good enough.
