The mistake DC made its where they tried to create the entire DC film universe dark and gritty like the Dark Knight trilogy instead of creating each movie according to their respected character and city.
The Marvel cinematic universe varies from Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Guardians, even if not so blatantly. Most importantly, Marvel didn't try to create a realistic comic book adaptation.
DC went full Snyder / dark and gritty and screwed everything up.
Bats is now way older than Supes and everyone else in JLA. Supes is boring as frack and has already killed 2 of his greatest villains whilst the third was killed of camera. Flash has been horribly cast, Cyborg looks more like a Bayformer. Snyder is still making every film like it's an episode of Watchmen and Ben Affleck has been called in to save the catastrophe (since he is the only person involved on set that's been following the comics and actually knows and cares about the source material).
The DCCU is a big ol cluster frack.
They should have started a new Bats trilogy that would have brought in Supes in the second film and introduced Joker in the first film sending him off to prison.
Followed by a Supes film that would bring in Bats and introduce Lex.
Followed by a Bats film where we have Bane who breaks Joker and Lex out of prison in the end. Introducing Martian Mahunter who comes to warn them off an approaching war.
Followed by a Supes and Bats film where they split up, one going to look for Aquaman whilst the other tries to hold of the Joker, Harley and Deadshot.
I could go on, but I'm pretty sure anyone on this site could have handled the DCCU better than WB and Snyder.
