Which makes it a pseudo-Justice League movie, not a lead in. Characters like Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and whoever else they have to round out the team are untested.
 * Batman/Superman is their lead in. And in that film, they'll introduce the characters of Wonder Woman and Cyborg at least, to lead into Justice League afterwards.

You know what made The Avengers as successful as it was? Marvel spent the five years leading up to it gaining the audience's trust that they could do their characters justice on Screen. DC hasn't come close to that. It's a big difference. They're willing to reboot characters just as quickly as they're willing to make a sequel. A lot of people didn't (still don't) know The Incredible Hulk is a reboot. One of the biggest criticisms still hurled at the Amazing Spider-Man movies is that it was too soon to reboot. Absolutely. They're not rushing into a combined universe. They're taking steps. 1- Here's Superman; 2- Here's Batman and Superman (other people introduced); 3- Here's the two of them teaming up with the other people. 1- A Superman a lot of people don't like; 2- Here's Superman butting heads with the Justice League; 3- @#$! it, here's a Justice League movie
 * Come on, less time being like, two months less. Both gaps are about four years. And with the Incredible Hulk and Amazing Spider-Man coming in after five years, it's not that big a difference. Particularly when it's essentially him showing up in someone else's movie.

It's not even a combined universe. It's a Superman franchise hijacked by the Justice League. You know it. He's Jeph "Avengers Assemble" Loeb. Jeph "Ultimate Spider-Man" Loeb.
