Watching the DC Cinematic Universe so far has been like watching someone stitch together a parachute after they've already jumped out of the plane. With the exception of Wonder Woman, each entry has been met with mixed (at best) receptions and felt like they've had to make up for the mistakes of their predecessors. This has led to behind the scenes chaos and left the entire enterprise in a state of flux as to what it's actually trying to be and do. Not helping is Marvel continuing to show them up when it comes to Superhero movies. The surprise success of Wonder Woman helped right the ship, but smooth sailing wasn't guaranteed. Justice League is kind of the last gasp for this franchise to keep the whole thing from crashing and burning. Thankfully, the movie does that and has put the DC Cinematic Universe on stable footing for the first time.
