What If Justice League: Mortal started the DCEU?

The DCEU was... not great. It makes me sad when I think about it because it could've been great. One thing I specifically think about is if they had followed through with a plan they originally had, which was a George Miller directed Justice League film. In this scenario, the movie releases in 2013 because 1. I want this DCEU to line up with the one we have in real life as much as I can, and 2. If this movie were made, it would've had to have been delayed because of the writer's strike and the other production issues that led to the film being canceled (also I made a few changes to the original movie that would come with four extra years of production).
