I'm the biggest DC
in this thread, but I agree.
Marvel is doing it right. This is the main reason: they do have separate TV and movie universes, but aren't casting separate characters in the same role in the two different universes. Their movie and TV universes support each other in that movie characters (Fury in AoS, Coulson in AoS) pop up in the TV universe, and TV universe characters can pop up in the movie universe (rumors that the Defenders could pop up in the new Avengers films). That's the right way to do it.
DC should have done that.
First, I would have pulled these characters from each universe to form the Justice League.
TV Universe:
Grant Gustin - Flash
Stephen Amell - Arrow
Melissa Benoist - Supergirl
David Harewood - Martian Manhunter
Brandon Routh - The Atom
Movie Universe
Henry Cavill - Superman
Ben Affleck - Batman
Gal Gadot - Wonder Woman
Jason Momoa - Aquaman
Ray Fisher - Cyborg
Not Cast - Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Not Cast - Green Lantern (John Stewart)
Here's how I would have done the films:
Do standalone movies to introduce Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern (whichever actors they cast). Cyborg doesn't need a standalone movie to introduce him, he could be a plot point in another movie to be introduced or on one of the TV shows like Supergirl. We don't need a standalone Flash movie, the TV universe is enough backstory. I liked the TV universe Superman, but he wasn't needed. She carries the show just fine on her own.
I would have done the movie schedule like this:
2015 (Early) - Man of Steel
2015 (Late) - The Batman
2016 (Early) - Batman V Superman
2016 (Late) - Wonder Woman
2017 (Early) - Aquaman
2017 (Late) - Green Lantern Corps
2018 (Summer) - Justice League Part 1
2019 (Summer) - Justice League Part 2
