I don't know if this is necessarily the case. It's that Marvel decided to acutally invest in the development of their minor/2nd tier characters for the big screen, whereas DC has been living off of Superman and Batman for decades are just going to try and shoehorn all their characters into one movie without any sort of character development. Aquaman, Martian Manhunter at the very least both need their own movie to a)quell the stigma of Aquaman and b) to introduce MMH as he is a cool character, but the majority of people don't know who he is. Flash should have his own as should GL, but both of those could probably come after.
But it will just be confusing. So a global threat arises (because apparently Zod trying to turn Earth into Krypton wasn't enough to bring these peeps out of hiding. Wasn't one of the world engines in the ocean? Aquaman could have helped out with that I'm sure) and these people all come together. How do they know each other? What brings them together? What are the character differences that will cause interesting clashes between heroes? None of this stuff will be accounted for.
Maybe they'll play it off like the JL already exists and Superman is just joining now? That still makes no sense in line with Man of Steel.
