But they wouldn’t because the story was self contained in the novel itself (even though later it was expanded). Comic book arcs in general rely on people understanding the backgrounds of the characters.
Part of the reason Snyder cut worked better was we had already had an Aquaman movie and had been introduced by wheedon to flash and Cyborg. Justice League was the Cyborg movie so if you cut out the flash and aqua man origin stuff moving them out to their own movies and then do Justice league in 3 hrs instead of 4 it gets better.
If you needed 4hrs to tell a coherent version of your plot then adding additional movies was probably a good idea.
It’s a shame they didn’t have smaller scope. BvS I think is likely the problem that if you fixed that mess then Justice league gets better. BvS has 3 movies shoehorned into into it.
