Like I said, the compressed timelines of stories like IM3 and WS mean it's believable that the other characters wouldn't have enough time to show up and help out.

I'm hoping she spends the 40s working with a secret group of mystery men during WWII. The whole outfit ends up as nothing but urban legend.
And just like Man of Steel.
Some sort of society fighting for justice?
Nah. There's no need for a JSA in this universe.
Just a bit of fun.
Given what they've set up and what we're going to be seeing with the formation of the Justice League, having a similar super-team already having existed in the DCEU would be both redundant and underwhelming, IMO... hence why I say there's no need for the JSA to exist in the DCEU (although I do like said group in general).
It's a joke, not a suggestion or prediction.
I set up that joke, and it was *absolutely* a suggestion.
A similar super team would NOT have already existed - a covert team of Mystery Men during WWII would have existed, and be regarded for the most part, as exaggeration and urban legend.
It makes sense to me, and helps explain what Diana was doing at least part of the time - and would be really easy to spin off of the first Wonder Woman movie / franchise.

Doesn't Man of Steel take place over a longer period than a few days?
If you bring together a group of heroes, powered or otherwise, and send them on missions, you very much ARE creating a team that is similar to what we're getting with the Justice League, which in turn diminishes the 'impact' that said group's formation is supposed to have given what has been set up by MoS, BvS, SS, and WW.
Diana doesn't need to have been doing anything of note between 1918 and 2015, and it actually works better for the story if she wasn't.
Two days. From the start of Zod's announcement, to the final battle in Metropolis.
But what about the Flash?
Too busy with his cookies and milk.But what about the Flash?
Barry Allen probably hadn't suffered his accident yet.
...adding to that, as seen in the MCU, large conflicts do not always involve other heroes. This is not a free for all wrestling match.
Exactly--its the reason Project Insight--which threatened endless people around the world was (apparently) not enough for Steve Rogers or Fury to make an emergency call to Stark to join the coming battle. In fact, Stark (suspicious of SHIELD since his little hacking act seen in The Avengers) would have considered Project Insight a top priority if brought to his attention, but in The Winter Soldier, this program of mass assassination did not get the attention or involvement of any other Marvel hero. The same applies to Thor: The Dark World and other films, and contrary to certain MCU fans' defense, all Marvel timelines are not perfect in explaining away the absences of heroes in films where their presence was needed / expected.
