DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

Speaking of which, why didn't the Flash, Batman or WW do anything about the Enchantress attack either?
Yeah. It's best not to assume that film or TV makers have only a single definitive plan for the future. It's a complicated business and a lot of things can change, so what filmmakers usually do is to give themselves multiple options. They plant multiple seeds and see which ones blossom.
Since it keeps coming back, let me clarify myself. I never intended to say that there was ever a definitive plan to do JL VS SS. What I said was that the scene very clearly sets it up and creates an expectation, especially since it is the post credits scene, and that it presumably does so on purpose. If all they wanted to show was Waller and Wayne being adversarial, they could have easily done so without the ultimatum and prevented the entire issue.
I believe it a near certainty that line will just be ignored going forward, for various reasons, and I mentioned it in that context because it is relevant as a clear setup that will be ignored. But that doesn't mean I was expecting it to happen even before JL bombed or Affleck's status came into question. I thought from the beginning that those plans were inevitably doomed and probably shouldn't have been setup at all, if for no other reason than that JL VS SS just makes no sense at all, anyway, and WB would have to have figured that out sooner or later.

I had the same thought while watching the movie.
Now that I think about it, I don't think it really had anything to do with Waller or the Suicide Squad at all. It's probably just that Warner Bros. wanted to use the post-credit scenes of the movies after BvS to tease the upcoming formation of the Justice League, and Suicide Squad just happened to be the movie that was available (although there was a slight tease at the end of Wonder Woman too). Some version of that scene would've been there in the movie after BvS no matter what that movie was about. If it had been a Detective Chimp movie, it would've ended with Bruce getting Detective Chimp's help to track down Cyborg and Flash. (Which frankly would've been awesome. Bring Andy Serkis to DC!)
Yep.
At least the MCU has some explanations for why the otherheroes don't show up in certain crisis events (Iron Man 3, Thor the Dark World). The DCEU gives none.
And at least Superman, Wonder woman and Batman should be there in a couple of hours
I’m not the biggest fan of SS or the DCEU generally, but to be fair Superman was dead at that time.
Haha ok Superman has a good reason to not be present, but the rest of the team?
Saving an orphanage in Africa from wildfire, punching Bane out of Gotham... there's shit going on all over the world all the time, use your freaking imagination people, why do you need them to spell everything out?
When they make them as OP as the DC heroes, it's valid. The MCU at least gives us explanations like Thor not being on Earth very much or Cap and Widow and Hawkeye being away on missions elsewhere a lot of the time.
Can't see the image.
Also, how the hell would Wonder Woman and Batman be there in a matter of hours. DCEU Wonder Woman can't fly and lives in Europe, she can't just go and cross the Atlantic on a whim. She'd have to use a plane to get there, and booking a flight into a crisis area takes some time and doing (not to mention that she has to work for a living). And Batman, yeah, maybe he could have been there, but what was he supposed to do? Sure, he went up against Superman, but he prepared weeks for that.
And Flash, well, we saw in JL that he wasn't really up for anything bigger than bank/convenience store robbers yet.
And having said that, I'm still drawing a blank on any onscreen explanation to the whereabouts of the other Marvel heroes in IM3 and Thor 2.
And why the fuck are we comparing DC and Marvel movies again?! We know where everybody stands on them, why do we need to discuss this yet another time? This was about the news of James Gunn working on the Suicide Squad sequel. Which I think most of us agree is a good thing. Why keep dwelling on the same old arguments?

She sure seemed to be at the end of her solo movie.
