Batman vs Superman almost Justice League Movie but not quite got DELAYED!!

Apparently, Ben Affleck hurt his BAT-LEG and is unable to film for six weeks. This caused the delay of the Final movie to 2016... May 6th, 2016 to be more accurate.
Now the "OFFICIAL Reason" given can be defined as Filmakers need time to fix the clusterF- that this project has become.

Also, a Peter Pan movie is coming for 2015...

Yes, Filmmakers need to fix that not quite Justice League mess up... There's a rumor going around that the plan is to film Bats/Supes and Justice League back to back. There's a Rumor about Jason Momoa playing Aquaman (of all characters) Added to the whole Rock and Denzel Washington being considered and the rumors of Cyborg and John Stewart GL showing up.

If they're filming both movies back to back, it's a good thing. The problems I see are:

If they add WW, Cyborg, GL, and Aquaman to BvS then that's 4 Origins being tacked on to one movie.
Non-Hardcore comic book fans will wonder why is GL black? (we saw the reversed version of this when they brought Hal Jordan back to the Animated Universe)

Let's look at The Avengers:
Hulk: 2 movies to develop his background and character (sequel was a sort of semi-soft reboot)
Ironman: 2 movies to develop his background and character
Thor: 1 Movie to develop his background and character
Hawkeye: Minor character in Thor
Black Widow: Minor character in Ironman 2
Captain America: 1 Movie to develop his background and character

So, Incredible Hulk, Ironman 1 & 2, Thor and Captain America laid the groundwork for Avengers.

Now let's look at the JLA development:
Superman: 2 Movies to develop his background and character
Batman: 3 Movies to develop his background and character ASSUMING that Batffleck is an Older Christian Bale. If the Nolanverse Batman is NOT PART of the JLA Movieverse, then Batman has Nothing
WW: Minor character in BvS
Aquaman: (Rumored) Minor character in BvS
GL: (Rumored) Minor character in BvS
Cyborg: (Rumored) Minor character in BvS
Unless BvS is a 12 Hour Epic then we have a HUGE problem...
They'll have to trim a LOT of fat to make this project work... I'd obviously start with Wonder Stick Figure... She's got 6 more weeks to bulk up... Let's see the end result...
I'd ax Aquaman right off the bat. Both GL and Cyborg as well...
If I were to bring one or two DC guys, I'd look towards a certain Arrow and Flash... whose origins have been/are being told on the small screen.

Then again, what do I know? I'm not a Hollywood executive who snorts cocaine out of a dead hooker's butt-crack...

It's obvious that they are CRAMMING too much into one movie...
I could cite Spider-Man 3 for a multiple characters WITH origins explained in the movie, but I'll go to DC's side with

Batgirl, Bane, Poison Ivy, AND Mistuh Fweeze needed their own origins shoved in there.

Heres hoping that the movie does not suck (my dislike of Wonder Stickfigure aside) but this focus on the BIG TWO is why DC seems to fail at the movies.
