Their biggest mistake was trying to copy Marvel

They DC Animated Universe laid the groundwork a long time ago for an amazing combined universe with Superman TAS, Batman TAS, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited. They should have followed that framework instead.

This. They started off on a shaky foundation from the beginning (or at least after Man of Steel).

It was clear the only real direction they had was fasttracking to a Justice League movie and it felt nowhere near as organic as what the MCU did. While it was clear that the intent was to originally build up to an Avengers movie, they took their time fleshing out the universe and its characters. Figuring out how to make Thor work in the context of an MCU that had been fairly grounded up until that point. Doing early groundwork on each character's character development so that when it came time for the big crossover, the distinct quirks between each character could be fully explored once it came time for them to interact.

The perfect comparison is BvS vs CA: CW. On the surface, they are very, very similar movies, with two heroes in conflict with one another as a result of the machinations of a master manipulator. But Cap and Iron-Man already had clear ideological differences even before heading into that movie and Zemo merely took advantage of that.

Whereas in BvS, it's just Lex Luthor forcing them to fight by literally going "Fight Batman or I'll kill your mom!", which isn't anywhere near as interesting and is pretty lazy writing. Like, the entire DCEU is written just to make certain scenes happen without any regard for actual character writing.
