So I'd let that play out but after that, my first order of business would be a Flashpoint movie.
I'd start the movie with Ezra Miller's Barry Allen well-established as a veteran superhero - wearing a suit that looks more like the comic-book version. He's in a steady relationship with Iris at the start of the movie, who knows his secret. His dad is still in prison. He's well-loved as the hero of Central City, and fights some of the Rogues at the beginning (led by Captain Cold), but then finds himself plagued by a mysterious new villain - the Reverse-Flash, who knows his true identity and keeps taunting him. The encounter with the Reverse-Flash triggers Barry's repressed memories about the night his mom was murdered, and he believes that the Reverse-Flash might have been present there that night. Believing that this is the key to finding out what happened and possibly proving his dad's innocence, he decides to travel back in time...
Cut to a powerless, single Barry waking up in the Flashpoint timeline, where his mom is still alive and his dad is free. Aquaman and Wonder Woman (played by Momoa and Gadot respectively) are at war. Cyborg (Ray Fisher of course) is the world's primary superhero. The world hasn't heard of Superman. And Batman is a murderous Thomas Wayne (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
From there the film plays out pretty faithfully to the beats of the original story. Barry teams up with Thomas, recreates the accident that gave him his powers - they team up with Cyborg and Shazam to stop the war, discover a new version of Kal-El at a government research facility etc. In this version, a scientist named "Professor Thawne" ties into the plot (maybe as someone developing a weapon to stop the Amazon-Atlantis war) and Barry soon discovers that he is in fact the Reverse-Flash. The Reverse-Flash in this version is a Gog-like figure who travels the Multiverse defeating/killing Flashes. He manipulated the timeline of this earth's Barry by killing his mom to maximize his misery and weaken him before striking the killing blow - since merely beating the Flash at a game of speed had grown boring for him. However, the kicker is when Thawne reveals what really caused Flashpoint - Barry went back in time and stopped him from killing Nora Allen, in the process triggering a 'time boom' that shattered reality.
Barry goes back in time, stops himself from stopping Thawne and mostly restores reality. In the new timeline however, Batman is Robert Pattison's version (rather than Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman has been renowned as a superhero for decades, along with the JSA etc. Barry gives Bruce the letter from Flashpoint Thomas, then proposes to Iris at the end of the film.
My next film would be a new Justice League film based on Grant Morrison's "New World Order" story arc.
In the new timeline, the Justice League wasn't really a thing. They fought Steppenwolf a few years ago, then disbanded. However, J'onn J'onzz arrives on earth and warns them of an impending invasion by White Martians, who have secretely been infiltrating earth for decades, have planted themselves in positions of power, and turn the world against superheroes. Amidst this, a new League is formed - with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, J'onn and Hawkgirl (who will be introduced in the Black Adam movie). Shazam and Cyborg may also play major roles, and potentially a Green Lantern as well (personally I'd prefer John Stewart).
