Boom, you established Cavil's return, but that also it won't be connected to the DCEU but will be Elseworld canon, like The Batman, Joker, any of Snyder's films, etc.
That way when you have movies like Shazam, or The Flash, or Man of Steel 2 or even any follow ups to Black Adam. There's still hype around them as Elseworld stories, as opposed to being meaningless with an unknown future.
That has been the biggest rocky start they've had
