When first introduced Superman and Batman were pretty dark heroes ( Batman the darker of the two) and both had killed like Superman with Zod or Batman with a good amount of criminals in BVS and it was only as time past that they started to get lighter similarly to how to Universe is suppose to get LighterAndSofter after Justice League. In a way The DCEU is following the comics they just aren't starting from the modern interpretations.

[[Film/SuicideSquad2016 Enchantress and Incubus]] were worshipped as gods, forgotten for thousands of years and then killed at the end of ''Suicide Squad''. Likewise for El Diablo, who turned out to be a literal devil. Then we find out that Ares killed all the Olympus gods and was himself slain by Wonder Woman. All the gods are dying before ''Justice League'' so that they can make way for the ComicBook/NewGods.
