Wonder Woman: Ares, with an ironic twist. Diana initially assumes that he's the Big Bad in the sense of being behind absolutely every bit of evil of the First World War, since she assumes humans are Always Lawful Good and wouldn't do such things otherwise. In reality, Ares isn't interfering with human free will at all, simply giving Ludendorff and Doctor Poison weapons of mass destruction and letting them decide to prolong the war. Nevertheless, he's responsible for the Death of the Old Gods and the backstory of the Amazons, which by itself would make him the Greater-Scope Villain, and serves as the Final Boss.
Justice League: Steppenwolf, the leader of the Apokoliptian invasion seeking to find the Mother Boxes and Take Over the World, forcing Batman and Wonder Woman to form the Justice League from the heroes Lex has files on in order to stop him.

Zack Snyder's Justice League: Steppenwolf remains The Heavy, revealed to be The Exile who just wants to return to Apokolips, while Darkseid and DeSaad are properly introduced and featured more prominently as his superiors. The "Knightmare" briefly seen in Dawn of Justice is revealed to be from a Bad Future where Darkseid conquered Earth after discovering the Anti-Life Equation on it and using it to corrupt Superman to his side after killing Lois Lane to make him susceptible, making for a threat so dangerous, Batman's resistance includes other villains like Joker and Deathstroke. Had the initial visions of the DCEU not become an Aborted Arc, this would have made him the overall Big Bad of the DCEU.

The Duke of Deception, the Dreamstone's creator, is the Greater-Scope Villain who made the Dreamstone take something from the wisher in exchange for the wish, a personal toll as Wonder Woman's request to revive Steve Trevor depowers her and forces her to renounce his resurrection.

SHAZAM! Fury of the Gods: The Daughters of Atlas, Hespera and Kalypso (and Anthea), who seek to take the Shazamily's powers in order to rebuild their homeland.
