If they weren't worried about what people said, they wouldn't have put a leash on Snyder and hired Geoff Johns to do damage control.
But the question is, the damage control was just for the fans or really meant something for the Dceu machine? I am really not sure of the correct answer...

They can make it work, SS and GCS were a given. Didn't WB execs said that they're going to make solo spinoffs from the assembled movies. The other movies are also happening, Aquaman is still happening in 2018 and hopefully Flash to if they can get hold of a director soon, JLD, Batman and MoS 2 are definitely getting made. The only thing not clear in the list are Shazam, GL and Cyborg because we haven't heard anything about them yet but it makes sense, there's still like 8 movies between them, there's no need to hurry.
I think some of you guys are missing the point that there is no Dc movie studio and WB has a lot of other properties that they can and will do movies about, the resources exploration is totally different when you are divided in subsidiaries, and you can see that in how much longer the filming of JL was, when compared for ex. with Spider-Man H...

This, the entire slate is changeable. However much as I detest Harley, the concept of a GCS films makes sense both from a financial and franchise expansion standpoint.
You mean Batman franchise, right? But how do you know it makes sense and will work? Its supposed to be the Dceu, i will assume that most of the fans are interested in a Dc shared universe not just Batman, MoS was in 2013, and was the Dceu movie with better reception from audiences, it needs a sequel before any of the projects that WB is working more actively... The shared universe concept has a hard execution and details like just ignore some characters fan base (Ex. Superman) can mine the entire project... In the Mcu you see the opposite with Feige trying to put Cap on Iron Man's level, and Thor also getting what appears to be a huge movie...
If the can rope in more female viewers without demeaning the male characters(looks at Thor) then that's good and they've assigned Ayer to it so even if it flops then who cares.
It doesn't work that way, because not everything that can have impact in comics also can in the movies, there is a huge appeal range difference between both mediums. From the data that i have there is female appeal and ideology appeal, and that are different things... Not saying that will fail and certainly that will work a lot better than Ghostbusters, but there are some mistakes that WB needs to avoid... But even if there is a point in applying to the movies some of the comics moves, everything about female Thor was franchise regressive, because all the Asgardian spins were cancelled, Marvel/Aaron had to release a new comic to tell the unworthy story because they know that the majority of the fan base would not read that story in the Pr book, yet is still not selling well, just like the one that apparently is supported more by ideology than anything else...
