I didn't see those.
To be blunt, the entire DCEU timeline/canon is a mess anyway so it's not like it really matters at this point. But one of the biggest and most fundamental points of Snyder's plan was that Superman was the beacon who drew the others out, Wonder Woman was around but was a cipher nobody knew existed and Batman was in the shadows as a myth, everyone else came after that, inspired by Superman revealing himself to the world.
So now, it's kinda "bad" enough that there's 80 million superheroes suddenly tripping over each other in the movies since they decided not to actually do the legwork and instead just drop them on everyone as if they'd always been there, but I mean, the toothpaste is out of the tube on that. But I mean, the JSA isn't the Suicide Squad, they're rather a big deal and this universe barely has a Justice LEAGUE, so 1. Where did these people come from? and 2. How long have they been around?
I know I pretty much have to just accept ANY explanation and shrug, at this point, I just hope it doesn't stretch credibility TOO much, is all. Like, "They TOO have been operating secretly in the shadows since 50+ years ago... just like This One and That One and..." Like that would just be the worst since they've run that well dry by now between Wonder Woman and the Squad and everything else. Plus it just ruins the entire point of MoS and everything it was designed to set up. "Superman was the Very First Super-Hero and his appearance changed the whole world! ...Except not, because there were actually like 100 other guys first, AND the government knew about them and just decided to act all shocked when Superman showed up." Like, it just creates a lot of really bad wrinkles in the storytelling.
Even "This JSA showed up 5 minutes ago" would be a bit of a stretch from a different direction, but I mean, it would be better, kind of, a little.
