WB doesn't know how to find the hook to make each hero work, so they say 'make it like (most successful work here)'. Then again, having a general tone may make things easier for them - but I think it kills the potential of each character's own movie imo.

My armchair producer approach:

Batman: Gritty, moody. Nolan had this right.
Superman: Wonder, sci-fi. Something Speilbergian, though no offense to what Snyder is doing.
Wonder Woman: Xena with a bigger budget essentially, at least the first half. Then merge that with the 'Man's World' second half.
Green Arrow: Social, streetwise. Similar to the show, but add more of Oliver's class warfare undertones (which the show does allude to).
Green Lantern: Essentially Star Wars. The cartoon knows this, the movie had no clue.
I'm not too worried about the big names. They seem to have a handle on how to handle them. GL I can see them sort of doing like Marvel did with Hulk, just acknowledge the movie but they probably have no more plans for him getting another. Maybe it's just nostalgia talking, but I think the old Flash tv show would kind of work if they did some minor updating.
