The mismanagement happened because even the early DCEU didn't make much huge amounts of money (behind the scenes cost of setting up the franchise are not taken into account with individual film budgets) and their expectations were comparing it to Marvel and being behind the MCU which had just had an Avengers' movie break a billion. Mixed reactions from audiences and critics didn't help and they constantly went into panic mode. And post Justice League they were already in reboot mode when Aquaman made big bucks, confusing the process. Then they tried to course correct with Black Adam and the Flash. It was mismanaged from the get go because they expected MCU money/acclaim, felt behind, didn't have a plan and structure.
I mean fuck: post Man of Steel, WB were begging Christopher Nolan to be their Kevin Feige and even talked Christopher Bale about reprising the role of Batman in BvS and retroactively making the Nolan films the start of the DCEU.
