Any movie with superman in it will inherently fail/be bad unless it is 1. A children's movie 2. Is only a superman movie and no other super heroes, or 3. Self aware and absurdist about superman and his powers and make it a comedy.
Superman is a god. There is no way getting around that. His powers are like nothing else in the justice league. The only real threat to superman are god like villains, but they make the other heroes basically useless since they're not competing on the same level and can't do anything superman couldn't do. The other heroes are just there to get their asses kicked until superman arrives.
Conversely if you don't use a god tier villain then there is no drama. Sure, the justice league might have a problem fighting batman's rogue gallery, but superman can just sweep in and deal with everyone in seconds thus again making everyone else useless.
This means the only way to make a team superman movie is to basically come up with a way to keep superman out of the picture or neutralized through 90% of the movie and then he swoops in right before the climax and saves the day because he is the only one capable of saving the day. This story telling can really only work once. But they have to keep doing it over and over to the point where if you're going to watch a DC team movie you're going to go "well how are they getting rid of superman today."
