It worked out pretty well for the cartoons. There is a stark divide (lol, stark), between Marvel and DC. Marvel characters are cool, they are sick, they are awesome, they do things the way we imagine superpowered people would do things partially because it's rule of cool, but in-universe, it's because they think the way we do. With great power comes a form of ingenuity we who are powerless can only attain through a lot of experimentation with technology. However, even with all of that, they are not DC. DC characters are timeless and instantly recognizable everywhere. People find it easier to recognize the Bat or the S or even the double-W than, say, the Avengers A, the star-spangled Shield, the Spider, the 4 in Fantastic. People are more likely to ask why somebody is dressed like an American flag than to wonder why they are dressed in black with a cape and pointy ears. They are more likely to confuse Iron Man with a knight than they are to confuse Superman with an escaped mental patient with an affinity for spandex. Of course, this is most likely due the fact that DC is older.

The point is that, if anyone can get away with shoehorning a bunch of comic staple superheroes into one movie with little to no introduction, it would likely be DC. They just have to make sure the wow factor outshines any problems with the plot.
