Even if the actors and shows aren't integrated, and Green Arrow may not even be in the JLA movie, at least people will know the Flash's origins and the basics of what he's about just like with Green Lantern. Even if you didn't care for the movie it did explain what Hal was about and how he got his powers and that's all that is really needed to feed him into the story, unless they go with John Stewart and even then Oa, the rings and the corp are already established. Maybe they aren't established in this "universe" but it would be easy enough to bleed it all over and change the tone.
Nobody is on the level of recognition Batman or Superman are DC or Marvel. They have 75 years of pop culture behind them. Iron Man was essentially a nobody to the public before his movie and look at him now. He's the face of their franchise. Batman and Superman are the face of DC and they are already established, and I would argue that Wonder Woman is too. Would it have been nice to have a refresher for her? Sure, but she will be easy enough to explain. The rest are just ancillary characters to this movie so they only need to be so fleshed out and this will provide the entry point for them and the JLA movie can expand even more on it kind of like Hawkeye and Black Widow were done with Avengers.
