I'm not sure it's better. I mean, it is in may ways, but it's over-long and doesn't pace itself well, along with how it ends/the last 20% of the film after the main conflict is resolved, that clearly was never meant to be part of it, but rather just gives a glimpse of "what could have been".
Ultimately though I think it was fighting a losing battle because it was too much, too soon, without enough ground-work. I also don't think it would ever have convinced me, because I still feel the DCU's tone feels all wrong.
But DC gave us their animated universe, from the likes of Batman TAS through to later stuff like Justice League Unlimited. I think they could make a success of it if they wipe the slate clean and go full on, full-throttle, technicolor, optimistic, bright, hopeful... DC's heroes are meant to be like modern myths; a 20th century equivalent of Hercules or Jason.
