What makes you say WW damaged the DCU?
Justice League's opening. What else? I do not believe
Wonder Woman attracted normal action or comic-book fans. It attracted a lot of people seeing it to support feminism. These people will not show up for future DCU films (as JL is proving). Normally in franchises, if film x does well, film y that follows has a knock-on effect and also does well. This isn't happening. So DC can keep releasing Wonder Woman films, and they may do well (though I believe the feminist interest will wane) while all the others will under-perform. That does not sound like a prosperous business plan.
Another angle to see it from is that
Wonder Woman increased expectations for further installments in the franchise that they just cannot maintain. I think
Wonder Woman is shit, and by
Justice League's opening, maybe others were not so impressed with it too.
