It almost seemed like they were planning to start something similar in Green Lantern by having Amanda Waller show up but then the movie flat out killed her off.
The movie also being terrible and one of the biggest cinematic bombs of the decade didn't exactly help any future plans either.
That's kind of been the problem more than anything with DC trying to give other super heroes beyond Batman and Superman movies. A combination of bad luck, incompetence, or cold feet by those controlling the money has halted any attempts to get more than those two names out into the general public or, in Green Lantern's case especially, attached very negative stigmata to them.
While I don't think they should copy Marvel's integrated universe idea whole cloth they SHOULD try to go with the idea of starting with something smaller scale first to deal with the perception issues for their characters before unleashing the giant mega cross-over madness.
