Well, James Gunn decided to reboot DC movies, and created the DCU. He kept some story elements from the old continuity using broad strokes.

Some have speculated that, yes. No explicit connection can be gathered thus far, so just a reboot.

It regardless of how this story is told, it wont be worse than how Titans botched it. Worse than anything Batwoman or GK did, mind you.James Gunn Explains How the Clayface Movie Seemed to Happen so Fast

It's incorrect. TV Tropes has got it right, "broad strokes" canon. The general flow of events happened but the actual movie and episodes with all their specific details didn't.Here's something interesting DC Database's page for the DCU considers the Suicide Squad, Blue Beetle and Peacemaker Season 1 to be retroactive canon

the ending of the flash is very vague and honestly much more confusing than anything; knowing that including clooney was gunns decision i honestly wouldnt look at anything previous to cc as canon at all, even if they get referenced in the future, the "dceu" earth and the "dcu" earth at this point arent meant to overlap or be considered the same at all, and quite honestly id be surprised if the old dceu is ever referred to ever again once we are past cc and peacemaker 2

At one point by the way, they had Aquaman and its sequel as "DCU", so the wiki is a bit stupid.Here's something interesting DC Database's page for the DCU considers the Suicide Squad, Blue Beetle and Peacemaker Season 1 to be retroactive canon

The Justice League don't exist during the DCU version of that show. Gunn has said that they don't exist yet.
Then who would show up at the end?

No one. That whole scene occurred because they kept trying to call the Justice League. Peacemaker S1 isn't canon anyway.
It's broad strokes though so it's technically still canon with changes

Only specific events mentioned are canon, and they're canon because they were referenced in the DCU, not because they were in those films. Gunn's words.

think of the dceu like star wars legends; that all happened previously, and sometimes the new continuity will continue to draw from it, and when anything from it is mentioned it then becomes canonical but until then it no longer counts
