^ Except for Cyborg solo movie That's the definition of RISK. He'd have to be the breakout star of the JL movie for it not to be.
Some of the other stuff on that list is stuff from the comics though just continuity on different Earths.
Alexander Luthor Jr. in the comics, depending on which version is a good guy. Same sort of way that one version of Brainiac is a good guy. Luthor Jr. was apart of Crisis and the whole Earth 2 Superman stuff iirc.
To me it's a cop out and smart. They never fully established what continuity this movie universe would be adapting from the comics. We're slowly finding out that it's bits and pieces from some and large chunks from others. There's a lot of Miller's Dark Knight stuff for Batman. I'm not even clear on all of the Supes stuff, somebody who knows more can say. Other stuff is yet to be revealed.
For everybody thinking they were trying to do the Luthor most of us know and thought they messed by choosing Eisenberg, you can exhale knowing it's pretty much not that version. So they still have the room to experiment with this version of Luthor they want that's younger and probably more modern.
This is what I mean by risk. It's seriously a composite DC universe they're making; I love how they're drawing from all kinds of continuity and alternate interpretations. It's not corny like the old school Superman movies or a bunch of depressingly dark movies like the Nolan trilogy.
Superman in this verse is basically New 52 Supes with a bit of Birthright thrown in for that edge and hipper feel
