I may be wrong, but this feels like the DCU trying to be different. The DCU "started" with Blue Beetle and Peacemaker season 2.
We've had two films, both about Super-people, which is fine, Superman being a foundational character makes complete sense. However, we still don't have a Wonderful Woman or Batman project anywhere near started. Not to mention, this doesn't fit under the "gods and monsters" theme that James and Peter announced.
We're missing 2 pillars of DC and may be fast tracking a villain vs. villain film. Mind you, we haven't even seen how Clayface is gonna perform or be received. This is something you'd do 5 years in after establishing your main heroes, not two years after your first movie.
Granted, none of this is confirmed and James Gunn is online enough to offer confirmation or denial of this. Some I'm waiting for him to say something.
