The DCEU has certainly had a tough time with both critics and audiences, what with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice surprising everyone by grossing "only" $873.3 million worldwide, when almost all pre-release estimates suggested it would smash the $1 billion barrier with ease.

Bad reviews are largely blamed for the movie having an historic box office drop after a strong opening, but with Wonder Woman's recent success critically and financially, it looks like the DCEU's fortunes may start turning back around.

If Justice League gets at least broadly positive reviews, as it just might with a lighter tone and the help of Joss Whedon, then Warner Bros. should comfortably get their first billion-dollar DCEU movie. Unless audiences feel overly burned by Batman v Superman and the reviews for Justice League are bad, this is probably happening.
