My instinct is that trying really hard to avoid any overlap with Reeves vision would be a positive more than a negative. You could have the status quo be really, really different for a Batman movie - maybe a lot of the classic supporting characters have moved on and are replaced by successors, maybe Gordon is retired, maybe Alfred isn't around. Things that could really mix up the dynamic. Maybe at least initially they could completely avoid the classic rogues gallery in favor of more weird, obscure and fantastical ones.
Why build a DCU Batman with classic characters like Alfred and Gordon off the table? That seems like "we killed Dick Grayson off screen in BvS" all over again.
