I think the problem is there's a disconnect with the JL images and the Avengers images. Because JL image is so hyper stylised and dark there's not a great deal there for your brain to interpret as being real. Avengers image looks like real life in comparison. Things blend together better and thus your brain has an easy time accepting it as looking better and more believable.
For some people.
There are some people who don't need to be fooled into thinking something is actually real. Much like has been the case for decades of film, we already know what we're watching is not real, and is a piece of entertainment art. Decent effects and performances and imagination helps to make it feel real.
Aside from the effects not being completely finished, I'm not even sure what looks all that "fake" about the images in the Justice League trailer, to be honest.
There's a certain sense of "It's dark, so it looks fake", but how accurate is that? A lot of the shots are at night or in shadowy conditions, true.
It's dark in those conditions. It's harder to see things, even in real life. If, in real life, a real Aquaman was leaping into the air and being threatened by alien fire/laser weapons, and we were viewing it from a distance and through some kind of haze, who is to say that it wouldn't look a lot like the above picture? The CGI artists do a lot of research and work with lighting and so on to reflect real world conditions and to light characters for film.
