These characters such as Deathstroke, Boomerang and co that will appear in DCEU aren't 'embargoed' from appearing but can't appear at the same time in both formats. CW will have 'windows' when they can use characters such as Deathstroke.

And Cap. Boomerang isn't dead, neither is Malcolm Merlyn. John Barrowman won't be appearing this season because of illness and the writers wanted to give the show a break from Merlyn. Boomerang is a bit different because SS2 won't be made before The Batman or Deathstroke or any Joker/Harley Quinn movie. Well yeah, i know there are windows. Superman used those windows a couple of times when Man of Steel Superman was dead.
