They had a Flash and a Batman on tv show and movie. Their stupid reasoning is that people would be too confused. I think the real reason is that they don't want the shows to upstage them.

However Flash and Batman are exceptions for two different reasons. Grant Gustin was put into a contract with DC when he became the Flash for a spinoff from Arrow and thus cannot be killed off or removed until the contract is over. Batman is different as we can't have the cowl itself, but we can have Bruce Wayne. So we can never have the Bat ears or the symbol shown at all.
