Easy. Zach Snyder wanted to make this one even though he clearly has no understanding how to do these characters. However they keep on giving him the job because they think he'll replicate the success of Watchmen. Not realizing that the Watchmen are entirely different and morally not as good characters compared to DC superheroes. So he made the film for a while, his daughter committed suicide, and Joss Weadon had to scramble together the pieces of his broken film.

That and Patty Jenkins from Wonder Woman was busy writing the sequel at the time.
