Just watched it again and the only ones that do much of anything are Flash and Green Lantern....Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman really didn't do much of anything, it all kind of felt Flash and Green Lantern focused.
shareWell, that was intentional. The focus was on the dawn of the Silver Age. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman represented the "Old Guard." Hal Jordon, Barry Allen and J'onn were the first representatives of the new generation of DC heroes. This was their time to shine.

As true as that maybe Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman could have put up way more of a fight before they went down....they didn't.

Well Batman never went down...and at least we got to see superman in some action
Wonder woman was very downplayed in this movie, we didn't even get to see her try to kick alien ass :(
Flash and Green Lantern shepherded in the Silver Age. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman essentially continued as before. Cooke's purpose was to shine a light onto the Silver Age characters, which is why they are at the forefront, along with J'onn J'onnz, the Challengers of the Unknown, the Suicide Squad, Adam Strange, and some of the others.

I agree with this but Batman, he was the one that came up with the plan and looked for the scientist.
He was as much needed as the others.
As for the rest yes... especially Aquaman showing up after it's over.
