Yeah but would that idea include Grant Gustin as Barry Allen for Justice League? He's a bit young really. I suppose they could use a different actor for Flash if they say JL takes place like 10 years after the events of Arrow.
I hope they do it (especially if they're not making any other solo films before JL), and just make any difficulties like Flash's age fit somehow. But I just don't see WB/DC having the motivation to do that tbh. There will be too many execs saying "no we can't do that, it will be too difficult and probably won't help the box office. Let's not stifle our creativity like that" and blah blah...
Because thing is, as awesome a show as Arrow is, the average viewing is only like 3 million. So if they look at the numbers like accountants they probably will think "screw it, it's not worth it." But if they want to be smart, ambitious and original then they could use both franchises to market each other, and it could work really well Imo. Unfortunately I'm not a WB exec, so they won't listen to my marketing brilliance!

Some disagreements doesn't mean they are scrapping everything and going in a different direction. Those sites weren't specific and there are rumors of them shooting JL back to back.
It's kind of a given that they're having issues. And will be a reasonable assumption until WB make some big announcement that makes sense out of everything.
On the other hand it could all just be part of some crazy ass marketing:

The delay seems to have increased hype for the movie. Which is really bizzare!
